Global Vision Eyewear Rider Safety Glasses

I ordered these glasses after breaking yet another pair of sunglasses. To be honest I ordered these because of the low price and had low expectations, figuring I could use them while working around the house if they looked too bad or fit funny.Turns out I am pleasantly surprised with the good fit and decent looks of these safety sunglasses. There was also no noticeable distortion which I have found to be kind of common in similar type safety / sunglasses. I was also surprised that they were UV 400 (sun protection) and ANSI Z87.1+ (impact protection) rated.As for the negative comments on fit and fogging while wearing a helmet, I've been riding motorcycles for 35 years and don't see where these glasses would be any more prone to helmet interference or fogging than any other sunglasses.Bottom line, I think they are a great value and will most likely order another pair with the darker lenses. Now the real test will be if I can break them playing volleyball, mountain biking, motorcycling, or just dropping them in the shop. If they do break too easily I'll update this review.

I love these glasses! The shape and fit are perfect and the price isn't bad either. I use the for everyday use and also on my motorcycle. I like knowing that my eyes have extra protection because there safety glasses. And the shape/fit really helps keep most of the wind out of your eyes.My one issue with them....they don't last me more then about 6 months before noticing little chips in them. But keeping in mind the price and fit, I still give them 4 stars. If u get them I do recommend getting an extra pair just incase they chip.The extra dark are nice but not much darker then the "flash" ones. Plus I like how reflective the flash ones are. If u want super dark tint I would try different glasses.

First the Pros:VERY DARK LENSESThese are definitely dark sunglasses. They're about twice as dark as an average pair you'd get off the shelf. They offer excellent coverage; no light creeping in from the corner of your eyes, yet don't fog up from lack of ventilation.COMFORTABLEThey are very lightweight and fit my face well. They don't cut into my cheeks or the bridge of my nose like some do.Now the Cons:NOT STYLISHDue to the excellent coverage, the lenses and arms are pretty big. They look oversized, almost like those big sunglasses you see old people wearing over their regular prescription glasses (Remember Bono in the 90s? Yeah, kind of like that).FEEL FRAGILEThey are made of a very thin, hard plastic that is not very flexible like other sunglasses. The lenses are a single rimless, solid piece hinged to the arms, with very little "give" if you try to bend them. They feel brittle, like if you had them in your pocket and just leaned against a wall they would break. I wouldn't suggest just tossing them into a backpack, fanny-pack, or purse.BULKYAs I mentioned, the lenses are a single inflexible piece. Being that these are a wrap-around style, with the arms folded it is still about 2¼" x 5½", and they won't compress further than that.

I bought these glasses for my husband as a Christmas gift . hee never has a pair of glasses last more than a month. It's been over a month and he is still wearing them all day every day.

These have saved my eyeballs from exceedingly bright work environments. I install sheet metal roof panels on commercial applications and my company provide mediocre safety sun glasses. So I prefer to provide my own especially when working with reflective materials like copper or galvanized metals and also when working on a TPO roof. I once bumped these glasses off by mistake on a really bright and sunny day and my retinas burned as if i was staring directly at the sun... or as if turning on the light in the morning. I like these glasses and will be purchasing another once the once i got get all scratched up.

I purchased these for riding motorcycles and mowing grass. Both these activities require safety glasses that fit tightly against the eye area to keep grass, bugs, etc out of your eyeballs. I like the dark shade for riding motorcycle during daylight hours, and the mirrored lens work great for mowing during the day. Both fit my face well. Very pleased

Love them, Love them!! Did I mention that I Love them?I can never find clip ons for my odd shaped glasses and wrap arounds that would fit over my glasses.They not only fit over them, they even look a bit stylish .I use them for nite time glare as well as day time driving.

The glasses are dark, but being a biker that's exactly what you'd want on those very sunny days. My main focus in purchasing these glasses were, did they allow my left/right peripheral vision. The wrap around lens gives superb peripheral vision which is just what's needed when riding a motorcycle. They grip comfortably enough that I don't worry about the wind taking them off, but there are small holes at the end of each arm in case you'd want to attach

these glasses are the dogs doodahs as they fit in between your helmet without leaving grooves in your head when you take off your helmet. their so good i bought 2 pairs and will more very soon. also it doesnt say it but if you buy more than one pair they reduce the postage to £3.00 for the2 pairs. thats the way to do business. very quick too.100% satisfaction when dealing with global vision products and their dealers in the uk.

Purchased because I was suddenly faced with a lot of night driving, some of it dual carriageway, some of it well lit built up areas and some of it unlit country roads.They definitely cut down the glare from oncoming headlights whist maintaining a good vision in all the above circumstances. On unlit roads they will of course slightly reduce the lighting level from your own headlights, but that is only to be expected from anything which effectively puts a filter over your eyes. Once you get used to the reduced lighting level they are fine.They also function well as a sort of sunglasses in the bright, low level autumn sunshine and glare.They are also stylish and I personally found them extremely comfortable. Only minor criticism is that they could do with a visor clip or something to keep them safe and steady in the car when not in use.

Just bought these as a bit of an experiment as I've been getting tires eyes (probably from sitting in front of a pc too much), and wanted to see if low light sunglasses might help i.e. could be used around the house without hampering sight. Been wearing them for a couple of days and no tired eyes, they are pretty comfortable and surprisingly sharp for cheap shades. Only slight criticism is you do get some backward reflection in lower light (darker rooms etc.) that looks like smudges on the lens - but considering the price this is not a big deal and is not a problem outside.

These sunglasses should be "Good" but! I feel they are seconds. They don't quite sit squarely over my nose and I have to keep adjusting them as one lense manages to pull close into my face. The legs appear to be slightly different! and could be the problem.

let me just say as it doesnt say at global vision. postage is £2.50 per item but if you buy 2pairs then its only £3.00 so you do get a shipping discount for multiple orders.that said these glasses are by far the best iv'e ever worn and iv'e had em all inc raybans, polaroids, foster grants and all the rest.perfect fit for down the sides of your crash helmet as they don't leave grooves in you bonce or pains just over your ears.they fit nice and snug over your forehead and best of all less fogging when you come to a standstill or in traffic. i bought 2 sets.the amber night driving/riding as we still need eye wear at night and the amber makes your night view brightermore like daylight.and i also bought the dark tinted ones for the sun, now i know how good they are i will return to buy the clear ones and another pair to save on the postage like the ones with the flames down the arms.whats the worst that can happen if you don't agree with me. you just send them back and say their not for you. but as i am 62 this year and having both rode and owned a motorbike for the last 44years you will know what i mean when i say iv'e tried them all. these glasses are also very good for all types of drivers inc car & HGV of which i am both.derek jackson. whalley range, manchester.
