Black - Military GI Style Sun-Wind-Dust Goggles

First off, these are real NSN-numbered mil-spec goggles. These are the same ones I used when in the Marines. I have two of them now (one for my wife, one for me) to use outdoors (you have to live in the Desert Southwest to understand why you need these if you are out in the 'sand'.)That said, I have bought a dozen goggles - from DeWalt construction types, to RZ ATV sport goggles, and even tried dive masks. Nothing, NOTHING out performs these goggles. Here's why:These goggles are made of very soft rubber. The lenses are a polycarbonate piece that can be removed and replaced. The box comes with the clear lens AND a sunshade lens. You change them by unsnapping two buttons and swapping them in less than a minute. The head-size is adjusted by a simple bunji-type strap (like you find on dive goggles), just put them on your head, and adjust to size. They will fit anyone from a hat-size of 6 up to 8+.As for why they are so great? They have a foam-rubber seal that circles the mask, and vent-holes to prevent fogging that still filter through the 'foam' interior strip. You might feel wind, but you don't get dust in your eyes! I've used them in 100-mph straight-line winds with sandstorms towering 2-miles above the surface - and they work. PERIOD! You can't say anything better about good gear, than it is comfortable to wear, doesn't negatively affect your eyesight range, and that THEY WORK.As for some who say 'the seal leaks', I say 'tighten the straps, you don't understand how to fit a pair of goggles correctly'. People, this isn't casual eye wear. You have to fit them properly for them to work properly. I guess it takes fitting a military gas mask to ensure a proper seal on your face, to understand how to get a seal on protective wear. You aren't slumming on the block when you wear these, you are protecting your eyes. This does NOT mean you have to cinch them down until blood stops flowing, to ensure a good seal, but you can't just throw them on 'with nary a contact point' and expect them to seal, either.As for head-and-face shape and size, related to fitting? They are highly flexible for narrow faces (like smaller people - hey, even my wife has) and for those with larger or broader faces (I wear a 7-3/4 hat size - and they fit me fine too). They are relatively flat when you get them, only a small curve - you get face-fit by fitting them to your head with the retaining strap. The thing that takes the longest to fit these initially, is getting your strap right. Once you have fitted them, you won't have to do it again, the strap is an elastic that will let you stretch it a bit, to take them off without further adjustment.I have had 6-pairs of these over the years. I have NEVER had a bad pair of them, they always fit, they always seal. The lenses are polycarbonate, and can be scratched. That said, they also come with a protective film over them. I recommend leaving it if it has no air bubbles in it. Personally, I have used a single sheet of Saran Wrap over the outer side of the lens before installing it into the rubber frame, to protect the polycarbonate (a lot cheaper to replace Saran Wrap cover, than to replace the lenses). Think of it as 'not convenient tear-offs that don't tear off'.They may look 'uncool', they may not be all chromed out or stylish, but I wouldn't take anything for my dust goggles. Then again, I'd rather use a white 3M N95 respirator mask (for $1 each) and a bandana to cover it, than to pay $20 or more for a pretty toy mask that you constantly have to replace filters on, because it's cool with its little camouflage paint job, too.In the real world, function trumps 'pretty', anyday.

These were purchased for Burning Man with dust storms in mind. I purchased a number of goggles and most came with “air vents” making them useless in dust storms. These were AMAZING! I loved the lenses that were easy to swap out and made them my go to for both day and nighttime use. Great quality and was able to withstand the elements and keep on going. Can’t reccomend these enough!

Thought they'd be like what I wore on the flight deck but the workmanship was even worse. I tried to remove the lens to take off the membranes and was afraid the snaps would break, they were so difficult to unfasten. One did break. They barely fit over glasses but may be good enough. I'll find out.

These are basically the same as the ones I used in the Army. The soft foam around the eyes allows me to use them over prescription glasses so they are very economical compared to expensive prescription goggles that end up being pitted and split from dry conditions and excessive heat. Used this type of goggles in Sinai Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iraq...3 times.

Perfect Burning Man goggles. I worked through heavy dust and wind for two weeks on the playa. With normal sunglasses, my eyes were dry from the wind and painfully gritty with dust. The goggles don't provide perfect protection against dust – there are little air holes to let humidity escape and sometimes fine dust makes its way inside – but they still do a great job...enough so that I could ride open-air vehicles at 20+ mph into dust storms without a problem.The only fogging problems I ever had were when I worked with a respirator that redirected my breath up into the goggles, but a bit of adjustment usually fixed that. Then again, Black Rock is avg 2% humidity, so there's not much moisture to fog up anything. Maybe you'll have problems in high-humidity environments.It comes with one clear and one tinted plastic lens. It's a bit of a hassle to change the lenses though, so don't expect to do it quickly. I have two of these goggles and on one the two plastic snaps that hold the lenses in place are fairly easy to pop off and back on, but on the other it's difficult without applying force with a pair of plyers (I have the grip strength of a rock climber and even I had trouble getting them to close with my bare hands).Overall, fantastic goggles with some quirks, but more than satisfactory at this price point.
