A lot depends on the shape of your face – for some they will be perfect, while others might have certain issues with them, as can be seen in the comments. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent, and ESS is a brand worth trusting.
The NVGs are ESS' flagship product, and were developed in collaboration with members of the elite United States Special Operations Forces (USSOCOM). They are the world's most popular contract goggles, and are on the equipment of the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force and many other NATO alliance armies.
The goggles provide ballistic protection with a high ANSI Z87.1-2015 standard. The transparent, scratch-resistant lenses feature a coating to prevent vapor buildup and a UV filter to protect your eyes from sunlight.
The entire design is complemented by a matte frame made of durable plastic. It adjusts effortlessly to different face types, and is easy to keep clean. The frame allows quick and efficient replacement of the visor. A detailed ventilation system minimizes evaporation, while a filter system prevents dust particles, dust or water droplets from entering the goggles.

The goggles look best under a helmet, they are comfortable and made from high-quality materials, which is why I definitely recommend them. So far, they haven't fogged up, we'll see how they are in winter. They don't leave marks from the rubber frame, however, the downside is that my head gets quite sweaty and the sweat runs around the seal at my head. Maybe during autumn they will start fogging up – I'll update in the comments if so.

When I press them down hard, they leave marks on my face; but if they're looser, they let in air.

They seem durable, although it's necessary to wait and see how the sponge layer responsible for filtration behaves. There's no case or any additional lenses included in the set.
