Customer Reviews
No Sweat!Fogging has been only a minor problem with my eyewear. But sweat covering them has been a problem. Out of at least 6 other types, this is the only one that I don't have to continually clean off while playing. I have used these for over 7 years. Each pair is great and equal to any other type in all aspects.

Comments: On my second pair... first pair lasted me for over 3 years before nose piece cracked and fell off. Best eyewear in the game... look no further, worth the $

Comments: I broke my first pair (hinge) pulling them off while wearing a headband. Squeezing the arm between my ear and the headband too aggressively cost me. Bought 2 more pair after that and have had them about 2 years with no issue. Almost zero fog, easy to clean and no distortion.

Comments: These are great! And tested by me! I have been hit in the googles several times. The pad around the brow has kept me from getting any injuries/cuts. The googles did not break and saved my eyes!!! And no sweat in the eyes. I don't even know they are on my face. Highly recommended.

Comments: I have played RB for 32 years but never been hit directly in the eye. I have paid a much higher price than the strobes cost but never a better pair. I was hit so hard in the left eyewear that it sounded like a shotgun discharging. People outside the court heard it, knocked off my eyewear, but did not shatter. I only received a small cut where the force drove the eyewear into my face. Next day, no soreness. Great product.

Comments: I really love them! The only thing I don't like is that mine broke (the hinge) but that's why I'm buying some more! They never fog and they're very comfortable!

Comments: A comfortable pair of glasses. Never fogged up but the plastic is very weak. Broke two times in a couple of months.

Comments: Great design; No fog; no problems with the hinges; did, however, use an ammonia free glass cleaner on them and ruined them...looks like it chemically burned the surface.
