5.0 out of 5 stars. Perfect for a large headReviewed by Anonymous from Richmond, VA vicinity on Tuesday, September 15, 2015They should promote more of the fact that the Echo version fits a large head. I have just that and these shooting glasses fit perfect. Optical clarity is perfect as far as I can tell and this with a circular design.
Most of my use will be with the clear lens, not the gray, as I will be under sheds at the outdoor range. However, I think I am going to start using the gray lens on long motorcycle trips as the chances of getting hit in the face with kicked up stones from trucks is pretty high. These glasses should offer way more protection than my standard sun glasses. Having just spent over 5 grand on ReSTOR lens for cataract surgery on both eyes, I am focused a lot on protecting this part of the anatomy. I could gig Smith for not making the gray lens polarized, but that wouldn't be fair as they aren't touted to be.
I haven't tried them yet with my set of ear protectors, but as thin as the temples are, I am sure they will do as advertised. The nose bridge is comfortable and also fits good. Nice, roomy, protective box that it comes in along with the spare dark gray lens, elastic strap, cleaning cloth and excellent set of instructions on how to change out the lens.
Quality all around. Made in the USA, and IMO at a very reasonable price. Who could ask for anything more?

2.0 out of 5 stars. They looked good on paper.Verified Buyer Reviewed by Tonka Skipper from Minnetonka, MN on Tuesday, April 7, 2015I needed a new pair of range glasses after losing a pair last fall. These looked like they'd fit the bill, but when they came I found that, with the narrow bridge of my nose, this pair of glasses falls right off my face. There is no adjustment that can be made to the nose piece, so I'll either go to an optometrist to see if they can apply pads to the inside of the nose piece or simply return them. Not what I had hoped for.
