Kroop's Ventless Goggles - Protect Your Eyes From Wind, Dust, Pollen, and Rain

I have a small face and have tried a dozen pairs of safety goggles, swim goggles, and scuba masks for adults AND children, trying to find something that fits. My purpose is to have eye protection for infrequent short trips such as to the post office or bank during Covid. These goggles wrap around my face smoothly and the edge touches my face ALL the way around, which is amazing! I can get them to work with or without an N95 respirator. I will tape the rivets so they don't let in air, or I may put a drop of glue in the holes. I would not recommend them for daily use, because I think it would be hard to get them sanitized with the sewn on edging, but if you only use them once in a while you can wipe them down and then let them sit till next time, which in my case is weeks apart. I've never tried a satin sleep mask, but these are as comfortable as I imagine one would be, and SO light. If you are old enough to remember what an overhead projector sheet was like, that is similar to the plastic in the lenses. They are not designed for something dangerous like construction work, but they are a lightweight barrier against outside air. The binding is comfortable against my face. I can see out really well. You may be thinking it doesn't have enough of a seal (like the kind with a silicon gasket) to seal well. Actually, it does seal pretty well because it lies flat all around, unlike most products that gap on my small face, silicon gasket or not. I have not decided for sure if I will use these or a pair of kid's swim goggles that fit on my eyes with suction (but are uncomfortable and hard to see out of), but these are really good. I could certainly recommend them as a possibilty for a situation where you have a frail elderly person with a petite face who you must take places, and they are not going to want tight swim goggles bruising their fragile skin, but I feel sure they would find these comfortable. They do not work with eyeglasses underneath. There are slits where the straps attach, and you may want to tape those, too, depending on how they fit the individual. Have not tried them on an actual trip yet to see how much they fog up, but the Small constuction goggles I've been using for 2 years fog up, so they won't be any worse..

was cheaply made. Pretty much a piece of plastic with some cuts and folds, made into the shape of a goggle lens. Did protect my eyes from tearing up on cold nights walk, but did have some fogging issues that were annoying

Used for COVID patients and eye protection in the community.Pros:Great price, made in the USA, sturdy despite the flexible lenses,sturdy strap,comfortable for prolonged use (1 hr Max).Cons: Sweat and fog, as is the case with so many goggles. Not sure how much of that is due to goggle design but sweat and condensation definitely build up, especially if you're wearing a face mask. Alleviated somewhat by rubbing inside with the included anti fog wipe (lasts about once), and then subsequently with other products)Would not recommend for safety applications like power tool use.

Been waiting for goggle manufacturers to get real and develop better and more comfortable goggles that are easier to use and more protective of eyes. These are the first I've found to do this. Their unique lens folding pulls the goggles in to rest against your cheekbones unlike the rest which leave an air gap. The goggle shape is much more comfortable against your nose and securely closes off your entire eye area from air intrusion. Although there are still vent holes, they are tiny and easy to cap off if you want an entirely closed goggle. The only issue I have with these is that they come only with black or white goggle edging and that there is no transparent edging option one can buy. These goggles look more natural on your face compared to the rest because of the way they are shaped, but it is still apparent that you are wearing goggles by the goggle outline. If they were transparent, they would hardly obscure the view of your face and be more attractive to wear. Goggles are here to stay for some of us, and it would be really nice if goggle manufacturers would follow this example and then go beyond to offer a way to include an RX prescription option too. Edit: I read complaints that these are too flimsy, still fog, or not completely "ventless". They are NOT "safety googles" but intended to protect from air particles such as pollen or are attractive for Covid protection, so you have to bear the use in mind. There is no such "ventless" eyewear that will NOT fog up with usage over time. Some erspiration around the eye is inescapable even with small vents. I apply anti-fog drops to these whenever I use them to minimize any fog.

I’m not really sure what the design goal is with these. I wanted a cheap wind visor.I did get that, but I did not anticipated said visor having HOLES in the front??What’s the point of a visor with literally 4 holes in it. Sure, it blocks more wind than.. nothing. But in 20mph wind, those 4 holes feel like an airhose pointed at your eyes.

Bought these to ensure dust and allergens don't get in my eyes but noticed little holes all over the glasses. Not sure what the point of "not vented" is if there are still holes to let in dust and allergens. Also, depending on the shape of your nose there can be a pretty massive gap there.
