I bought these to replace a full hood for periodic welding tasks, and I'm extremely pleased with them overall. I paid less than $10 with shipping, they were to me in a reasonable time, and they were pretty much exactly as described.

Pros: The flip-up outer lenses are extremely handy, much easier than my full hood. The lenses are mounted behind a simple retaining ring that required no special tools to remove, thus allowing me to swap out with other lenses of the appropriate size.

Cons: The clear inner lenses are cheap plastic and have an odd bevel along the edge that distorts your view.

I simply removed the inner elements. I'll be replacing them at some point with the glass from a pair of UV photography filters (such as Tiffen 52mm UV Protection Filter), since impact resistance is not a requirement. I haven't measured yet, but the lenses appear to be approximately 52mm.

In my opinion the price is definitely right on these goggles, and I surely recommend them.

I purchased these goggles for oxy/acl cutting thinking it was around a shade 5 and a comfortable fit. When I received them the first thing I did was put them on and noticed that the plastic was so hard and the edges were so sharp that when it touches your nose it hurts. Also it didn't fit snugly to my face no matter how tight I made it. After some slight modifications to make the nose area more comfortable I went to cut some steal. Well that's when I finally figured out what shade it was, must be a 10-11. I couldn't see anything. So overall I got what I paid for. If I would have just went to harbor freight I would g
Have seen the same pos's and never have got them. Happy buying y'all.

We ordered these goggles for my son for his Dr. Horrible costume. They are absolutly perfect for this. We were worried that they might not fit his little head but they were easily adjustable and now they stay firmly in place. They do leave a bit of a mark but I think that is to be expected. They shipped and arrived on time and I bought them for around only $9; good deal.

These are great for not only my halloween costume, but my husband is able to use the for real when he welds!!!

I purchased these goggles because I wanted something I could wear for my Halloween costume (the Engineer from TF2) and still have for when I wanted to do some oxy-acetylene work. They were a real hit among partygoers, and they fit really well over my eyeglasses. The flip-up lenses were also really handy for bumbling around in the dark.

My two very minor complaints:

1. The strap has a tendency to pull out of its supports when it's under tension, but I got around that by sizing it to my head and then pinning it in place. Not really a big deal, but it's a bit of a pain to put the straps back in.
2. The goggles have a tendency to fog up. I wasn't really expecting much in the way of ventilation for a $5 pair of welding goggles (looks like Amazon overstocked on Halloween because they're down to $2.50 a pair now) but it did affect my ability to wear them for a long period of time.

OK...so they aren't silver. But they are cheap and the looked good during the Halloween charity screening of Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.

I bought this item for reasons completely unrelated to welding. To tell the truth, I bought it for my kids, so that they could play Robotic Astronauts. So my main concern was the durability - and so far it seems to be great. The thing works, it looks great, the materials are sturdy and strong, so I do really like it =)

product is great for the very low price... does exactly what it is meant to do, little hard on the head/face but what do you expect for a couple of bucks! perfect.

The goggles work great, they are pretty dark when the lenses are down. They tint everything red, some technicians like that and some don't. The plastic frame is a little uncomfortable, but for the price they are worth it.

Got these to use with a large fresnel lens. Gets mighty bright in full sun and these work great. Flip up the darker lenses to see your target then flip them back down quick and easy for incineration.
