They can be lengthened/shortened, and they can be tilted up or down.
They are affordable!
There is no opaque plastic frame that obscures my vision, the entire front is transparent! I so love that feature.
My dentist uses these for patients to wear while in the chair, and under that glaring light. She says they hold up well, and do not easily scratch.
I am so tired of paying $40 for sunglasses that fit over my prescription glasses. These are working well when I am driving. Photosensitive lenses do not darken when the sun is coming through windshields, so I always need something handy in the car.
I will likely buy more since I tend to misplace sunglasses.
It is adjustable but not the best adjusting system it loosen after a few times of putting on and off, so I have to readjust. I bought this on sale while was the cheapest over the glass option and still happy with it. Easy to clean while there are minor scratches after rough using and cleaning, nothing major.
Nothing ever hits this so I can upload one of those cool pictures of a half broken blade stuck and I am deeply appreciative it hasn't happened.
For those of you that don't know, cleaning brick with a power washer is not hard, it's just boring and really messy. If you hit the cracks head on, you may break the seal or if you hit a crack where the concrete has already deteriorated, you will send stuff flying up at your face. your head will be mostly pointed down intently watching the grime being washed away, so every time this happens, you will get a faceful of junk and loose particles of concrete and brick. These things saved my eyes multiple times.
They stayed clear and did not fog up like goggles tend to, although not as airtight, the ridges surrounding give more than adequate protection.
They stayed in my face while I constantly had my face tilted down.
They fold for easy storage on the tray on top of my toolbox reminding me to think about whether or not I should put these on every time I grab a tool.
BTW for those of you who are wondering, you can easily full the cracks/dramas back in with pavers sand to have the brick looking brand new.

Specifically for people who are searching for safety goggles for a biology lab such as chemistry, I wouldn't recommend these. Mostly because they do not universally fit on everyone (even with the added adjustments), which means that they can provide you with gap openings around the eyes (which is not good for lab uses, particularly when dealing with chemicals). That being said, make sure to check the size of the product to see if they will actually properly fit your face with no gap openings. Another reason is because the company label actually explains that it's not suitable for lab settings since exposure to certain lab materials can cause surface cracks and reduce impact resistance, and/or cause distortion. (It would've helpful if the company actually stated this on their page before purchasing.)
On the bright side, these glasses are pretty strong, scratch resistant, and light weight. They are ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 compliant. They also come with the Prop 65 warning label, and fit most types of prescription glasses.
Bottom line, they do the job for general usage, but for biology/chemistry folks, it's best to search elsewhere since they are NOT actual lab goggles.
