Goggles!
I use them for steam punk costuming and they're awesome. Plus on sunny days they make decent sunglasses =)

Identical to Hobart goggles but cheaper
I bought these goggles and Hobart 770096 Welding Oxy-Acetylene Goggle - 50mm Eye Cup, figuring that one would be better than the other for a passive infrared goggle project. However, what I found was the both pairs were identical in every way -- right down to the markings from the injection molding machine and the blue stripes in the elastic band. The only difference is that the Hobart goggles come with more packaging (a hard plastic box) while the US Forge goggles come in a sealed printed plastic bag.

As goggles go, they are perfectly usable although not overly comfortable. The eye-to-eye spacing is adjustable with a beaded chain (if you shorten it, cut the tails so you don't bonk yourself in the eye like I did).

For a lark, or a costume party, or to drive your grand kids crazy when they see you with them on. I use them when plowing snow on my tractor, these, along with a Mad bomber style hat,(you know, like the Russian hats with the big fur ear flaps) Your whole family will disown you. No one bother you the whole time your plowing, making the job much easier. I really like mine, great sun glasses for snow blindness, adjustable, inexpensive,fun,I'd buy another pair if anything ever were to happen to these. The look on peoples faces when they see you with these on is priceless.

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.
