i agree IE, these are better than nothing but personally these will never be my main pair, EVER

Pointed my own 1.5W 445nm laser at a GITD surface behind these goggles with the laser set to infinity (or as close to infinity as I could manage) and let it sit for a full 15 seconds. There is a melted/distorted rectangle approx~.6cm where the beam was hitting the lens, and after turning off the laser there was a very clear profile of the goggles where the GITD surface had not been stimulated by the lasers light. I think that if it reduces it to the point where the GITD surface doesn't register it, for a full 15 seconds, then it's safe enough for most lasers 405nm~445nm that are under 2W.
EDIT:
My Uvex S1932X SCT-Blue goggles came in. They appear to reduce 650nm laser light by maybe 10%... so they are completely useless. For the sake of trying I also tried them with 405nm, 445nm, 520nm, 532nm, and 638nm with no success at all.
It's still not insignificant, and better than nothing - typical cheapie red lasers are ~200mW-300mW and certainly a 30mW hit is preferable to a 300mW one.
Shame though... definitely can't actually recommend or use them.
That's saying that they reduced the output by 90% bro. They let 90% through lol.
I'm not done with my search just yet though. I will find a reliable supply of a cheap but effective goggle for the longer wavelengths...
D'oh! :banghead: you wrote by "by" my wishful thinking brain read "to"
