I hope to continuously be updating this, probably every 3 or 4 months to provide updates. This will be my first time posting a review on here, so if you have any questions please ask away and I'll do my best to answer.
A little back story, I've always hated playing with my glasses on cause 1 I have a big head and the frames would smash into my temples and 2 no matter what I did my glasses would always fog up so I would always wear contacts to play. About a year ago I had a medical issue where I wasn't able to use contacts in my left eye for a while so I did what every sane person would do, I played with one contact in my right eye and had crappy depth perception. Pretty much I'd play a majority of each game with one eye closed. Eventually I got around to being able to wear contacts in both eyes but still my left eye would still get irritated and after a day of play(specially if the field was dusty/sandy or my eyes had started to dry out) my left eye would look like I had a burst blood vessel. So I found myself a week or so ago with some extra funds in my Paypal and said eff it, bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on a set of YouZee Clip In Glasses For Goggles.

Ordering (5/5)
Ordering was actually really simple, they use PayPal so that made it even more easier. When you order you pair and they'll email you a prescription guide, or you can look around their website and you can find the prescription guide if you wanna get it filled out before you order, from there you can your eye doctor/optometrist fill it out, and you can snap a pic of it or scan it and submit your prescription to YouZee.
Shipping(4/5)
Because YouZee is located in Sweden I expected my order to be stuck in customs for at least a week or two, but suprisingly I placed the order on a Saturday evening, submitted my prescription on the Sunday Tuesday I got tracking and had them in my hands that following Thursday. I don't know how or why they got here so fast but that was more than I expected so Bravo to them on that.
Durability(4/5)
This will be updated as I continue to use them throughout my paintball career so I'll make sure to notify that there are changes in my option on these
From out the box I was scared I was going to snap them, I belive that YouZee claims they can't be broken by conventional use, and from having glasses all my life and knowing how a broken new paint of glasses feels like had me hesitant to try and manipulate them. YouZee suggests placing them in warm water to soften them to more your liking and then run em under cool water to get it to retain that newly formed style, I did that and it was easy. Initially when trying to put it in the mask I hears a bit of "cracking" sound, after installing it to 3/4 masks the "cracking" sound ceased and they seemed to flex pretty well I'm curious if they just needed the initial "breaking in".
User Friendliness(5/5)
I was beyond impressed by how once I got them "broken in" how easy they were to take in and out of masks(I'll be posting what masks and how well they sit in the masks I have access to along with some pictures of them mounted)
Fogging Resistance(4/5)
This is another area I'll be updating as I use them.
Initially I thought these were going to fog up instantly, they ship these with a Hoya 'Anti Fog' cloth so that nice. I noticed that because they clip in to the mask they sit further away from my face so I don't know if that played into them not fogging up as much as I originally thought they would. I played with them yesterday in cloudy 62°F weather and had only 2 instances where I could see some fogging starting to happen, the first instance was when I switched to a mask with a visor, I belive the visor kept the heat/moisture trapped in my mask cause it popped the visor off and didn't have any fogging issues until later in the day when the field was calling last game. I was actually impressed by the lack of fogging up it gave me.
Lense Quality(3/5)
So this was my biggest issue and arguably the thing that might deter people away. I don't know if I had a fluke or it's how they make their lense but the lense quality isn't exactly to my perception. It's close enough for me to use for playing in and not have to worry, I could see clearly down my fields airball and I could see clearly across my rec ball fields, the only thing for me and like I said it could be a problem on their end but it's so close that I don't feel contacting them to get a replacement to see if they can fix it so I can read the small print on someone's jersey from one end of the field to the other, but if you're a stickler for having that ultra sharp detail on your prescription, make it known to them, I'm sure they will work with you. And for that I gave it a solid 3, it's what I expect from ordering from an online source, to be honest I if my eyesight changes in the upcoming year(s), I might just have my optometrist replace the lenses, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Size(4/5)
I was surprised to see how well they covered, I do wish they were a bit bigger, but thats just my preference cause I have really terrible eyesight and I did get shot by somone who was in my peripheral, but overall I was impressed by how well they covered.
Price(4/5)
This was a surprise for me, and I'll change this if I need to as I see how long these last, but when it comes to glasses, us weak genetic folk know the pain and cost of having to buy a pair of glasses. Frames alone can be upwards of 200$. I paid about 160-170$ total for the clip in frames, lenses, they gave me that Hoya 'anti fog' wipe, a carrying baggy, and a YouZee branded neck gaiter, so for that it definitely impressed me a bit.
Overall, I think this was a good purchase for someone who has to use glasses/can't use contacts and is a avid paintball player, I'll always want to use my contacts but for this upcoming year imma get my money's worth out of these bad boys.
