Pros
These glasses have the adjustability to be comfortable, unlike Foggles brand. They don't irritate the upper ear and nose either. They are very comfortable, and they fit under my headset with a pretty good seal compared to other glasses. The little carrying bag also doubles as a cleaning cloth, similar to the type you get with high end sunglasses.
Cons
I have no complaints as of yet.
General Comments
A great alternative to the uncomfortable, unadjustable Foggles brand view limiters.

Not expensive except that the shipping was high. It was the only item I ordered. Comfortable with a nice soft case
Cons
I had only worn my instrucror's "foggles" until I got these. The transition between the clear and the frosted lense in this product is quite abrupt, almost severe. I don't know if that is good or not but the first time I tried them was the first time I experienced some disorientation. Took a few minutes in the bumps and then I was ok.

Inside width of glasses too small to fit over top of prescription glasses making them unuseable for my situation unfortunately. Was advised there is only one width size available at this time. For smaller heads the rating would have been higher.

I had to return this unit as it did not fit over my glasses as advertised, therefore I had no chance to use this product in an actual flight training. Product seems to be well built but the description is misleading.

Pros
Does a good job keeping vision focused on instruments.
The white coating let light in while obscuring vision, so you didn't feel like you were in a tunnel.
Cons
The coating on the top half seems like it could come off easily.
General Comments
If you use prescription glasses, these may not work for you! They fit over my glasses okay, but the unobscured section didn't start until below the bottom of my glasses. I couldn't read a single instrument! Fortunately, my prescription sunglasses didn't have the same problem, so it will vary according to your eyeglass type and size.
Seems like a cheap pair of safety glasses with masking tape on the lenses would have been cheaper and just as effective.

It does a good enough job for simulating IFR.
Cons
There is a gap on both sides of the foggles that allow the person wearing them to clearly see out the side window, which even if you aren't trying to cheat...it still takes away from the simulation of IMC conditions.
General Comments
The advertisement says it fits over glasses. Well I have two pairs of glasses and I cannot wear the foggles with them, so I have to wear contacts to do my IFR training.

This is the best set of foggles I've used. It is possible to "cheat" as you get a corner view out the side window (if you look) but the fit under my Zulu and over my sunglasses is good.

Does what it is supposed to do. Much lighter and more comfortable than a hood.
Cons
Was sitting way too low. Had to seriously pad the nose bridge to raise the glasses, such that I could see the instruments and not only my feet. Would be nice if there were some possible adjustment for different noses.
