If Bono were a carpenter these would be the glasses he would wear on the job.
I picked these up when I was a couple dollars short on meeting the requirements for free shipping when shopping for some Visegrips. I had been looking at these glasses for awhile, but somehow always forgetting to buy them, so I made a point to remember them the next time I needed something cheap to meet the quota.
What caught my attention with these glasses was that they could be effective both indoors and out, and they do live up to the billing, except maybe in very exteme cases of brightness or darkness. Before getting these I usually had several sets of clear shooting style glasses laying around the house, along with chemical splash goggles, they are great for indoor work and real dusty situations, where I dislike having to wear them is outside on a roof, yard,etc during the summertime when I need sun protection.
I often do a lot of work outside and keep my tools inside, I constantly had found myself taking my shades off, then putting my goggles on when going inside the garage to find something, make a cut, etc, the end result was me always forgetting where I put my shades ,losing my safety glasses, and losing productivity
Now I just wear these things. The lens provide a good amount of sun protection and can be worn inside under normal to slightly low light conditions , allowing the wearer plenty of light to see for work.
The frames themselves are very comfortable, they are made out of a somewhat bendable plastic material with flexible rubber tips. Th nose piece is also rubber which is both comfortable, and prevents the glasses from slipping.
Despite the name and the slot vents on the side of these glasses, there are no vents,but there does seem to be sufficient enough air circulation. They have only fogged up on me while using them in conjunction with a dustmask.
These glasses provide good eye protection in all areas, with the exception of real dusty work, which I recommend switching over to face hugging goggles.These Dewalts are best suited for general work where someone is in often contrasting lighted areas. A Bonus is these glasses dont look that bad either, they could pass in most cases as regular shades.
