Under what conditions have you broken one of these glasses? Or what kind of abuse have they survived?

I've never broken one in twenty years. But, I don't have kids, so they don't get thrown around. Like anything, I'm sure they'd break if you're rough with them.

I use them at our summer house where they take a lot of wear. We have a ful set and they have become our everyday glasses. However, they have clouded. A relative bought similar glasses at KMART at a much lower price that wear just as well. In summary, they are fine sturdy everyday glasses.

I have 12 of them in various sizes, and only one has cracked when it was dropped. I love to use the lids on the mid sized one for coffee.

I love these glasses for hot or cold beverages. Never broke one. They can get a little cloudy from the dishwasher but they still work great.

I put them in the microwave quite regularly and nothing has happened to them. I like drinking warm water sometimes; so I microwave a glass of water for a minute or two. These glasses are super sturdy.

I have had them for about a year. I hand wash them and have had no issues. They have a slightly ruff fell but are very attractive. I got a set smoked colored glasses with them. Very nice set.

I use it for work, for online meetings, which can sometimes run for hours. I also use them in training sessions, which can last hours. I wear glasses and haven't had any issue with them.

They are not easily broken, but everything will bread if handled by rough hands. My grandson is autistic and has not broken them yet.

I think these glasses are very sturdy. I have not had any issues with breakage. I have a friend who uses the same glasses in their pub and they are also pleased with these glasses.

They work well indoors/outdoors. My sister has had hers outside for over a year and the color/glass look the same as the day they arrived at her door. They are fragile so handle with care. I will not hesitate to buy another set.

No - I have had mine for a few months now and haven't broken any. Use it fairly hard for coffee and drinks. Have also run it through the dishwasher.

So far I have had no problem but with all blown glass there can be issues so use care.....I really like my set and they are sturdier than they feel. As long as you set them down on a padded surface or a napkin.

glass. and they are very fragile. I bought 4 as Christmas gifts and there is only 1 surviving as of today. I would not recommend these for small children.

They are dishwasher safe, and not particularly fragile, although they CAN crack. Over 5+ years of use and dishwashing they will become less clear and somewhat more fragile. But I made my recent purchase because I finally found where to get new ones just like the ones that were finally worn out. I think I've had three "crops" in the last 30+ years. I've broken at least five sets of glass tumblers in the same period. Definitely good value for the money.

These safety glasses are durable but they can be scratched. Scratches can be minimized by careful handling, storage, and cleaning. Dust and debris can be abrasive. When cleaning rinse thoroughly with water before cleaning. I use warm water and a mild dish soap. Rinse then dry with a cotton dish towel. Do not use paper towels or other cloth that could be abrasive. Store in a cloth or plastic zip lock bag to minimize damaging contact. This practice will lengthen the service of these or similar safety glasses. It works well for me.

"Front End" Addendum: GUNNAR Optiks is aware that the plastic used for the frames of the original Intercept glasses breaks easily, so they have switched to a (hopefully) more resilient plastic. GUNNAR customer service bent over backwards to make things right. Thanks, GUNNAR!________________I would hesitate before getting prescription lenses, at least for the Intercept model. The frames are brittle and fragile. Even though I was careful with them, I've gone through two pairs that broke at the exact same place. The poor quality frames are NOT worth the hefty price tag.

I had one of these flip over in a little wind storm. Broke the glass and I couldn't find a replacement anywhere. Upon further inspection I noticed that the frame had also bent along with the top. I ended up just replacing the whole thing. No I leave them tipped over on their side when not in use in the windy months. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

We have had them for about six months with no breakage. My kids aren't too rough but they aren't gentle either. They play with them regularly and there hasn't been a single issue, even with the ones my five year old has. I would say they are pretty sturdy.

Mine was not broken -- came and looked better than I thought it would. We just have it on display on our bar at home, haven't taken shots out of the glasses, so don't know how well they wash.

They're pretty sturdy. About the same quality that I used to use behind the bar. But they're still glass. Even behind the bar they break.
