Seems like an excellent dollar value compared to other similar items. I've never tried this kind of product before, though, so I have no experience to compare with. The closest thing I'm familiar with is the cheap goggles sold for use in machine shops, and I always hated those.I bought this to wear without a helmet when I ride my motor-scooter, and one of the selling features was the extra lens. The dark lens was perfect for riding in bright sunlight.The first time I tried to change the lenses, I had to pull really hard to get the factory-installed clear one to unsnap from the bottom, but after that, the lens changes are easy. Just be careful to get the lens into the groove all the way around.The first time I used it, I had a hard time getting my prescription glasses to fit into the goggles; I had to press them past the edges of the foam liner. A few times on and off and it became easier. Once in place, it's great; my glasses are in just the right place and there are no pressure points.Comfort is great. The wide headband has a wavy ribbon of tacky rubber (silicone, I think) on the inside for good grip. I think that's for use on helmets. I used this without a helmet, and the strap was adjusted to a good fit out of the box. The cloth-covered foam surrounds are very comfortable all around.The airflow is just enough to be comfortable and these seem like they'd do a good job keeping out dust.Given the nature of the soft foam rubber, I don't think these will last more than a couple years, but at this price I won't mind replacing them.

These goggles are amazing, especially for the price. I wear eyeglasses and these fit comfortably over them. It's extremely useful to be able to swap the clear and dark lenses in under a minute. I bike 38 miles each day for work on a rigid mountain bike, and the goggles fog up when I'm stopped in traffic, but after around fifteen seconds of riding, they clear up again. The band has a nice range of adjustment, and I open it up a bit to strap the goggles around my helmet after I take them off. I've biked through numerous clouds of grass ejected from ride-on motors and so far nothing has gotten in my eyes besides sweat. The only con that I've found in a few hundred miles of riding are the two little plastic sticks that hold the lenses in above and below the nose bridge. They seem very brittle and are already starting to turn white. However, the lenses would still stay in pretty well without one of these, so it's not a deal breaker, especially at 1/3 of the price of most big name brand goggles.

I got these for The Burn to fit over my glasses, but they didn't fit right. I have a small face, and as a previous review states, they were too big. The bridge of the nose had a gap and the sides bowed out a bit. They also smashed the glasses in to my face.I had the goggles with the extra shatterproof lens in the "Micro Fiber Pouch Bag for Storage and Cleaning" case for the car ride, and when I took them out of my backpack to switch the lens (which is easy to do), I noticed the spare lens was totally scratched up. I made sure to check there was no plastic removable coating, and sure enough, it's the actual lens that was scratched up with no use and barely any friction (just the rubberized goggle strap that touched it, I think).I ended up getting an impulse pair at the stand at Empire which were a perfect fit over my glasses on my squashy little face, also Global Vision. (I would post the name, but I have no idea what they were... fail. They were the only "Fits Over Glasses!" pair there, though.)These were useful, though, as a spare for a big headed friend who didn't wear glasses, but by the end of the trip the lenses are both totally scratched up and the foam padding is rubbing off/disintegrating.Update 2016: These went from a three star to four. These are the only goggles that would fit over my current chunkier framed glasses.

This product it's very good, the only downside for me it's that it's to big, it looks like scuba dive mask, but it do its job, it protect yours eyes!!If the size it's not a problem for you, get it!

We purchased two sets of these after reading the review below saying they were good for Burning Man. I couldnt agree more!! :))I spent ages trying to find pictures online showing someone wearing these googles.. I must admit there was a level of vanity in there hehe. I found no pictures. So I had to make a choice based on requirements instead. And boy did these things deliver.1) I could fit them over my glasses and my prescription sunglasses (which are roughly the same width as my glasses)- glasses about 13.5cm width.2) I could easily change the lenses between day and night - once you know how to do it you can do it super fast.Hubby also quickly got over his "oh but do they look cool" worries and we happily wore them for the whole of burning man either around our necks, or on top of our hats, or on our eyes ;) If you really wanted to get away from the paintballer look you could easily glue some pretty stuff onto them.I wore them thru a massive dust storm at night. They were superb. There was only the tiniest of tiny leaks thru the side when you turned your head sideways into the wind. This was fixed by not turning your head sideways into the wind lol.They NEVER fogged up in the desert - day or night.. probably because its 0 humidity! doh.. all that worry about fogging.I would re buy these in a heart beat...im quite tempted to take them skiing now :) im an average sized female and hubby is your standard XL shirt kind of guy and we both give them 5 stars!
