Not only is this pair of protective shades one of the most highly rated for impact resistance, their comfortable fit, premium optical clarity and rugged design will inspire you to wear them even when the gun remains in the safe. Whether you’re at the range or on duty, there is no shortage of debris that can blow into your eyes when the bullets start flying. The Venture Gear Tactical Overwatch glasses are built for the battlefield, providing the durable eye protection needed to get the job done. The Overwatch’s lightweight frame is made of rugged ballistic nylon while its lenses are constructed with anti-fog, scratch-resistant polycarbonate. This provides 99 percent UVA, UVB and UVC protection from the sun. The lenses also protect wearers from items that are a little more aggressive, meeting not only ANSI Z87.1 standards, but also surpassing ballistic MIL-PRF-32432 high velocity impact standards. This means they have been shot at, dropped and hit without breaking, to the satisfaction of the U.S. military. Simply put, your eyes couldn’t be safer. In addition to safety, comfort was a main design goal as the Overwatch frames were being developed. To achieve ultimate comfort, Pyramex designed a soft rubber nosepiece and rubber temple tips into the frames. The soft nosepiece ensures that the glasses will not slip, no matter what position you find yourself shooting from. The rubber temple tips not only provide a sure grip on the temple, but also gently hug the frames to your face, providing all-day comfort.

low cost and very good...and exceptionally durable
I like these. They were a low cost with the safety ratings and style I wanted. Not sure about the anti-fog lens...condensation forms on anything - these are no exception. I would say the extra wide arm, helping to create a more protected area around your eyes, also prevents air movement and has at times encouraged fogging. I still like them though.They have spent many hot days baking on the dash of my truck in direct sun and have not deformed or had any of the soft rubberized material become become gummy. They have been very durable and would buy them again.**UPDATE -12/31/2020** After 2.5 years (3 summers), all of the original comments hold true - especially their materials durability after being on my truck dash. If they are not on my face, these stay on the dash of my Ram 2500. It get hot in this location during the summer, yet the materials used on these sunglasses have held up. No deformation or deterioration of the soft rubberized pieces.There are now a few lens scratches, so I will be buying another pair of these.

Good for the price, lasts 3-6 months.
They look good and feel good. I’ve had 4 pair now, they all last 3-6 months before the hinge breaks. I’d gladly pay $5 more for a beefier hinge, seems like soft metal. I’ve had some minor scratches that can be annoying but haven’t left the glasses un-usable at all before the hinge breaks. Generally small scratches buff out fine. If they last closer to 6 months, the rubber around the ear will start to crumble. For $20 just get two and if you lose or break one, switch to the other and buy another pair. I use them a lot so if you don’t use them much they may last longer than a year.

Incredible value for a great product
I don’t write many reviews but I had to write one about these glasses. I lost a pair I’d purchased from Sheetz that were shatter-proof. I work in landscaping and can be pretty tough on glasses. I found these and the price was amazing! I got them super quick and I absolutely love them.I have a regular sized head about a 7” in fitted hats. These are very snug but not uncomfortable. The rubber sides make them slip resistant if I get sweaty. Lenses are excellent. I’m usually an Oakley or Dragon guy but these are incredibly valuable. I am not doing any stung trimming yet but the shape of the frame should do a good job of protection.If you’re looking for a good piece of eyewear at an incredible price that provides certified protection, this is your product! I will buy another pair soon.

Initial thoughts out of the package. Updated
Update 23 Sep 2019I purchased a second set. Overall I was very satisfied with the safety glasses. They look great and feel good on your face. My last pair I scratched the lenses while working under my truck. I put them on top of my head then smacked them into the transmission housing no scratches on my head though. I kept wearing them though until I was getting out of the back of a van and tripped face first into the back of a hard plastic seat. My eyes were saved my face a little marked up but worse the hinge on the glasses broke. Just a clumsy fall and they took the brunt of it. So, I just got around to replacing them and for the price, style, and color I wanted them same thing. The plastic is resilient, the hinges seem to be the weakest point.Quick rating: 1-10 (worst-best)Out of the box - overall: 7Quality: 6 update - 7Value: 8 update - 9Style: 7 update - 8Comfort: 8Tint: 6 update - 7Safety(opinion only): 7My star rating is based off of purchase experience, overall thoughts on value, features, and happiness with the product.Detailed review:I purchased these sunglasses to eventually replace a pair of cheap sunglasses I picked up over a year ago. I liked the style and color options available and the safety specs. The price was appealing as well. I have a habit of losing my expensive name brand sunglasses it seems and the cheap ones stick around somehow. These seemed to emulate what I am looking for in a higher quality pair without the hefty price tag.Upon opening the box they come packaged in a sturdy clear clamshell blister pack. It is easy to open no knife or scissors needed. The glasses were in perfect condition with no scratches. Included is a soft bag that will also work to clean your lenses.The frames are flexible but not a soft plastic so not sure they would survive you sitting on them by accident just yet, give me a week and I may be able to confirm or deny. All the edges seem rounded and without any places that might irritate or scratch your face. The arms swing open smoothly with a bit of pressure and stay in place. Would like to see subdued hinges but that's just a personal preference. Hinges are metal and should be durable. Lenses are sturdy in the frame. A rubberized coating on the nose and arms should help keep them in place on your face.On my face they feel comfortable and snug enough not to fall off during most activity. I will try them on a run and bike ride to see if those thoughts change. Lenses have good clarity and the amber tint should do well on all but the brightest days.So far I like the way they look and feel. I generally need to be closer to the medium/large size as small frames dont fit the width of my face well. I will try these out over the next week or two and conclude my thoughts on comfort and fit. I will also follow up if I feel there are issues with durability.So far these are a good purchase and I would recommend them to a friend. I will deffinitly be trying other models of sunglasses from them.

Excellent sunglasses so far
I've had these for a couple of months now and they are great. Originally I bought them thinking I would wear them to the shooting range but I liked them so much that they replaced the sunglasses that I was wearing daily. They fit good, are comfortable and offer good eye protection. The only concern that I had was that the hinges looked a little cheap but so far they are holding up well and I've been very impressed for the price.
