Tools and Hardware Reviews of B52 Clear Safety Glasses Side Shields for Medium to Large Glasses
Customer Review: CONFLICTING INFORMATION
Summary: 2 Stars
If you look at the generic information above, under the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION heading it says that this is the B52+ model of these plastic side shields. If you look at the TECHNICAL DETAILS beneath that, it says that these are meant for "Small to Medium frames."
Having ordered off this exact Amazon page, I can tell you that the information is a bit misleading.
My side shields were shipped with the specification paperwork for the different models--including the one I purchased. On that paper, it says that the B52+ is good for MEDIUM to LARGE frames.
These side shields are too big for small frames. I tried installing them on my wire-frame glasses, where I felt like the very act of installing them would do damage to the temples of my glasses.
The side-shields are attached by slipping a temple through a small rubber band and then lifting that rubber band over a tab. The longer the temple-legs are, the more you'll have to stretch that small rubber band. There were times I was afraid my glasses would bend out of shape before I got the rubber band in place.
Even if these side-shields were the right size, I still felt that the act of installing them was far too time-consuming and unintuitive. A snap-on clip or something would be much faster and practical, in my opinion.
For those that plan on using these with Medium or Large frames, the side-shields are "fitted" by merely bending the "Living Hinges" to complete the fit. Unfortunately, these "Living Hinges" are nothing more than flexible plastic, so there is a chance they can still fit improperly.
According to the paperwork that came with these side-shields, here are their sizing recommendations:
B26+ . . . is good for SMALL and MEDIUM frames with a glass lens height of 1.182" to 1.70" (30-43mm)
B52+ (the one you're reading about) . . . is good for MEDIUM and LARGE frames with a glass lens height of 1.25" to 2.125" (32-54mm)
They're plastic, they're cheap, they're made in the USA . . . but I think there are better quality side shields to be found.
