Onion Goggles, Fog Free Lenses, Safely Prepare Food Without Tears

My boyfriend is a professional chef and sometimes chops onions in batches. The last time he did it in the house, the fumes were so bad even our cat’s eyes were watering. (Don’t worry - I opened an upstairs window and held my cat’s face up to it so fresh air could clear his eyes. And mine.) As bad as it was for us, my boyfriend’s face was right in it so it was much worse for him. For his birthday, I got him these. I went with the red because he will spot them faster in his chef bag. He likes them. He said they feel like they’re well constructed. They fit well. He could feel the fumes outside trying to get in, but the glasses kept them out. Now for sizing. These are one-size-fits-most. My boyfriend is 6 feet tall, built, with a hat size of 7 5/8” and wears a large mask. Not a small guy. Fortunately, the glasses fit him. Teeny bit small, but they seal everything out. He said that for someone larger than him, they probably wouldn’t fit. I am a much smaller man at 5’6” and 125 - 130 pounds. The area under the bridge of my nose is more prominent. I tried them on and they don’t fit me especially well. At the bridge, there is a forward gap between my face and the glasses. The top of the glasses and my brow ridge are also misaligned — enough that it would let in fumes if I used them. Whether the fit issues are primarily due to my nose being differently shaped or not, I don't know, but I can say they didn't work for my face. I still recommend buying them. They are great at their job if they fit your face -- and you won’t know that until you try them.

Love them. They really work

I looked at these for over 2 years wondering if they really worked and thinking how silly the concept. After cutting myself badly and requiring stitches the last time I had to handle onions because I was sobbing so hard and my eyes burned so badly, I thought, what the heck? I caved in and purchased them. It was that or give up cooking with onions forever. Now, one might think I'm exaggerating but I'm not. I have never, ever been able to peel or cut even a single onion without the flood gates opening everywhere. I've tried all the tricks, including wearing gloves to keep the odor from my hands to no avail. I have brothers in the both police and firefighter fields and aside from making fun of me (that's what brothers do and I'm used to it), they have both at some time or other told me, amidst their ridiculous laughter, that my reaction to onion fumes is quite similar to the training methods for both police and firefighters where gas masks are required for a jaunt through the smoke or gas house or mace is used during training. I cannot say I disagree with them. I'm more than a mess. I must admit I was extremely disappointed when I tried these on. Although I need reading glasses for close work, when working with onions I couldn't wear the readers anyway because of the pain and tears in my eyes - just couldn't see, so the fact that these don't fit over prescription glasses wasn't a big deal for me. My disappointment was that they don't fit snugly against my face so the rubber liners were pretty useless. Rather than return them, however, I spent a few more bucks on a sports strap that secures glasses to one's head and tried them together. Just this morning I made 2 huge crock pots of beef stew (yeah, we're shoveling out still another foot of snow here in the Northeast this morning) and that meant onions. I tried the goggles with the security strap and didn't cut myself once, didn't cry, didn't feel the burn in my eyes. I could barely smell the onion fumes and found myself still wearing the silly looking goggles when I carried the stoneware to the actual crockpot base. I could have removed the goggles at least 8 minutes earlier and forgot I had them on. These work. Plain and simple provided they fit accurately. I'm going to get another pair and another strap so if this pair wears out, I've got another waiting in the wings. I couldn't be happier with this product unless, of course, it came with a security strap.

It works as advertised! As a bonus, my wife and kids took great pleasure in mocking me for how I looked wearing it! Only drawback, as others have mentioned, is you cannot wear it over glasses. So if you have deficient near-vision, you are chopping away with your knife without seeing too well. Kind of iffy but worth the risk!

See my letter to the manufacturer regarding: RSVP International (TEAR-BK) Black Onion Goggles, 6"| Safely Prepare Foods Without Tears | Remove Smoke, Steam, VegetableIrritations | Fog-Free Lenses for Cooking, Skiing, Biking, & Dry Eyes After reading a review in the NY Post article, The best goggles, face shields, and glasses to protect yourself from COVID-19, I purchased 2 pairs of goggles for my daughter and me for a planned trip to NC over the summer. Unfortunately, the Covid numbers got worse in NC so we did not go. We never opened the box or tried them on and assumed the products were reputable. Fast forward we are heading to NC this month and have made preparations to be as safely geared up as possible. As such, we tried on one pair of the googles with our new face shields only to discover that they DO NOT FIT / WORK. There are large gaps on the side and underneath the eye and the goggles do not sit on top of flat nose bridges. Bottom line, these are designed for narrow faces and nose bridges. These leaves out most of the world whose faces are wider with broader nose bridges. I have no qualms with how you design your products but believe strongly you should be forthcoming that the goggles do not fit ALL FACE TYPES. These glasses would not have offered any protection on the airplane or elsewhere, let alone while peeling onions. We missed our window for a refund but I felt compelled to write to you out of frustration for your lack of foresight and inclusion in your design. I ask that you clearly label the fit of your product so consumers are informed. Had we not tried on the one pair we would have not known it offered our eyes no protection whatsoever before our trip.

These things are amazing. Funny looking, but work great. I use them 3-4x a week when dealing with onions. Very comfortable.

They work perfectly

They are smaller that my original ones, but they fit me so well. I’d say for a smaller person, they are a great choice.

I finally caved in and bought Onion Goggles. The picture doest say much, let me tell you they really look good! Very nice looking. Plus they work! This year for a reason I don't know onions have a more potent smell, strength. I really appreciate their usefulness. Really well made. They do not look cheap. That's what I like, don't look like martian eyes. I do recommend them highly. 5*****

...fa il suo lavoro. L'unico sistema per non piangere quando si tagliano le cipolle è farlo sotto l'acqua corrente (il composto sulfureo che fa piangere è molto idrosolubile) ma è scomodo e si consuma un sacco di acqua. Anche usando elettrodomestici il composto che si crea fa comunque piangere se si è nelle vicinanze. Con questi occhiali ho risolto il problema, si adattano bene al viso grazie anche ad una spugnetta presente su tutto il bordo interno degli stessi. Vengono forniti con una custodia trasparente rigida dove riporli una volta utilizzati. Insomma, non è che siano così necessari ma visto il costo non eccessivo possono essere un valido aiuti in cucina... Spedizione ca. una settimana dall'estero. Buon imballaggio.
