Just crossed the Juneau Icefield with these and they held up well. Fit like a charm (unlike other glacier glasses I've tried). Great value for the price.

Good design- but lenses scratch too easy

Nice glasses and adjustable fit but man do they scratch easy. I bought them less than a month ago and wore them about 15 times. If you do anything but breathe in them be prepared for a scratchy view. I will look to replace them them with something else that is more robust.
Well-made but incomplete coverage

These glasses fit my face well through the temples, but the bottom edge of these glasses does not come down low enough to create full coverage. The side shields are perfect for blocking glare reflected from snow but it still gets in through the gap at the bottom.
