Great COVID-19 goggles. Here's a hack for reading glasses wearers...
First the goggles, and then my hack:GOGGLES: As described by another reviewer, these goggles have slots for the temples of eyeglasses, so they are not 100% tight. However, that was very easy to remedy with a little piece of foam weather stripping. The goggles are a pretty good fit to my face, which is pretty average for European ancestry. Flatter and broader noses probably wouldn't fit well, and there is not a lot of forgiveness (cushion) in the fit. The lenses DO NOT FOG, even if you try to fog them directly with your breath. They are very clear and of good optical quality. They are reasonably comfortable and easy to put on. They may not fit well with all masks, but there is generally pretty good space over the nose. Furthermore, the nose area of the goggles can hold down the edge of most masks.MY HACK (see photos): I cannot read without my reading glasses, and this pandemic is driving me nuts. When I put on my specs, I have to take off my goggles. And I'm worried I might infect myself by transferring germs to my eyes. No longer! These goggles seem to have an attachment area for some accessory around the nose, and I used it for attaching reading specs. I cut a notch in the rubber and zip-tied a pair of Noble brand flat reading specs to the mask. The specs can flip up or down. In the down position, I get a tiny "bifocal" area down low, which works for most purposes. In the up position, the specs are in the center of my visual field - suitable for reading a computer screen. I had to make one tiny modification to the specs: The bridge is a plastic "spring" that grips the nose. I had to heat the bridge very carefully to soften the plastic, so that I could re-form it with the lenses in a more "flat" orientation.Overall, I'm very pleased with the goggles and am giddy that I now have specs I can use without doffing my PPE and risking contamination! :-D

Not totally sealed, but here's why...
I bought this product based upon the apparent popularity on Amazon, despite some of the negatives that were touted. Biggest thing seemed to be a lack of proper fit which didn't allow for a total seal. I decided to take a flier on this anyway, and I'm really not disappointed.I'm a retired firefighter, and I was looking for a goggle that I could use in a brush fire situation. I live in a wildland area, and I was recently forced to work in fire zone while helping to evacuate our horse (among others) just recently. With this incident, I didn't have goggles, and I regretted it from the outset. Winds up to 50 mph along with embers and debris made me wish I had my goggles, but I didn't have them. That's why I looked to buy a set.This set is seemingly well made and is comfortable. Many of the goggles I looked at online are designed to work with a helmet, which meant the headband might be overly big. Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't want to take the chance. Not the case with this goggle. It is easily adjusted to fit a head without a helmet.I was looking for a non-vented goggle to help protect from smoke intrusion. This goggle seemingly met that description, so I pulled the trigger. Fit-wise, most of the periphery of the goggle makes a very good seal for me. That's a plus. However, since this goggle is designed to go over glasses, there is a slight gap in the seal at the temple which allows for glasses earpieces to pass through. No amount of adjustment can make up for this gap.Maybe I'll look to see if I can fill that gap with silicon, but maybe I won't. If you are in a brush fire situation, the smoke will be bad, but blowing debris and ash will be the biggest hazard for your eyes. These will certainly fill the bill for that.These were purchased specifically for use while working around a brush fire. They haven't been tested yet in that regard, but it seems to be a very good product for the price. If you're simply looking for eye protection for other tasks (chainsaw or other situations where the eye might be threatened), these will certainly fill the bill.I gave this five stars based on what I was looking for and what was delivered. I may be proven wrong down the road, but I'm happy with this purchase at the outset.

Bought To Use After Getting PRK/Lasik Eye Surgery
I had corrective eye surgery done. I wasn't supposed to be around smoke, dust, etc. That includes a lot of things like dirt biking, using my leaf blower, anything in general that was going to expose me to dust or smoke - which included grilling and using my smoker. Screech! Halt? I want the best outcome for this eye surgery but the grill and smoker is tough. I generally grill every night to get some lean protein. I'm exposed to this smoke not only close to the appliance, but since they are in a semi-enclosed porch with a small hole to the attic to my house. I also used them as I wanted to plant some new flowers in a flower bed. I have a small rotor tiller and when I use it there will be some dusty/dirt kick-up. Used these while I was doing that to keep any dirt/dust from getting into my eye. The thing I was most impressed with is that it was hot while I was rotor-tilling and planting these flowers. I was sweating a lot. No sweat ever made it to my eyes while wearing these and they did not fog up at all!So for no other reason - got these so I could grill/smoke food and do dusty yard work after corrective eye surgery. I will admit, I did purchase another pair of goggles like this not available on Amazon. Full-fledged forest fireman goggles from Ft Collins, CO. But...I didn't realize they wouldn't arrive till several days after my surgery. So these were a temporary fix. No 5 star as they aren't the best.

Great Goggles
The media could not be loaded. These goggles were perfect, this week I had to fight a wildland fire out in the country and these goggles, not just protected my eyes from the heat and smoke, help me see clearly and fit okay over my prescription glasses, if you wear prescription glasses and need goggles these are the perfect ones for you,(I have a big face) but they might not fit perfect it does the job and could be moved to your liking. also really good for people that don’t wear glasses. 10/10 highly recommend, Extremely great for the price.
