Not For Me

By Chad Poindexter Ranked #69 - Sunglasses June 24, 2011

I recently picked up a pair of these but ended up getting rid of them. I took them with me on a recent backpacking trip, and while I started the hike out with the glasses hung around my neck, they ended up riding in my pack for the remainder of the trip.

Simply put, the arms squeezed my head and the arms were really uncomfy when I wore a hat while wearing them. I may have been able to deal with this alone, but that was not all. I also felt like the small frames limited my field of vision too much. Not just from side to side (meaning I did not find the side shields a problem). My problem was that light was coming in from the bottom if I pushed the glasses up, or from the top if I pushed the glasses down. Also, due to the narrow frame, I felt like the frame was always blocking some part of my field of vision. I have realized that I prefer glasses with larger frames.

Saying this, the glasses seemed to be quite durable and seemed to be very promising, however I just realized that they did not suit me.

I gave the glasses 3 stars because they do seem to be a fine pair of glasses, but I took 1 star off for fit and another for lack of vision.
