How is quality of the arms? From the photos they seem to thin plastic - any issues with these snapping?

Seem to be made well. I got them for my son in the Airforce. He seems to love them. He wears them all the time. Hope this helps.

Good quality eye pro. Lightweight and strong. Lasted 2 deployments in Afghanistan. Very comfortable as well.

They have very high quality arms. It is not brittle plastic. It is flexible. I have a big head so being flexible really help them fit well. I use mine every week and love them!

The arms are thin and very flexible. To break them would require some serious intentional bending, I can't imagine any normal use stressing the plastic enough to cause a problem. To me, the build quality easily feels on par with, and in some areas like the hinges exceeds, other higher priced performance eyewear you are probably familiar with.

Have had mine since before Christmas 2013 and they are holding up very well, the arms are flexible so no problems with breakage. The only problem I have seen is with the band that holds the glasses in place tore so they don't work anymore.

Arms are not as thin as they look. Very durable. I wear as safety glasses at work (Papermill) and in USAR (Drill Sgt). Lenses are secure but easy to change out. Highly recommended.

I do not know how they compare to the brand you mentioned but i can say they are sub par as far as the factory ones. They do not want to hold their position well as the arm breaks away to easy.

They are plastic (engineered polymer) with a firm structure and a reasonably soft nonporous surface. While the adjustable arms are an option on the chair, my recollection is that option is part of the "fully featured" chair. I bought the chair for my wife, and she LOVES it.

No Way can I guarantee that all the snaps will be correct. ALL I can say is that mine were fine. Great grip. Good spacing.

Ours has held up well for a couple years at a time. We just ordered two new sets to replace the old ones we had. They are plastic with elastic around the edge. They fit very well on the two round tables we have.

I have not noticed any problems. Set is very solid for the money. No regrets

The tension rods are metal and the snap connectors are plastic. The plastic connectors don't appear that they would break with normal installation.

I bought them as a gift for a friend, but I've used hers before and haven't had too much of a problem. They snap really tight, I know... I think they just need to get worn in. I will ask her next time we talk and see if there's a trick to it.

No I havent had that problem at all. They are pretty solid and thick, not flimsy at all.

The arms are plastic. I purchased my a few years ago and I have had no problems with it. I don't load it down with heavy things but its get plenty of use each week at my house. I am very happy with it and would recommend it.

We DID buy them again. They are beautiful and solid. The arms may need to be tightened periodically--going to try the superglue suggestion.

They are very sturdy. Just don't tighten the screw too tight as the plastic ends will crack. That is only for cosmetics, but it's still cracked. It doesn't affect the sturdiness. I would recommend them.

I think the overall body is aluminum, but the shutter cover seems like a less than sturdy plastic. Only part I'm worried might take some damage over time.

I posted a photo of my clamps, mine have, at the very least, a thick plastic shell. It is not the nice metal ones they show in the picture. I am not a fan of the plastic ones. They work well but I'm worried about durability and I feel I paid for the steel ones.

The arms are heavy duty plastic and the magnets are metal. I just love mine, get one and you will see what I mean as they are not expensive

They're kinda in the middle. They're bendable but it's not super soft plastic. They've worked out pretty well for me and you can't beat the price.
