You need To Check this Neiko 53849A Flip Up Approved Comfort Fit
I purchased these goggles because I wanted something I could wear for my Halloween costume (the Engineer from TF2) and still have for when I wanted to do some oxy-acetylene work. They were a real hit among part ygoers, and they fit really well over my eyeglasses. The flip-up lenses were also really handy for bumbling around in the dark.
My two very minor complaints:
1. The strap has a tendency to pull out of its supports when it's under tension, but I got around that by sizing it to my head and then pinning it in place. Not really a big deal, but it's a bit of a pain to put the straps back in.
2. The goggles have a tendency to fog up. I wasn't really expecting much in the way of ventilation for a $5 pair of welding goggles (looks like Amazon overstocked on Halloween because they're down to $2.50 a pair now) but it did affect my ability to wear them for a long period of time.

It got here super fast, and i am very Happy with how it turned it!!!! It seems like it will be long lasting, and they are comfortable to wear.
ReplyDeleteWe ordered these goggles for my son for his Dr. Horrible costume. They are absolutly perfect for this. We were worried that they might not fit his little head but they were easily adjustable and now they stay firmly in place. They do leave a bit of a mark but I think that is to be expected. They shipped and arrived on time and I bought them for around only $9; good deal.
ReplyDeleteI bought these to replace a full hood for periodic welding tasks, and I'm extremely pleased with them overall. I paid less than $10 with shipping, they were to me in a reasonable time, and they were pretty much exactly as described.
ReplyDeletePros: The flip-up outer lenses are extremely handy, much easier than my full hood. The lenses are mounted behind a simple retaining ring that required no special tools to remove, thus allowing me to swap out with other lenses of the appropriate size.
Cons: The clear inner lenses are cheap plastic and have an odd bevel along the edge that distorts your view.
I simply removed the inner elements. I'll be replacing them at some point with the glass from a pair of UV photography filters (such as Tiffen 52mm UV Protection Filter), since impact resistance is not a requirement. I haven't measured yet, but the lenses appear to be approximately 52mm.
In my opinion the price is definitely right on these goggles, and I surely recommend them.

OK...so they aren't silver. But they are cheap and the looked good during the Halloween charity screening of Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.
ReplyDeleteThese are great for not only my halloween costume, but my husband is able to use the for real when he welds!!!
ReplyDeleteI bought it for my son's doctor Horrible costume. They fit well. The price is cheaper than other doctor Horrible glasses.
ReplyDeleteWonderful goggles, just perfect for welding and grinding with the flip up front! The plastic molding is a bit hard, but for the price it can't be beat! Just what was advertised

ReplyDeleteThis is not a welding review! I bought these for a Dr. Horrible costume and they are perfect. They fit my hed well and the straps are super adjustable. The hinge doesn't feel flimsy and the overall shape is nearly identical to the ones worn on-screen. It does need to be painted silver of course and it is missing the third vent, but I am not terribly obsessed with accuracy so it's not a huge issue. Great costume piece!
