Black Tactical Sunglasses With Wind Guard (Glacier Glasses)

I ordered these sunglasses to protect my eyes from sun, wind, and dust particles. Because of a medical condition, my eyes are extremely sensitive, and the 10380 Tactical Sunglasses with Leather Type Wind Guard "CE" seem to be doing the trick. They arrived a couple of days after the estimated arrival date, but I gave them five stars in spite of that. They were packaged securely and arrived with no damage. They fit my face perfectly, but I have a small face. For someone with a wider head, they may be too snug.The glasses are very attractive in an outdoorsy kind of way--hey, they're glacier glasses! They're very lightweight but seem to be fairly sturdy. I like the elastic cord--no more stowing my glasses, unprotected, in my purse. The wind guards are very stiff; I may try some leather conditioner to soften them up a bit. The lenses wrap around enough so that, even with the wind guards, I have excellent peripheral vision, which is essential while driving.I looked at a number of different glasses before choosing these--the price had a lot to do with it (under thirteen dollars), and they had a lot of good reviews. So, this is yet another good review. Great product for a great price--what's not to like?Update--It is April 22, 2013, and I've had these sunglasses for three months. I LOVE them. They're lightweight but sturdy, and the elastic cord is great. No scratches on the lenses, even though I wear them every single day (and early evening).I get compliments on these glasses nearly every day (even when they are hanging from the elastic cord around my neck). I don't think I knew they were polarized when I bought them, but they are--great for driving during the bright California daylight.Best sunglasses I've ever owned, for any price.

Foremost, I'm pleased that I went for these glasses instead of their more expensive counterparts, as I'll likely lose them before too long amid the rigors of the sporting activities they were purchased for. The tint of the glasses offers nice sun and glare protection, but also allow for clarity when clouds pass and in shaded areas at most times of the day, which is great when there isn't an opportunity to remove or change glasses. The leather wind protectors are of a decent weight-quality balance, and effectively block wind and fold well with the closing of the temples (arms). The glasses fit really well, overall. One comment about the temple covers (the part that goes over the ears): they are covered in rubber, and I find this to be a nice alternative to other glasses of this nature that feature ear hooks, which makes these glasses easier to remove quickly, when necessary, but snug. One comment about fitting: these glasses fit me perfectly, but they seem to run on the small side, so I'd caution anyone with a big head or wide face about choosing this style. FYI, these glasses measure about 14 cms across (from temple to temple), and about 4.5 cms from top to bottom of each glass.

Yep.These are excellent for people who break and mangle their glasses often. I have used these same glasses for many years. I tend to break or loose them about every month or two. I prefer them because they fit my face perfectly well, are light, and upturned make a great hair holder for me.The breakdown is 90% my fault. They’re not bulletproof but what is with glasses? 10% of the time you can trust a hinge going out rather early but that’s with daily wear. They will get sucked off your face in a moving river.They’re good in cold and icy environments. Good wind guards for the sides, I use them regularly to drive boats. They fog up a lot, thus I crack them down a bit on my nose and let them breathe. They fog up too much if you’re actually ice climbing. Aviation shades are better suited to that specific pursuit anyways.I have ordered 20 or so of these off amazon over the years and a few of my tourists gave them to me after a trip in Antarctica as a tip because they’d never use them again. They would of given them less rave reviews than me. But for cheap glacier glasses, they’re pretty good.But ditch the neck string, it’s crap as a system but a nice piece of string for another outdoor project that you need string. A few good bumps to your head will usually break them, but if you’re good at not bumping into doors or low hanging bits of glacier ice, high five.- Phil, Polar expedition guide

You get what you pay for with these... The sunglasses without the covers are okay and fit well but with the covers, they have issues of fitment as well as general quality as with mine, the upper left-side clasp that held the cover into the left-side lens keeps coming off. It's a minor annoyance that I can probably find a way to deal with, but again, you get what you pay for (and by-the-way, the image you see on the product page isn't very accurate--for mine, the lenses were MUCH darker to the point that they were basically black).

The media could not be loaded. This glasses are good for people with small heads. Even with a small head, they feel small.They feel a little fragileBut they do the job tho, they protect your eyes from the wind, sun and they do a good job,

These are inexpensive glasses that work perfectly well for a short time. I used these during a two week canal trip in the Bordeaux region of France- hardly a rugged or demanding environment. They lasted not quite two weeks of alternating outdoor bright sun and shade or interior light levels. Most of the time they were on the bridge of my nose or popped up over the crown of my head. Light duty use and complete failure at left hinge. Conchoidal fracture at hinge where there is a sudden and abrupt change in material thickness and sharp corners. Rookie injection molding design error and irreparable. Went back to my cheap gray smoke safety glasses. I won’t buy these again.

For the price, great glacier glasses. Simple and good for day hikes in the snow and ice.
