Zeal Maestro Sunglasses - Polarized - 2007 BCS

At first, I was skeptical of purchasing these glasses. As a long time Revo user, I was hesitant about moving to a poly lens because I felt that there would be loss of clarity; however, I was wrong. These are great glasses. They are light weight (can't be said about the Revo), have very good eye and face coverage, and the clarity and depth perception provide awesome vision. They are sturdy and while I have only had them for a couple of weeks I believe that they will hold up very well.

I bought these glasses for fly fishing. The best polarized lenses I have used so far for spotting fish. The lenses did fog up easier than I would have expected, however.

I have one pair of these and liked them so much, I bought another pair (needed one for working out and one for style, can't have dirsty glasses!). Great fit, perfect for medium size faces, and look fantastic! Do yourself a favor and buy a pair (or two) of these!

I have raced (cycling and running) in the Maestros for two years now and I love them! I don't think I could find a better pair of glasses for all around coverage, comfort and style. They are extrememly lightweight and fit many faces!

While at first glance the Maestro's amber lens tint would appear to be less effective than the standard mirrored gray lenses, it actually provides much better performance. Zeal’s combination of polarization and amber tint in the Maestro enhances depth perception and contrast and while not photochromatic, provide nearly perfect vision in the majority of situations that most people will find. In addition, the Maestro are nearly unbreakable due to the construction of hinges. The lenses are sufficiently large to effectively block both wind and sunlight and the hydrophilic temples combine with spring-loaded hinges to provide a highly secure fit, even when sweating profusely. Finally, the Maestro are sufficiently stylish as to be street-worthy no matter your attire.

Bottom Line Up Front: Best sunglasses I've owned - worth every penny. I've worn these while flying airplanes in the SouthWest, hiking and snow shoeing in the Wasatch, biking and driving Red Rock country, biking on LA's beaches...you name it. Most important: the polarized lenses work as advertised, and the glasses stay put, even in sweat. Clarity is stunning, no matter the lighting conditions. As an Air Force aviator, turns out I am in the 98 percentile of noggin circumference size, but the Maestro's fit just right. "Goodbye" to fitting issues for me! Very comfortable, even after 4-5 hours of use. In fact, the Maestros are light and comfortable, and after a few minutes, you won't even notice you are wearing them, outside of the great sun/glare protection. Only minor gripe: when folded (as depicted), the tip of the frame(s) rub against the inside of the lens, perhaps a durability concern over the long haul.

They are great except for they fit too close to my face and my eye lashes hit the lenses whenever I blink.

Have these glasses for a few years now and have circled the globe with them. They fit very well and the hydrophobic nose & ear pieces stick well to my face, even when sweaty. The ZB-13 lenses are a great color for bright & sunny conditions and work well in dark overcast conditions. They are almost photo-chromatic. They work very well. I would have given them 5 stars but I've gone through two pairs and haven't bought a third. They just aren't extremely durable! Both mine have broke at the hinge point and from looking at it it seams like Zeal could have made it a little more durable. I'm pretty hard on them so if your a little more laid back than me then you may not have a problem.

I wear sunglasses almost everyday here in the amazon and these are as good a pair as I have owned. The only negative is they fog up to quickly.

I was so impressed with these that I ordered another pair for my brother. Very happy with the Maestros. Primary duty are for driving and hiking. The comfort, style, and clarity are a great package. Hope to use these fishing in the near future.

decent, truly decent...comfortable, polarised, & the titanium off-whites are truly something...been a month & i think the only other pair of sunglasses i'll need is the sherpa's with the 13% light transmission...quite happy...worn the zeals on hikes, around town, and suitcase packed them without problems...the supplied bag while not protective is great for lens cleaning...get a protective case that can clip onto your packback shoudler strap...

The Maestros are ok. Fit a little loosely and slide too close to my face. Especially under a full-face motorcycle helmet. Amber tint is too mild. Almost unnoticeable. Prefer my Nike Tarj classics by far.

I just got a pair and love the fit an visibility on my medium-sized noggin'. However my pair shipped with a stripped frame screw and a little wiggle in one of the arms. Fortunately I can exchange them, no questions asked which I'm doing now.
