these are great. They fit well
I have to say, these are great. They fit well, are comfortable, lightweight, and are optically very nice. I really like the way they fit right up against my face and have no blind spots. I got the Amber and I think I'm going to get another pair of the lighter yellow lens. The Amber is great for sailing, kayaking, and other water sports. They're good for driving when it's really bright out but I think I'd like some for when it's not quite as bright. They're good enough sunglasses at a good enough price that I see no problem with getting extras.The first pair I lost when I flipped my kayak in surf. I should've known better. The second pair that I replaced them with immediately I have a tether on.

1000+ 4.5star reviews, my comments below
Like most of my purchases on Amazon with a ton of 4.5 star reviews, you're not going to be disappointed - if this is the style you want.Pros:Great wrap/side coverage,Great for driving, no glare from light coming in sidesAll the benefits of vertical polarization (almost eliminates fatiguing glare, without being too dark)Comfortable, grips well at nose and earslenses in front of frames keeps them cleaner, vent on top of lens,Lens ans very minimal distortion, clear very crispOverall great design, wife says the somewhat bigger lenses look better for this styleGreat value for the price, convenienceSeems durable for what they are, (very lightweight glasses)Frame flexes well - son kicked them off my head in poolConsmore gap than I'd like at the bottom of lens (probably my face type, my raised cheeks just touch)Suggested improvements:Update Amazon product page, FF website has much better detail than the amazon page including pictures of the other colors - I got graySeems like adjustable nose pads (like ear buds) wouldn't be that hard to make and provide some customization. Similarly, an hinge adjustment could allow for a closer fit on sides of head. Both are picky an would likely come with metal (bendable) glasses.

Great sunglasses, low cost
Great sunglasses for the price. I buy a new pair every year or so as I do not treat them with care. Very little fogging, clear lens, good side coverage. I am a highway worker and have worn these for years to protect my eyes from dust and debris. Definitely reduce glare and ease on the eyes in all day sun. For fishing, they offer a clear view into the water. You will see the fish just below the surface. I rated 4 stars for 2 reasons. 1. The nose pieces eventually fall off, especially if they get very warm. They are easy to put back on. 2. When the frame is folded closed, the tip will leave a rub mark on the lens. Over time it is very difficult to remove and becomes permanent. Keep in mind, I treat them rough. I.e no case, toss em around, etc.

Good glasses. Glare reduction was my requirement.
Overall these glasses worked as I expected. I am very happy. So, I did not feel that I should ding a star just because they 'felt' cheap to me. The proof is in the pudding, as they say, and these glasses fit the bill perfectly.Here are my thoughts.My initial feeling was that they were cheap. No case. They came in a small clear sandwich bag. The rest of the box was filled with airbags. I wasn't looking for a case, but for 20 bucks.......... I would expect some kind of case.... or,, put them in a gift box or something. Even a cardboard box would have helped.... in addition to the Amazon shipping box.To be clear - the description did NOT mention a case, and I really wasn't expecting one. It's just that when I saw them in the clear sandwich bag... it kinda turned me off.The picture of the product on Amazon has the "Flying Fisherman" logo silk screened on the glasses. The product I received has the logo on a striip that is glued on the side. It kind of makes you think that the glasses are not 'personal'. Again, the feeling of cheap comes up again in my mind.Now, I received these exceptionally fast........... maybe the lack of a case? lolIt's a cloudy day so cannot check out right now.... so I thought.... see comments later in the review.Funny, was checking out the glasses in the bathroom… the blue walls actually looked blue with the glasses on… usually there is too much glare and the walls never look right.There is no distortion in the lens. Nice. I have a large head. They feel fine on the face. I saw some reviews mentioning that the nose guard gets in the way of the view.... not for me.Dimensions:5 ½ inch wide – to the side of the frame - 1 ¾ in high5 inch wide to the outside edge of the lenses – looking from the frontDepth 5 to 5 1/2 inches from the nose to the center of the ear rest. The frames go back about 6+ inches, but that last ½ inch or so is needed to hold behind your ear. At least that is the way I am thinking about it. Normally you want the glasses to land on your ear, and then curl down a bit so they don’t fall off.Front to back 6 ¾ to the end of the frame from the front of the lensesThey stay on your head….. tension is fine. And, the little dip after the ear rest also works nicely.Cloudy day – looked outside at my car… There is glare on the top of the car from my upstairs window. The glare was completely eliminated. The glare on the side of the car did not change noticeably.They look ok…. I felt the lenses were were a little too large. That is a personal preference only. As I looked in the mirror, I kinda felt that I had on those glasses that they give you after cataract surgery. But, my purchase was for the polarizing feature...........not on looks. Use the measurements that I gave you earlier to compare to your face/fit.Real world daytime test:I got these to stop the glare on my windshield from the large dashboard. Yes, they work great. I no longer seethe dashboard reflection. Polarize function works fine. I am a happy camper!!!!!I even use these on cloudy days now.I got the smoke color lens…. They are not real dark, but, they are not light either. You would not want to use these at night or dusk. For me they were just right.

I like the wrap around, no rim feel. No distractions or blind spots on the side. Durable, and effective, definitely recommend

Excellent quality
Bought these glasses for when I go fly fishing, and I can honestly say they are really good. Well worth it.

Ideal for Fly Fishing
The best thing I’ve found with these glasses is that they are very lightweight which is great if you are fly fishing for hours at a time, no discomfort and the anti-glare is good enough to face directly into the sun reflecting off the river too. I will definitely buy another pair if I lose or break this one!
