they fit me perfectly. just like an average pair of sunglasses. they are light, but well built and sturdy.

I picked up a pair of these. They are really good, the difference in seeing is worth the price.

Since eyes are so valuable, I feel the need to state that they need to be protected not only from UV, but also from IR, and from the high intensity, brightness, of HID's. A coupla people seem to think that it's only about UV. Good luck. -granger

thanks for that granger,
i asked this before...
"are 2 types of glasses needed, one for hps and 1 for MH??
or will one pair of glasses work for both types of HID?""

from your post granger it seem like more is needed than just UV, do you know if galasses are available to take care of uv, ir etc etc.

btw,
my son got new glasses and they had a uv option along with the other things like glare resistant, scratch resistant.

so you can easily get your lenses uv protected at any eye store

the gnome,
Yes, check my post and links earlier in this thread. The ones I linked to cover intensity, UV, IR at a reasonable price. They don't do color correction. One of the best measures for scratch protection is to put a lanyard on them, plus it's convenient since I like to take them off and put them on lot. Saves hunt time.

I bought both the $18 pair and the $100 pair. for in the grow room, I can wear my reding glasses under the cheap ones but not the $100 pair, both accomplish the exact same thing. probably the $100 pair is better for continious every day wear outside. the are red blockers, everything seems whiter shades of colors. Kinda makes me feel like a cold winter day.. except it's 80F.. thanks for the thread and all the information. I was useing those welding goggles from harbor freight. they suck in comparison.
