These are the first pair of goggles I've worn, but have done a fair bit of research. I'm a contact wearer, and was looking for something I could wear during the warm spring/summer/early fall rides. I have a full face helmet for cold weather but could never find sunglasses that would protect my eyes from drying out when using my half helmet. These fit the bill perfect. It's amazing what these do. Haven't had them fog up at all on me.
My son does find them uncomfortable (he has a bigger head) -- and I can see how they might not work depending on your specific face. Surely worth a shot, I love em!
I loved these goggles but after using them for a few months, the foam which blocks the wind is beginning to detach. It is not held to the frame by mechanical means but by glue. I really do not know if I could replace the foam or not. If not, this design flaw makes this product prematurely useless despite the rest of the product still just fine.
While these goggles are relatively inexpensive I don't buy products to toss them on a trash heap after using them a few months. It would be an improvement if one could easily replace just the foam!
I bought the "bug eye" goggles from Bobster and they're OK, but I like these MUCH better. They're more proportional to my face, more compact and portable when you're not wearing them and I think give a better seal against the wind. The case and cleaning wipe are a super nice touch too. I ride an ElectraGlide with a fairing and super short windshield, so I can't say how they'd perform in a straight wind, but for my purposes, they're perfect. I wear contacts and these provide much better wind protection than the foamed back sunglasses I used to wear. I liked them so much, I just ordered a clear pair for night riding to replace my birdzeyes.
They do take a little getting used to since they sit inside the eye socket (kind of like swimming goggles) and they fold in the middle which I could see bothering some folks. Think of them like in-ear headphones vs. over the ear headphones. If you like the "over the ear" style, you'll probably like the Bug-eyes better. My good looking chiseled and fully proportional facial features just don't quite have the surface area that those require to look normal, but if you have a massive head and freakishly large face (or if you just like the feeling of goggles that sit on the outside of your eye socket and don't fold in the middle), go for the Bug-eyes. Otherwise, get these any you'll likely be quite pleased, I am.
Enjoy the Ride!
I don't write many reviews, only when I feel like I received a real value. Goggles fit well and I have a larger size head, but do have the strap all way out. Comes with a cool, useful case and are comfortable to wear. They are small but that was what I was wanting. Just real good value.
They fit me poorly and I am usually an easy fit. Good quality and god price. I don't much care for the nice small case that they come in but it is a pain to fit them back into. I returned them and I suspect that I might have returned them even if they fit me. Hope they work better for you but there are other options.

Seems to be well made. However the fit was not optimal for a larger head or wider face. Not really the fault of the product though. Just had to try them and see. I had to return them due to the misfit. Amazon return policy makes try and return an easy process.
I have a 12 year old athlete who gets migraines due to sunlight. Due to safety regulations she can not wear regular sunglasses on the sporting field in some of her new sports this year. These are perfect for that, will keep her from getting migraines and keep her face safe from I jury and others as well. The adjustable strap was easy to fit to her smaller size head making this a winning purchase for us. Thank you so much.
I bought these goggles for mowing the grass because I recently had Lasik and wanted to protect my eyes from flying debris, dirt, dust, insects, tree branches, weeds, and grass while mowing. I'm probably one of the few people who has a machete strapped to their lawnmower. Yes, it's that bad. But these goggles are great! They fog up if I hold still and there's no wind, but any little breeze and they clear right up. So when I'm riding the mower, the air movement is enough to keep them fog free!!! I've had no problems with debris at all, and the sun protection is great too. Now if only they'd help me with those horseflies I'd have it made.
So if your yard looks like something out of a jungle movie, these goggles could well be for you.
I have used many glasses and goggles but this one is the best. It stays firmly, doesn't vibrate like glasses, very comfortable for long rides. Comes with a nice small case.
Not enough foam padding. Plastic rim digs into my face. I have to loosen the strap to the point that is no longer windproof.
