Depends where you use them, everyone I've spoke to in offshore construction hates them, they steam up, reduce visibility, some people break out with sweat rash at the contact areas. The men just didn't like them. Fogging during graft was also a reported issue. We done a survey on about 170 people and they didn't score well, spoggles, half goggle half specs. We generally say that in high wind conditions the men should consider switching to them instead of regular safety glasses due to the tight fit/blocking debris benefit. Depends on your industry though I suppose, i.e. pharmacuticals or similar, maybe they'd be better suited there...

I have personally used these for a number of years - primarily as they are the closest thing I found on the market to the sealing benefit of a goggle without the pain in use associated with standard chemical goggles (headband / marked face / obstruction of peripheral vision). As with all protective eye wear they do suffer from steaming up moving between temperature zones or if the task requires a bit of effort. When offered in evaluation to the employees many preferred a lighter weight / softer sealing goggle as they felt more comfortable in the knowledge that the goggle would stay in place due to its headband and felt lighter whilst wearing - their choice was a great boon for our workplace monitoring as the chosen style had a bright orange comfort seal. As with all PPE it truly dies end up at what fits the risk / task & individuals comfort.

This is probably a case of having a selection of eye protection glasses available - the types identified by the RA process - so as trials can take place noting that in some cases the glasses noted are OK but in others they are not especially if somebody is sweating so U may need a selection of eye protection always available as against one blanket type time and time and time again I come across new kit that, whilst it looks good and the marketing info is nice with specially chosen model's wearing them in a made up work situation, just does not stand up to what is the realty in a workplace situation so new is not always best NB: I have a personal welding screen that is over 40 years old of a type [monkey mask] that U cannot buy anwhere in the UK these days that I know of] that is the only screen type that you can work with in a really confined space that will give protection whilst still allowing work to go ahead at speed, so like I have said already 'new is not always best'
