i have a pair....they arent bad...i wouldnt wear them in preference to specs, but they are great for windy days when ringing down dead/dusty timber. need to wear them slightly loose though or they get quite uncomfortable.

gerry......i think this is a fantastic setup, so much so that i went out and bought a new pantin and dropped it in at my local saddlers and had some webbing stitched on to make the set up pretty identical to how you have yours. only thing is though, i just cant make the left side pantin stay...
