"Pretty good protection"

These protective overglasses do what they say they do: they fit securely over my regular glasses and seem sturdy enough to handle impacts that would otherwise risk injury. They're also light enough not to be burdensome to wear, and they have an elastic strap across the back of the neck that keeps them from flying off during play.

The downsides are that they are not especially comfortable, for me, at least (the earpieces aren't adjustable and dig into my ears a little), and they are not terribly well ventilated so they tend to fog a bit when I perspire.

If you're only going to use them occasionally or for a short time (e.g., after an eye operation, as in my case), especially if you don't perspire heavily, these are a good choice. If you expect to use protective glasses frequently on an ongoing basis, you would probably do better to spend the money for a more expensive pair. 3 stars
