Customer Reviews: Perfect for "Mad Scientist" or Dr. Horrible costume October 28, 2009 B. Janine (Los Angeles, California) I ordered these for a "Mad Scientist"/Dr. Horrible costume for my son. The goggles are comfortable and work 'as is' or you can paint them for an aged patina. The strap makes them very easy to adjust for comfort wearing. They were much nicer than pictured. The price was right. You can't go wrong with these for a costume.
Since I'm not using them for welding, I have no comment on their use as welding goggles.
Fashion over function. October 27, 2009 Jarod Smith I bought the Hobart 770129 Oxy/Acet goggles along with the DVD Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. The goggles were not purchased to be used for welding so I cannot speak for how they perform; however, I did paint them silver and use them as part of a Dr. Horrible costume and they were perfect!

This is a perfect addition to my "Mad Scientist" Halloween costume. They seem very high quality also and are very reasonably priced.
Not a great fit September 15, 2009 K. Myers 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The flip up shade is nice, but the fit isn't very good and they are uncomfortable to wear. I'd recommend the individual cup type goggles over these.
Decent oxy-acetylene welding googles, flip up shade January 21, 2009 Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States) 17 out of 18 found this review helpful
Okay, there are two groups of folks looking at this item, Steampunk costume folks and welders.
For the welders:
- Well built, inexpensive
- Both the clear and shaded glass were flat and well-attached
- The ventilation on the goggles was especially good
For the steampunk folks:
- The googles themselves are rubber-plastic, would need decoration
- Strap is decidedly modern looking
- There is (safety) text on the lenses
- Look pretty good and are cheap
