Awesome shades for motorcycle riding!!
What a great pair of glasses and for a great price. I actually bought these for my husband who wasn't happy I purchased them for him because he has a hard time finding glasses that looks decent on him because he has a really large head. He frowned and put them on for a motorcycle ride. When we got back, he was happily surprised at how it stops the wind from getting in his eyes and prevented them from tearing up and just felt more comfortable. Also, they are substantial glasses and looked great on his large head! lol They actually looked good on me too. They don't look at all cheap either for such a great price. I highly recommend these glasses.

A Deal at Twice the Price
Bought two pair of these Birdz Oriole glasses (one in smoke, the other w/clear lenses for night) to use when wearing contacts and my half helmet. These glasses really feel and look to be much nicer than the price suggests; much more sturdy and higher quality than the pair of similarly priced wrap-around sports glasses I was using.They fit my head and face just fine, and they do a good job of keeping wind out of my eyes under any sane riding conditions. Important to me is that the temples are thin enough so that they don't press uncomfortably against my skull under helmet pressure, so I can wear them comfortably for miles and miles. I do treat these as special purpose glasses though -- the frames and padding are a bit too heavy for just walking around in.Note: the smoke lenses are really dark - not a complaint, just a fact (great when sunny but just OK when overcast and impossible at dusk; thus the clear pair). But, all that said, for the money these are a no brainer. From a value perspective, I give them 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, and 1 hearty slap on the back. At less than a good burger and beer you owe it to yourself to try out a pair.

Better than some, not perfect.
They fit a bit small. That can be a plus or minus depending. I was hoping to have them snug enough to make sure the wind and dust stayed out but they are boarding too snug.For the price, they are pretty quality though. The foam is nice closed cell and not the cheap open cell stuff so the water doesn't soak in. They have a nice anti-fog ability. The screws tend to back out and, if you're not paying attention, can fall out completely. I just screw them back in and set them with superglue.Overall, they're good. I have been searching for a pair since my $19 polarized swap meet specials wore out. These work, but I'm still looking for others.

Excellent purchase
Although I have not had these for a long time, I couldn't be happier with this product. The glasses block most of the wind while I ride my motorcycle, and the tint level is perfect. The rubberish padding around the lenses are much more durable than the foam padding of the previous motorcycle glasses that I had used for years. The glasses are just the right side, not too wide or too narrow, and I can easily wear my full-mask riding helmet over these glasses. Also, the price is just right ($12 at time of purchase)...You will definitely get your value out of these and your eyes will appreciate it!

riding glasses
Decent, not great but cheap, so if they fly off you're not out a bunch of money. Somehow bugs get sucked right through the small gaps at the top of the foam. It happens every time, multiple times during the short ride and I have to take them off to get the bug out. Very annoying and distracting, and potentially dangerous.

Keeps the desert dust out of my eyes for the most part.
I work out in the desert of SE NM. The spring winds can be difficult, and normal wrap-around sunglasses aren't enough to keep the fine sand out of my eyes (I have contact lenses). These work much better... let's say about 98% dust protection.Also, they did not fog up while walking in 90 degree F weather. Probably helped by the desert dry air, but they must be efficiently vented.They are also very solid, but fairly comfortable.Finally, I was sent the clear lenses, not the smoked ones, but Amazon refunded my money. I just ordered another pair, let's hope the smoked ones show up this time.

Decent quality for the price, but didn't work well for me.
I think your face/head shape is what this comes down to. I used these for riding my motorcycle to keep wind and dust out of my eyes. These happened to channel wind right into the inside corners of my eyes. Fortunately it was no issue to return with Prime.

By far the best riding glasses for the price!
Incredible glasses...there's too much to describe. For having a larger head size and wider face, it fits absolutely perfect. The quality seems to fairly good in manufacturing, considering many cheap riding glasses/goggles are made with that cheap foam which absorbs water. These are made with the higher quality foam which doesn't soak in when I sweat. They're not too large or small, comparable to the old oakleys from the 90's. I highly recommend these to anyone who's looking for a cheap pair that's great quality for the price!
