I bought these for cycling (haven't received them yet) as a cheap alternative to expensive polarised sunnies and will likely use them for other activities that need protective eyewear as they "are compliant with AS / NZS 1337 approval for medium impact protection".
They look alright too, so I might just use them for casual wear as well!
