Summary
Comfortable, easy to use, with shaded lens for adequate protection when gas welding. Most often used for short-run, small jobs.
Features
Faulty bridgepiece
This was bought as a costume piece. It arrived very quickly, in just a few business days, in adequate packaging. The goggles contain two set of lenses, a clear set and a shaded set, which can be easily removed and replaced.
The only problem is that the bridgepiece (the part that connects the two halves just above the nose) consists of a string of metal beads (sorry, I'm not sure of the correct term) that thread through a hole on each side of the two halves, connecting them, and through the small black tube shown in the picture. This string does NOT hold. The goggles will sit on your face or head just fine, but the slightest stretching (for example, when you're pulling the goggles off or putting them on) will pull the metal beads out of the holes on the sides of the goggles, breaking the connection between the two halves. It requires needlenose pliers to fix and you have to take a lot of care when putting the goggles on and taking them off so as not to tug on the string of metal beads at all, otherwise the goggles will break again.
As a costume piece that will only be worn a few times, it is a mild annoyance. If you were actually planning on using this for welding or any sort of work- or hobby-related activity, I would imagine that this would get old very fast.

screw those stupid ravers!
This product works fine a little fogging of the lenses occurs in the winter if working outdoors or in a cold shop. ( I saying working since ravers who buy these for there stupid drug parties have no real purpose for them other than the probably are to sensitive to smoke, how ironic) but yes they work accetlyn or propane torches alike.

Great buy for TF2 engineers!
The goggles are perfect for work (i'm a hobby welder) but also for those who are looking for those goggles for Team Fortress 2 engineer cosplay. Must get! Great price too!
(thought it's a big greenish but some paint can cure that. But it's function as welding goggles...no question about it.

Fun for costumes.
These have a fun steampunk look. Highly recommended as a cheap costume accessory. I replaced the lenses with crazy custom lenses from etsy to take it to the max.

Costume Component
I can't review these goggles for their intended use, but for costume use, they were perfect! Inexpensive, replaceable lenses, and adjustable band, I used them for an Engineer costume from Team Fortress 2.
