How dark are the lenses on these? Also, how comfortable are they to wear?

I'm not sure if there is a technical answer to how they are, like a number, but they are fairly dark. It is very hard to see through them indoors, but outside in the daytime you can see pretty well. They turn everything a medium green. They're fairly comfortable, even though the plastic is hard. The fact that they are adjustable helps a lot.

well they are oacetyl goggles. so they are pretty dark. darker than dark sunglasses. not dark enough to arcweld. i wore mine at burning man and they did perfect there. you are able to take the dark lenses out and just wear the clear ones. I tried to find a lighter shade but no real luck yet. could make something if you wanted using plastic. also they are fairly comfy, i had an older pair from 50's that were better fitting, these are shaped a bit differently, but im sure it depends on the shape of your face.

Mine are very comfortable to wear. I tend to wear them for several hours at a time and almost forget I have them on because I'm so used to them.

I have no way to exactly measure the darkness or lightness of these goggles however, because I bought these for working in the shop, both grinding and welding, I felt compelled to answer. The seem dark enough for using a torch and grinding however I would not weld with them as they seem too light. Also, the little chain that holds the two eye cups together is really poorly designed. I can no longer use mine because I need to figure out a new middle connector or just throw them away... I honestly got really frustrated with the middle pc falling apart every time I tried to put them on!

I wear glasses all the time, and wear these headphones for approx. 2-3 hours daily. They are quite comfortable once you bend the metal in the clips for your ears.

I wear Oakley m frames with mine. I use them for hunting and shooting. For as much as 6-8 hours. I haven't had a lot of issue with comfort. Sometimes it can be but that's strenuous.

I wear these withy glasses and, personally, have had no problems. They're quite comfortable.

I would say no. The lenses are a dark tint, so riding at night alone can be affected. Also, the goggle frames are actually a really light weight plastic, which I would say isnt practical for long term use. These are mostly just for style or show, and not safety or protection.

Hi Tony, I use them for shooting glasses in and outdoors. I have never used them for driving at night. I have a yellow pair i use for night driving.

Yes, I can wear them in the daytime. I don't recommend them if it's really bright outside as the glasses are obviously meant to enhance brightness. But if it is partly cloudy to fully cloudy, they are great. Oh and especially helpful at sunrise and sunset when your eyes are trying to adjust for either more dark or more light and can't.

I have a severe light sensitivity too.I own two pairs. One dark and one clear.I mostly wear the dark ones as it is usually bright when I swim.However there are times when I swim early in the morning or later in the evening, allowing the clear lens to keep my view intact.

I've worn these at burning man. They block dust well and look pretty cool. They are also very dark, which is helpful for the intense sun during the day. However, I am not sure if they are uv rated (I think maybe not) so I often wear uv rated sunglasses instead. Can someone please confirm the uv rating of these?

I really like the GR 801's. They're very flexible as long as you treat them with respect they do great. For the price I don't think you can beat them. I'm probably going to order a few more pairs just to keep around in case something happens ones that I have. I like them that much. They aren't really heavy or anything. They look good. And the lenses themselves aren't an obnoxious amber color. I have several pairs of firing range glasses and if I wanted to wear those, I'd wear those. The actual tint on the GR's is subtle but the perfect amount in my opinion and experience. I had severely burning eyes periodically and headaches before I bought these. After three days of wearing them that all started going away. Five days in completely gone. I wear them all the time now.

I wear them over glasses and they work fine. In my review of them I mention that they fog. That's true with or without glasses.

The goggles are not here they are at college with my son but I asked and they said not too dark, very easy to see. Hope that helps!

Hello! I love these glasses and use them when I drive from work in the mornings. I have no trouble wearing them inside at work and homes, but as they are sunglasses I can't see well wearing them outside at night. Hope this helps!

I have had mine since last summer. Use them primarily to ride my old Harley D. I am very careful when exchanging lenses and thus far they have been fine with no obvious scratches. Don't pull on the rubber part of the nose piece when exchanging lenses just the hard plastic piece. I like mine as can change for various lighting days.

I have worn my with my reading glasses and find them comfortable. They are padded well. For the price I think they have worked well..I have paid much more and had more problems, over all I think these are good headphones. I sometimes fall asleep with them on and I am a light sleeper! Hope this helps.
