Flying Fisherman San Jose Polarized Sunglasses Gunmetal/Smoke AD

Love these glasses! Throughout my life, I have never gotten accustomed to wearing sunglasses. I enjoy the bright, vivid colors of our world and I have never wanted to darken them with "shades". However, I recently decided to try sunglasses while driving on very bright, sunny days. I searched for quite a while to find glasses that I thought I'd be willing to wear. These glasses met all my criteria, including:1) Light lens color, not too dark.2) neutral color lens, not brown or green, which would distort nature's colors too much for me3) Polarized lens4) Silver or pewter color frame, not gold5) Slim frame, not thick arms which might block peripheral vision6) Full coverage of field of vision, limited space where bright light could slip inMy only concern before ordering was whether the unisex style would appear too large for my face... It does not. My husband really loves how these look on me. Also, at this price for polarized lenses, I wasn't expecting a quality product that would hold up to hard and frequent use. I was wrong again!These glasses really feel substantial and well-made. The frame is a polished pewter color that looks expensive. Instead of a sharp angle at the hinge, the frame makes a gentle curve around to the arms and really looks cool. Because the arms curve around, I would think this frame would work well for someone with a wider face. Unfortunately, however, this same feature is the only thing I don't like about these. This gentle curve means that the frame doesn't hug my head near the ear. Instead it hits the top edge of my ear, becoming uncomfortable with extended wear. I can reposition them occasionally to alleviate the discomfort. I'm thinking about taking them to my local optician to gently bend the arms to keep them from touching the ears, and yes, I like these enough to go to this trouble.Bottom line? Still love these!If you find the information in this review to be helpful, please click "yes". Thanks!!

Let's be honest, that's not top quality sunglasses, but they'll do what I expect them to do.Pros: They're really polarized, the description fits reality (size, color for frame and glasses), metal frame, seem solid.Cons: a bit heavy, rubber nose pads aren't comfortable.The same quality is available for 20$-25$.My final note would be between 4 and 4.5 (out of 5, depending how long they'll last).

I rated these flying fisherman polarized glasses gunmetal with smoke lens (5) stars because they are excellent quality and inexpensive but I need to relay this additional info to other potential buyers. After initially wearing them for a whole day the tops of my ears ached a bit because the padded type arms where they meet the ears is thicker than what I am used to. I am sure I will get used to it but worth noting nevertheless. Also, these are polarized. Anyone not used to polarized glasses (I wasn't) should expect some differences. Our Nissan has had the side windows tinted with a dark type tint and when I wear these glasses and look through the tinted windows, I immediately noticed that all other vehicles have a discolored kaleidoscope/color changing effect going on. The only thing I can figure is that maybe the vehicle tint is also polarized thus the double polarization is causing this effect. Worth noting but I still really like these glasses. Purchased March 2014 for 18.22. I saw them before for 16 dollars and then they went up right before I ordered.*******************************UPDATE 3/24/2014I have had these for over a week now and have noticed a few more things to note about the glasses I have. There seems to be a flaw in the left lens. It is a faint blurred area in the bottom of the lens and can be seen easily if you look left and to the bottom when wearing these glasses. Also, the same lens has another blurred/glare spot at the extreme left if in the sunlight just right. Irritating a bit but these are still pretty nice and I will keep them. Maybe they are selling off the flawed glasses here?

OK, my expectation might have been too high or I don't know but I'm not happy at all with the quality. The image is accurate but the quality isn't any better that the ones you find in Walmart, currently (I checked before I got these ones). These are maybe worth $18 instead of $15 like the ones in Walmart but not more. So, the price isn't right for this quality. The old ones, that I needed to replace, I got from Winners 2 or 3 years ago. The quality was amazing compared to what I've found this summer and they only costed $15. I don't know, many seem happy with the quality. I just remember better days, I mean, a couple of years ago, not half a century.Update:Apparently I never had polarized sunglasses before but now I wish I never did. Although not a stranger to the concept, you realize you can't rely on seeing anything on any LCD screen when you wear polarized glasses. I don't get all the hype around polarized glasses. The only place where it might make sense to have this effect protect your eyes is while fishing. Hence the purpose of these glasses, but otherwise, I really don't think I'm gonna like this at all. So far, I hate it.

la visión es excelente, te protege muy bien de los rayos del sol con una visión clara incluso los puedes usar en interiores sin problema. el único detalle que no me agradó es que vienen en bolsa de plástico sin estuche o bolsa de tela
