I decided to put this in its own thread since the other discussions had gotten forked and cluttered.
Here is what I did tonight.
I don't have enough room on my iPhone for video, nor time to do it. I took snapshots instead...
First, an RHD 12x blu ray build which cranked out 658mW with my newly added G-1

Now let's shoot that beam through the UVEX SCT-Orange goggles...

ZERO mW on the other side. There is no dot to even focus on the thermopile.
Moving up in the spectrum, another RHD build, this is a single mode 445 @ 150mW according to him, let's see how it does...

RHD is a man of his word and it goes 150mW. I need to put a G-1 on it and see what I get!
Now through the goggles...

Nothing gets through.
Let's step it up a notch, here is my ~1.25 Watt Survival Laser build...
1.24 Watts of 445 nm laser! by tsteele93, on Flickr
Nice... Now through the UVEX glasses...

Zero, zilch, nada. It DOES begin to melt little sections of the lens, not all the way through, but a little spot of wavy plastic where it was going through the goggles. They still let nothing through...
Now for 532nm, this is where it gets complicated. We know most greens are bleeding Infra-Red and these glasses don't stop IR.
But I think that I have a possible test for that at the end... First let's start with my O-like Crown, 400mW model that has been peaking at 300mW for me. Today I got some AW-IMR quality 18650's in to the house and what a difference that makes! Check this bad boy out!

How is that for cooking? Now let's run it through the goggles...

31 mW... But how much of that is green and how much is IR. I don't have any IR filters YET. Once I get some from o-like, I plan to install one and test. If it makes a difference then I will leave it installed and be good.
BUT, I did think of something that might answer the question for us. I recently acquired an Optotronics RPL-165 that was metered at the factory with 178mW AVG power.
I haven't found documentation stating that the RPL series has IR filtering, but they do say that their laser pointers have IR filtering so it seems logical that the RPL series might have IR filtering as well. Let's see what we get...
Optotronics RPL-165 by tsteele93, on Flickr
Without a doubt, the best QUALITY laser I own!
So the RPL-165 is putting out about 200mW, let's see what it does through the goggles...

5mW coming through the glasses. This makes me think that the RPL does have IR filtering, unlike the O-Like Crown model, and the glasses are letting 2.5%'of the 532nm light to pass through.
That means a 400mW IR filtered laser would be a 10mW laser with these glasses.
Until I get some IR filters to check, I can only speculate but it seems very reasonable and logical to believe that the cheaper quality greens are pumping IR and the RPL is not.
The good thing is that very few people are running around with >500mW of green right now, and I think these glasses are as good as I need with the way I use green. I rarely, if ever, try to burn with green because my focusable 405 and 445 are such great burners, even my 250mW red is a better burner than my greens.
Anyway, that is the test I conducted on the <$9 UVEX goggles that I use for violet/blue/green laser handling.
