Depends. I've tried some on, and visibility varies greatly from not being able to see at all to being able to see with very "gritty" but slightly tinted vision. I would entirely argue that they don't belong in the pits, safety glasses or not. That being said, if the hood/face is down (most, if not all, have zippers in the back starting at the head, I don't see a major issue as long as they have safety glasses.
