These glasses are absolutely fantastic for airsoft (if you're one of the brave souls who plays without a full facemask.) They're impact resistant, scratchproof, and even fogproof (effectively so.) They only get a littly messy, and visibility is reduced, when dealing with a lot of sweat (i.e. a stagnant heat situation.) A lot of moisture gets captured within the goggle, causing the lens visibility to get a little 'streaky' or mushy. Cutting additional channels into the sealing foam padding has been suggested to remedy this. This isn't 'fog', however, and the lenses have yet to fog up (even in the middle of a hot summer day in Florida, while running in the everglades in full tac gear.)

Great for motorcycle riding! I bought these so I didn't have to stop and change lenses when it gets dark. The problem is that the light adjusting lenses just do not get dark enough for daylight riding. There is also a problem with pop out lenses and IEDs. The lenses can pop out during an explosion due to over pressure and gouge out eyes like a spoon! I definitely DO NOT recommend ANY pop out lens for combat operations!
