Welding Goggles

Some people use Ski Goggles to protect the eyes against the dust storms. During the day it’s good because they have a dark visor, which blocks out a lot of the Sun’s UV rays. That’s not so handy at night. At night you need to be able to see and not have all your vision darkened by a visor. These Welding Goggles can be used both Day and Night. Simply flip the dark lenses on or off. Plus they are easy to customize and paint.
