Bolle SILPSF Silium Safety Smoke Glasses

First up. I wear these as a pair of SUNGLASSES to keep the sun out of my eyes rather than an item of PPE in a work environment or environment where PPE is required.The fact that they have all these safety ratings and certifications is just a bonus for me personally.I have purchased a lot of Bolle glasses for cycling use as they are generally very light, comfortable to wear as well as having all the safety ratings and certifications to stop me losing my eyeballs.This SILPSF pair in particular is the pair I wear almost every day because they arent as heavily tinted as Bolles other glasses. This lighter tint makes them perfect to wear on grey and overcast days. I have won them on super bright days and they have offered some shade but youre better off with a darker tint for those sort of conditions.Another reason why I recommend Bolle in general is because the price. Its a fair bit cheaper compared to more sports or fashion orientated sunglasses that you can pick up from mainstream retailers. £20 tends to get you a cheap feeling plastic pair made out of ABS or some sort of injection moulded plastic that often breaks/snaps after a few uses.If these get lost, destroyed or too dinged up I can just replace them with another without having to really think about it.

Not bad safety glasses,they have a nice tint in them,do hurt your eyes for a few moments but think I’m not use to wearing them,seem well made,nice a light mind,seem pretty well made.

Not quite as illustrated, it does not have the clear plastic pads on the nose bridge, it has soft rubber loops. To be fair, they are comfortable and will probably be less likely to slip off if your skin gets a bit sweaty.When folded closed they are far too big to go in any of my numerous spare glasses cases, so I have just ordered a Bolle semi rigid case for them (another £6 at todays prices). But otherwise there is nothing to protect them when not in use. It is a shame there is not even a fabric slip that comes with them, and I think Bolle could do better in this respect. It would be simple to offer a glasses and case package for a price that does not include two lots of postage!Since I have recently moved to contact lenses from glasses, it's nice to be able to wear decent looking eye protection again.First impressions, very good for a £10 pair of glasses. I hope they will last a reasonable amount of time, which in my case (light recreational use) I would hope is a couple of years.Watch this space! :)UPDATE.. well they didn't last a year! They scratch quite easily and after sliding across the dashboard a couple of times and similar light scuffing, they are no longer clear enough for me to drive in. They will still be OK for hedge cutting etc, but nothing that actually requires you to see your subject in detail. Much softer than I expected for safety glasses. However, they are comfortable and good looking, so as they are now £7.63 and I have a case already, I'll give them another go.

I wear them as an extra level of eye protection under a helmet visor on a motorcycle (something I do as a matter of course, having had eye problems in the past with material hitting me even past/under the visor).These are not too dark but just dark enough to tone down a low winter sun. They are not too tight fitting but don't leave too much wriggle room for draughts and or insects/road gravel etc. The metal frames aren't too intrusive and the are confortable in a helmet - ie they can be put on either before the helmet goes on or even squeezed in when the helmet is already in place as the arms are commendably thin. They don't pinch your ears or nose.And gosh: they are pretty cheap!They don't even look bad - far from it. Highly recommended and don't look like safety glasses at all

I bought these for shooting full bore rifles outside on a sunny day, and they fit the bill perfectly.I had some "shooting" glasses before, but they were uncomfortable and felt cheap (they weren't cheap)This time around I thought I'd make sure I got some with metal frames, and the quality between these and my plastic ones are like night and day.These are comfortable to wear all day, the bridge is adjustable and even with my fat potato head these fitted comfortably.The arms don't get in the way of my ear defenders, and they just feel more premium than my more expensive ones.At ten quid a go it doesn't matter if they get lost, damaged or scratched. Just buy another pair.Overall this is the brand and model I will now be sticking with.

Great glasses , they can’t see my eyes so that’s great . Nicely built but the rubber covers on the arms do move after a while .

I chose these as a cost effective pair of glasses for my car. My sunglasses never seem to last very long, lost or broken, so I didn't want to spend a fortune. On arrival I was pleasantly surprised; the hinges look pretty strong and overall they feel good quality. A few reviews have mentioned writing on the lenses and although there is some, I don't think it is too obtrusive. One drawback is that the are quite big when folded, so don't fit in my sunglasses compartment in my car, only a minor point. The tint on them is strong enough to make driving in strong sunlight comfortable, but there are moment's when I feel the tint could be stronger. Some reviews have mentioned the lenses fit quite snug to the face, which is true, but I find I can sit them just back from my eyes and they stay there; these are safety Glasses, although I haven't used them as yet I feel the quality and snug fit would lend them well to keeping dust and particles from my eyes. Hopefully I won't need another pair, but based on use so far I would not hesitate in getting another pair if required.
