Hobart 770096 Welding Oxy-Acetylene Goggle - 50mm Eye Cup

I’ve been using them to observe thermite reactions and I can safely look directly at my experiments without any danger or discomfort, plan to recommend these for my colleagues for durability and protection

I am not a welder, but my occupation does require me to wear eye protection from heat and loose debris. I was looking for something less conservative than the usual safety goggles and this product is just what I wanted. Not only will I be able to wear them at work, but I can throw them on for costume parties and other outdoor activities where I might need eye protection from the sun.Product has an elastic head band that might break with little wear. The bridge band that joins the two eye coverings is adjustable via a beaded chain. I recommend taking your time and adjusting the bridge band for a comfortable fit. I wore it as it came and ended up with a bit of a headache due to excessive pressure on the bridge of my nose (bad idea). Each eye of the goggle assemblies has an adjustable valve for moisture ventilation which is very useful in preventing lenses from fogging when working and sweating.I was satisfied with this product, but in a practical capacity for which the product was designed: welding. I am unable to comment.

I found these goggles when looking for a pair to modify for steampunk cosplay. They were inexpensive and seemed easy to work with. They came with 2 sets of lenses, one clear and one dark welding set. The strap is black elastic with a blue design over it. It was easy to remove and replace with leather. The pieces are all easy to take apart and put back together which makes painting them a snap. The covers of the air vents are also removable so I was able to paint them and decorate them as well. I find them to be comfortable enough, the area around the nose is all hard plastic but unless you have them on super tight it's no worse than wearing plastic sunglasses. The goggles are held together at the nose by a ball chain. It's quite long for me, so I found the sweet spot and trimmed the excess for fear of poking my eye out :)For anyone interested here's how they came out with just a few slight moderations : [...]

Admittedly, I don't do too much welding or brazing anymore, but I thought it would be nice to have my own safety equipment and I was familiar with this very versatile and adaptable design. The core product that you are getting is the heat resistant, moulded eye-cup frame. Each eyecup has it's own side air vents. Everything else (elastic strap, nose bridge chain, lenses) are all replaceable and changeable.Therein lies the main strength of this particular set of goggles. Adaptability. The lenses are exactly 50mm diameter circles and with a twist of the threads can be removed, replaced, upgraded or adapted to different applications.My mods include impact resistant contrast intensifying yellow Lexan safety/shooting glasses, purple tint glacier sunglasses, and anti-laser/coherent light scattering safety goggles, plus the original oxy-acetylene welding goggles and clear wind/dust screen goggles all ready to interchange as needed. Easy to make or order 50mm circles. I have changed the strap also to a nicer, wider non-slip military strap. Since durability was a more important characteristic than flame resistance for me, I replaced the chain nose bridge piece with knotted paracord webbing (but with a plastic sleeve still). And everything (the folded stacked goggles and extra lenses) fits into this small cylindrical leather case, which might have originally been made for a telescope (?).Further mods to make it look more steampunk can easily be made as the frame can readily be drilled through and accessories bolted or glued on. It can be painted a metallic colour (like brass), weathered, and/or the strap changed to a plain rubber or leather/elastic. It looks authentically industrial revolution because it is an implement of industry.Fashion aside, I am happy with the simple utility of this inexpensive set of goggles.

I purchased these goggles for a costume, but I tried them on as if I was going to wear them and they are very uncomfortable on your face.The section that rests on your eyes is made from a hard plastic that puts a lot of pressure on your face. The cord that goes around your head feels cheap and does not always stay where you put it.The lenses however are very very dark and might actually provide protection while welding. I could not imagine wearing them for a long project though.In the end, if you just need them for a costume where you plan to wear them on your head, they are fine. If you plan to wear them over your eyes, look elsewhere.

I got these goggles on sale for about 7 or 8 bucks and they are completely worth it. I think everyone knows what goggles are so I'll outline what I think is different about these goggles than others.First they are made of hard plastic all around. I've seen some that are made of like a flimsy rubber plastic and these are much more durable.Second, these goggles have a vent on the side of each eye piece that allow for ventilation and greatly reduce if not eliminate all together the goggles fogging up during use.Third, there are two sets of lenses. A set of thin clear plastic lenses over thicker glass lenses which provide the tinting for welding and cutting. If you are going to use these for general purpose shop work, then I suggest you manufacture your own clear lenses out of lexan or something similar, as the clear lenses it comes with won't protect your eyes from any sizable flying debris.Overall I'm very satisfied with them!

They work great! Fit snug, tint it perfect, and would buy another pair for sure

These goggles worked perfectly for my cosplay the black frames are glass and fog up easily but the clear frames are hard plastic and don’t fog up easily they are better than the other brands I’ve bought before
