After a slight modification these goggles work awesome. I even wore them in hot weather on a long bike ride and they did not fog up. But I did take a razor blade and cut away the foam padding that covers the air vents on these. Once that was done no more fogging. I'm happy with them. Plus I like to pretend I'm Riddick now.

Pros:

- you get what you pay for

- like the other reviewer said blocks sun

- I took a direct paintball hit to the eye and it blocked it(and washed off) perfectly.

Cons:

-If you use this and are running around they may fog out which means you need to leave a bit of an opening(don't tighten it to much otherwise you can't see!)

- The other reviewer said the strap is to big, no kidding.

These aren't bad for the money, overall, but they look better than they perform. They seem sturdy enough, and are inclined to stay in place once settled, but tend to fog up within a few minutes. The vents don't seem to allow enough air passage to prevent this, which is disappointing. Unless you want to spend time clearing the vents or wiping the lenses, you may want to look elsewhere for eye protection.

OK, so they won't make you into Riddick, but they'll give you some of his style! For the price, these are a nice pair of glasses.

Pros: block alot of sun, foam padding around eyes will keep sweat from running in your eyes if you're outside

Cons: the strap is huge! I'm talking about width, here. as in 15/16ths of an inch- ok. I'll exaggerate- it's an inch! Wrapped around the back of your head. lol. Depending on how big your ears are, they might work as earmuffs also. But since it's not usually cold when the sun is out, I can't consider that a PRO!

If the wide strap isn't a problem for you, then these definitely look cool if you're already looking at them.

The reason they are fogging up on you is the comfortable foam padding blocks the anti-fogging vents built into the frame. Take an ice pick or the tip of small sharp knife (an exacto would be ideal) and cut holes in the foam behind the vents and slits all around the frame. It takes 30 seconds and makes these goggles something I would happily pay three times the $10 price tag for. These are my standard tac-goggles when I'm on duty and I love them to death.

The Neoprene padding completely blocks the air vents. Goggles fog up in less than a minute. You have to take a razor and cut out spaces in the padding to unblock the air vents. This product is toy! Not made for actual use.

These goggles are great for the price!

Pros: For starters, they look awesome! They stay on your face/head really well even when doing sports/activities. I really like the adjustable elastic band as you can skydive or ride a motorcycle and they would be secure. You can also wear them for military/law enforcement training, running, biking, etc. They have a slight foam cushion around the eyes so they are comfortable to wear. The style is really balanced as well. Meaning, you could wear them to go skateboarding or you could wear them for military training and they wouldn't look "out of place" at either location.

Cons: They can fog up rather easily. It doesn't happen every time, but can happen easily if you don't use some type of anti-fog treatment. Also, they don't always feel like there's a perfect seal around your eyes. This isn't really a problem unless you're going to be in a sandstorm or something like that. If you need a pair of goggles for precision shooting or high speed tactical training, however, I'd suggest getting different goggles. Pay more and invest in something that has a perfect seal, doesn't fog up, and offers some level of ballistic protection. If you just want to play sports, airsoft, or do regular training, these goggles should work out fine.

Overall, these are really nice. I bought mine off Amazon brand new for $5.99 (not inluding S&H) and don't regret it at all. They look pretty cool and seem to function just fine. Recommend product.

Pros:

Look Cool

Cons:

They do fog

Observations:I'm a 5'10" male with the 'average' face(What ever that means right?). These goggles fit a little too large. Looks are aesthetically pleasing, which is why I bought them. Not practical for intense activity where one would sweat as the 'breathe' slots in the upper and lower frame

are more dense than you would think. It does not allow for circulation of air. I had them on

in my home(76 degrees thermostat) just walking around and they began to fog after a couple of minutes.

So, what kind of review can I truely write about this product? I could tell you that aesthetically it's great; it looks and feels good. It's low profile allows you to wear it under that Army of Two mask you've been wanting. As to whether or not it can take a hit from a bb flying in excess of 350 fps... you're asking the wrong guy. Call it skill or an overwhelming aversion to being hit in the face with things, but I've never actually had the opportunity to test the impact strength of these goggles (hence the 4 stars). To anyone out there who has been hit in the goggles I say this to you, you're a better man than I am; a horrible airsoft player, but a better man.

I'm typing this review on DOA, so you can imagine that I haven't broken them in properly yet, but I've been wearing them all day, and they are just great. They fit snuggly against your skin, and don't move around very much at all, the lenses block out the sun wonderfully, without hindering sight all that much. I personally prefer to wear them just above my eyebrows, because I don't need them for practicality all that much, and that's the glory of them, they're aesthetically pleasing as well as being practical when you need them. A great accessory to be sure. I'm glad I made my purchase. (I also ordered from Military trail, because they had free shipping, was very pleased with that as well :P )
