Features

Very nifty
Work great for cutting the grass in the insane Florida sunlight (*Even though I'm not sure how healthy it is for me to use them as sun-glasses). The lenses are removable, so you can change them out if you have your own glass, or want to use the clear plastic that is with the tented lenses. Personally love the look, and would recommend them to anyone who wants a pair of steam punk goggles, with a little work they could look great. Others have mentioned them digging into their head/nose, but I haven't personally experienced any trouble with them.
Ecto,

Exact same as the $8.50 pair
Only difference is the plastic box vs plastic bag they come in...

Fits anyone, durable, decent quality
These even fit my gigantic head. I got them as a costume accessory, they also double as sunglasses for very bright days. What else can I say?

Buy the identical, cheaper alternative instead.
I bought these goggles and US Forge 108 Shaded #5 Economy Cup Brazing Goggles, figuring that one would be better than the other for a passive infrared goggle project. However, what I found was the US Forge goggles 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).

Great goggles!
I'm not a welder, nor do I intend to delve into someone else's realm. I *do*, however, find that these goggles make for some excellent sunglasses! With the straps, instead of legs/arms, they stay on the face much better. The only real downside is the discomfort on the bridge of the nose. Still, the ups much outweigh the downs. Lookin' at gettin' another pair...
