I first heard about Cocoons in a product blurb in a gun magazine.  The article was touting them for use as protective glasses while shooting.  I need to wear bifocals, and protective eyeglasses purchased at the local hardware store are just too uncomfortable and tend to fog up when worn over my glasses.  These Cocoons are lightweight, fit very well over my glasses, and really do enhance my vision when I wear them.  The have wire inside the arms which allows you to adjust them for a perfect fit.  They are wrap around sunglasses, so they provide protection from the side, too.  I was so pleased with them I bought two more pair to keep in my vehicles when I need to wear sunglasses.

Cocoons arrive well-packaged in a nice zippered pouch.  The pouch has both a loop and a large clip that allow you to wear the pouch on your belt or secure it onto a ring (for example on a backpack).  The main problem with the pouch is it only zippers open at one end, and it is challenging to remove the glasses or put them in the pouch without scratching them on the zipper.  A full-length zipper or a velcro closure on the pouch would have been far more useful.  They also come with a soft cleaning cloth.

The Pilot size glasses are quite big.  You will look a little bit like Elvis in Vegas or Elton John while wearing them.  If you can get past that look, though, you will be happy with them.  If you check out the Cocoons web site online you will find they have a size chart that will help you select the correct version to fit over your glasses and the type of protection you want.

Cocoons would be useful for many purposes including eye protection while shooting, using power tools, riding a motorcycle, or skiing; for eye protection against the sun's rays; for enhanced vision while driving. They are expensive - prices range from $29.95 to $49.95 - but if you want a comfortable way to wear sunglasses over your eyeglasses, or simply want a good wrap around pair of sunglasses, they are a nice value.  I paid $29.95 each for mine and am quite happy with them.
