"Yes, they are comfortable under a helmet. However, they do not block the sun very well. As someone who is sensitive to sun I have to ride with sunglasses. These do not block the sun. Might be useful on a trail ride in the woods. Worthless on a sunny day. Better as protective eyewear."

"These sunglasses fit my husband who is now using them to ride motorcycles. he says they don't scratch and don't fog and he treats sunglasses like trash so they are pretty durable. However, they were not for him but for me and were too big for my face. I have a pretty small head so keep in mind when you're ordering."

"I read all the reviews both positive and negative before buying these sunglasses. When they came, I agreed with those who said they have a cheap appearance, but decided to try them while riding before making up my mind. They are more comfortable than they look; in fact, I forgot I had them on. I didn't have trouble with them fogging up but that could be a problem when the weather is hotter. I only gave them an average rating on durability because I haven't had them very long. But I would recommend them for someone looking for wrap around protection and comfort."

"Living in Texas, I ride in sunglasses frequently and was looking forward to receiving the SSG close contact sunglasses. I was very disappointed with the quality of the SSG sunglasses and the fit. They appear very cheap and run very large, making them completely unusable. I returned them and am still searching for a good pair of riding sunglasses."

"I purchased these because my usual sunglasses slip off my face when I ride.
I found these sunglasses to fit comfortably on the bridge of my nose. They did not slip, fall off or distort my vision while riding. They are light and comfortable and provide good coverage from the sun.
For the price these are great. Maybe you can find something cheaper. A lot of comments I read seem to think you can. $20 for a pair of good sporting sunglasses is not expensive. These are worth it."

"These are fantastic sunglasses. You don't even know you have them on because they are so lightweight. The protection is great because they wrap around.
I'm at a small facility with five horses. Everyone has tried my glasses and now we all wear them. I highly recommend them. And, for the price, they're a great deal. I even ordered a second pair to wear away from the barn."

"I was disappointed with this item as they were advertised as close contact sunglasses when in actuality they are just a pair of regular old safety glasses that can be purchased for much less pretty much anywhere. I returned this item without any hassles and would not recommend it to anyone thinking this is a pair of good quality glasses."

"I ordered these for both myself and my friend. We are turning over a new leaf and trying to ride more with our helmets. We both had a hard time finding sunglasses that were comfortable under the helmets. Being in Florida, sunglasses were necessary.
I ordered these on a whim and was thrilled that they worked for both of us, with our different style helmets and facial structure.
Very happy with this purchase and will purchase again if/when we lose/break these. :)"

"Can't believe the negative reviews. These are fantastic. I ride in them nearly every ride. I also have the yellow lens pair for overcast days and indoor riding at dusty arenas and on cold days. I hate when my eyes water at the canter because it's so cold. Not good with contacts or while trying to jump! They do scratch, so I keep them in a hard case in my groom box. Cheap enough to replace, but I usually get over year out of each pair before I scratch them too much - but I'm pretty annoyed by scratches. I find the to be very comfortable to wear. They only fog on cold days when I'm standing still. Soon as my horse starts walking again, they defog. So while standing still, I just pull them down the bridge of my nose a bit and they clear up fine. I like the wrap around the keep dust out and the frameless doesn't obstruct my peripheral vision."

"For the price, these can't be beat. Yes, they are plastic, and if you mishandle them, they will probably break. But they fit great, are lightweight and don't slide off without gripping my head. I tend to lose or break sunglasses so I won't buy an expensive pear, but I'd get a backup pair of these in a heartbeat!"

"Don't fool yourself into thinking you need these glasses. These do not fit--they wouldn't even sit on my nose when I had my helmet on. I'm sure these fit men better, but I can't fathom they would want to wear them because they FOG up horribly. You're better off going to a sporting goods store and getting real anti-fog glasses."

"I ride in a GPA, and found that when I put these on I had a huge gap between the bridge of my nose and the glasses. You're better off buying a cheap pair of sunglasses or relegating an old 'favorite' pair to your riding sunglasses. Good idea, but needs some work to fit the female face properly."

"I ordered these glasses because I had a beautiful pair of fitted Maui Jim glasses stolen and I need to wear something for the sun when I ride.
When I got these, I thought that they looked more like the cheap $5 glasses I bought on a whim from ebay. They certainly come NOWHERE near the quality and fit of my old glasses. These glasses are a bit flimsy, and I worried about easy breakage.
As several people have said the ventilation on these glasses is poor, and with the summer sun and sweat from riding they fog up. The fit with the helmet was okay, but I still had to push them up a bit, which is a pain when you are schooling horses... in the end I just tossed them on a chair outside the arena. I haven't worn them since the first ride and they are currently collecting dust in my tack room.
I am very disappointed! What a waste of money!"

"I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered these, but I was tired of riding in my cheap fashion sunglasses because they felt awkward and slid around. I was very very pleasently surprised! These sunglasses are light as air and very comfortable. I sometimes forget that I'm wearing them! They stay put, don't fog up, and are so comfortable! Great value! The only thing I would say is that they might not be snug enough for small heads."

"i recently purchased these glasses and was a lil skeptical at first as to if they would work well for me or not cause i always ride in my everyday sunglasses. from the 1st time i rode in them, i knew they were going to work out for me. they have not fogged at all and i dont feel the need to squint while im riding like i do in my everyday sunglasses. they wrap around very nicely and dont move at all while im riding. i absolutely love them and look forward to riding in them more esp on the hot sunny days when i ride in the afternoon."
