I bought these hoping they'd remain fog-free, and with the photo lenses as well. The photo sensitive lenses don't seem to really be that photosensitive and don't really dim much. The yellow anti-fog lenses (the main reason I got these winter "goggles") fog up in an instant, and therefore I have had to remove them. Either this product is mislabeled, or the claims the manufacturer has to the quality of the design are misleading. Also, they are quite over priced for the cheap plastic used for the materials.

This has to be one of the worst pair of sunglasses I've purchased in a while. I had high hopes for these with their ability to switch to goggle-mode, which is fairly easy, but there are too many letdowns to recommend this to anyone... especially given the premium price. 1. The glasses sit real loose on the face and slide down the nose way too easy. 2. The "dust shield," while seeming like a good idea, does not work at all. I picked these up specifically for this feature for when I'm motorcycling/ATVing... but what a let down! 3. Lastly, and the worst "feature," is the difficulty in swapping out the different lens. There is no easy way to do it and you risk damaging the lens/frame every time you do so; essentially, you are just popping the lens out of the frame and squeezing in the replacement lens, it would be the same if you tried this with a non-interchangeable frame system. I am absolutely unhappy with this product and do NOT recommend it to anyone. Stay away from the BodySpecs ...

I'm a motorcyclist with 30 years in the saddle. Body Specs BSG goggles with all of the included options are a great value, especially if you're uncertain of exactly what kind of eye protection suits you best. The removable closed-cell foam eyecup (gasket) that shipped with the goggles was comfortable and sealed out road grit nicely while still allowing airflow. Unfortunately, after a summer of use the foam part began to separate from its sub-frame. I phoned the manufacturer. Body Specs told me that the problem was rare and sent two free replacements. (But they charged shipping, probably because I also ordered an extra set clear lenses to replace one I scratched - my own fault - in a poorly executed on-the-road cleaning.) The replacement gaskets were plain foam and not the closed-cell foam that originally shipped with the product. While they're not as comfortable as the originals they still work fine - and they haven't separated. Fogging, a common problem with goggles, can be expected ...

The frame of these are cheap and break easily. Photochromatic lens doesn't get dark. I had to request the dark smoke lenses to get any use at all. Of the 4 sets of lenses I have, only one seats in frame properly.
