One conditional drawback
In my case, it seems that nearly every time I wear safety goggles, I also wear hearing protection. (I use the Peltor H10A Professional Noise Canceling Earmuff, which I would also rate at 5 stars.) Unfortunately, as much as I like the comfort of DeWalt’s safety goggles, they are of such a substantial size that wearing them together with the equally oversized Peltor hearing protectors is a problem. The goggle’s molded frame presses against the cups of the hearing protectors, pushing them backwards far enough to make them lose the seal around my ears. (With my 7-1/2 hat size, I don’t have a small head, so that’s not a contributing factor.) Any attempt to adjust the Peltor’s earcups forward to arrange for a proper noise-attenuating seal merely pushes the goggles away from my face, with the result that the elastic strap on the goggles fights back — a battle it always wins.
I can’t, in good conscience, give less than 5 stars to this product — it doesn’t deserve to lose points because of my particular situation, and they’re still my first choice as the safety goggles I’ll wear when I don’t need hearing protection. I wrote this review only to let someone who may be considering the purchase of, or who may already own, a pair of large hearing protectors of a potential conflict.

Mowing Lawns? These are for you!
I love these. I have heard alot of folks knock them because they feel they don’t have enough anti-fog. I rarely have had the fog, usually when I am do heavy work with alot of physical exertion. And then, it usually clears up quickly.
TIP-When cleaing, never use papertowels, tissue or toilet paper to clean. Simply rinse with warm water and then using your fingers take a little dish soap and warm water and wash the lenses gently. RInse throughly and shake off excess water. Let dry…again…no papertowels,let them dry on their own.
I use these when using a commercial mower, trimming, leaf blowing, and other landscape duties. If I were to have one comment against them, they need a little dust-foam-filter where the vents are. Needless to say, in new england when something like this occurs, we don’t whine about it, but simply fix it.
A thin narrow strip of foam hot glued into the inside of the goggles where the vents are will keep some of the finer dust out but understand, this will cut down on the anti-fog feature.
