Have not flown with them yet. They appear to be foreign made (and I'm not talking Great Britain) judging from the broken English on the box, worth what I paid for them ($15). The lenses are acrylic or polycarbonate, not glass (which is fine). Trim pieces are stainless steel but with sharp edges (stamped). The box says the frames are padded leather; if so, it's quite thin leather but they do fit comfortably. Look like they might last one or two flying seasons, tops. I wear contact lenses and absolutely must have something to keep my lenses from drying out in the propblast. I have ski goggles as well, but wanted something that looked more like flying goggles.Not a bad deal for the money but certainly not authentic leather with glass lenses. If that's what you're expecting look elsewhere.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________Find sales, coupons, and free shipping, all in one place!
