DANGEROUS FALSE INFO IN DESCRIPTION - DOES NOT OFFER UV PROTECTION - DO NOT BUY!
I bought these to protect my young son's eyes when we search for fluorescent rocks with a UV flashlight. The product name, the bullet points, and the flashy info below that make the claim multiple times that these goggles offer UV protection. They also claim that they are made of polycarbonate, which as a material blocks 100% of UV rays.
Tonight after some rock hunting with my son, on a whim I decided to check to see if my own prescription glasses offered any UV protection. I shined the UV light that we used to locate the fluorescent rocks through my glasses at the rocks we had found. As you can see from the first photo, there was no fluorescence - meaning that my glasses blocked the UV light so the rocks didn't shine.
Then I tried with the goggles my son has been using on our last few outings - these BISON LIFE Kids Protective Safety Glasses. I'm sure you can imagine my extreme alarm to see the rocks fluorescing as if there were nothing between the UV light and the rocks. THESE GLASSES DID NOT BLOCK THE UV LIGHT AT ALL! And my 6 year old son has been using them because I bought them based on the info associated with this product page.
It may also be assumed that these are NOT MADE OF POLYCARBONATE, since polycarbonate blocks 100% of UV rays. Based on these two falsehoods, I would seriously question their assertion that these glasses "Exceeds ANSI Z87.1 standards"
