    I've been using these safety glasses for a couple of years in temperate-climate conditions (~20ºF to 105ºF ambieses and offer excellent impact resistance. (Much better than the ANSI Z87+ rating of most safety & sh

    Additional comments:
    s to ground. In an extreme impact event (like a car accident or fall from height,) probably better to be wearing plastic-framed glasses than metal as the plastic is more likely to distintegrate into smaller fragments that penetrate less deeply into the face, temple, & skull.

    The number of safety glasses I accidentally bring home from work... There's no shortage when it comes time to mow the lawn. By the time one fogs, grab another pair. :cookiemonster:

    Actually, work mandated that I get a set of prescription convertibles. Wildest glasses I own. Can be worn as traditional over-ear glasses (for indoor lab work) or can be worn as full gasket, headband style goggles (for the mine or plant). I'm not allowed to lose those.

    Being someone who is completely blind in one eye and has Mil Spec safety glasses, with all the highest ratings as mentioned. I wonder how they accomplished it for that price. That tells me they’re saying that can meet those ratings for for about $1.50-$3.00 landed to retail at the said price. Not sure if I’m willing to take the chance.

    I gotta say, I unsarcastically love a good pair of safety glasses. Thanks for the in-depth review, and data!

    Follow up report: I used these halibut fishing last week, the grey during the sunny periods, and amber during the rainy periods and the one night trip. I'm very pleased. My buddy's wife borrowed the grey pair when she went fishing and had no complaints. They are as advertised and recommended by the Op.
    This is what I ordered from Amazon:
