I had the original shop shades and somehow I lost them. I kept them in my bag with the fabric pouch when I wasn't using them and can't explain how they disappeared. When I bought the Protectors, I vowed to buy a hard case for them when I got them. When they arrived in that awesome yellow box, I was pumped! I don't know if they inteded on users keeping that box to use as a case, but I did. Great shop glasses, lightweight, totally comfortable and a great case to protect them! Awesome job Shop Shades!
Great products and very high quality, love my shop shades. They are the most comfortable pair of safety glasses I've ever had, the dust mask is super comfortable and works well, T-shirt has very thick fabric and high quality print and the sign is the perfect addition to my shop.
My first thoughts as i received them is a straight 5 star. Light weight. More comfortable than glasses ive had before. My prescription was exactly what i ordered. Im happy to have these. I wear these a lot as i do a bunch of welding and other construction work. I will see how durable they are as i go on.
I recently got into woodworking and started following John Malecki and Unscrewed, which is how I heard about these. I’ve bought the cheap multi-packs from Amazon and big box stores before, and these are on a whole other level. I was a bit skeptical about spending fifty bucks on safety glasses, but they are worth every penny.
Why they’re different:
Insanely comfortable: I’ve never worn prescription glasses in my life, so I usually hate having things on my face. These are so lightweight and snug that I literally walked right into Home Depot after working in the shop before realizing I still had them on.
Crystal clear: Unlike the cheap ones that scratch immediately and get blurry, these lenses are top-tier. No distortion, just perfect clarity while cutting and assembling.
Solid build: They feel premium and wrap around perfectly, so I don't have to worry about flying splinters or dust sneaking in from the sides.
Honestly, they're so good that I'm planning to buy more pairs just to bring into work. If you're getting into the craft and want proper eye pro that you won't constantly be tempted to take off, just buy a pair. John and the guys nailed it with these.
