UPDATED REVIEW - WAY BETTER THAN I EXPECTED - These are the BEST!
For the price, these are OK sunglasses. I bought "Style A". They are not form-fitting as are many other brands. They have a good metal frame though, and with some proper bending (instructions are included), they can be made to fit a variety of head shapes. For reference, I am an average 5'10", 160lbs man, and upon arrival these sunglasses had NO contour to them - straight across - and the bridge fit poorly. After about 5 min of gentle bending, they fit OK now. Also, the lenses aren't very dark (as the photos make it seem). I like them enough to wear them daily, but I doubt I would buy them again.UPDATE: This updates comes a few years after purchasing my first pair of these sunglasses. I was rather critical in my original review but man, have I changed my mind on these glasses. The rating has been increased to 5-stars. I have always been somewhat of a sunglass snob - so I purchased the original pair of glasses to "beat around in" when I didn't want to wear a several-hundred-dollar pair of glasses (i.e., outside painting, working on a car, etc.). The sunglasses grew on me without even knowing it. I began wearing these glasses more and more to the point that I haven't worn any other pair of sunglasses in years. I have several thousand dollars of sunglasses just sitting in a drawer. These things absolutely rock. They are lightweight, contour to my face, are sufficiently dark, and man can they take a beating. Not a scratch anywhere on the glasses - lenses or frame - and I have not babied these glasses like I have my expensive ones. These have been dropped, hit, and everything else you can think of. Further, they have traveled with me across the country many times, and around the world. In bags, trays, on my head, in pockets.... and they have always come out perfectly! After several years with the same pair, I just purchased my second pair with silver mirrored lenses. They are as amazing as the original. For the price, I think I'm going to buy a new pair of the black lens model (which was my original). Not because there's anything wrong with the original pair, but you never know when you may need them. For the price, I can buy 10 pair and still come out ahead of the cheapest of my expensive sunglasses. @Bircen really knocked it out of the park with these glasses. Don't even give it a second thought... buy a FEW of them in different colors. You definitely won't regret the purchase. These are probably the best sunglasses I have ever had!

These are now my favorite sunglasses. Period.
So. I was already impressed with these glasses - they're really, genuinely lightweight, sturdy, and they're dark (which was my main requirement and the one thing I had trouble finding in countless sunglasses from Amazon and just generally in pharmacies over the years.But when I tell you they're sturdy... boy do I mean it.I had these on one day, and was working under the hood of a truck. I couldn't see much, so I took the sunglasses off and set them upside down on the airbox. I proceeded to finish my work, and then I went ahead and did the next thing one might do after finishing work that one does under the hood of a truck - I shut the hood. I got in and fired up the truck, only to realize my sunglasses were not on my head. After about 5 minutes of fruitless searching, I reopened the hood to find my crushed, bent, and disfigured sunglasses still sitting on the airbox, only two weeks old.Though somehow, the lenses weren't shattered - they'd simply bent outwards. I went about bending the frame back to its rightful position, and to my surprise, the lenes didn't even pop out of the frame - it all just went back together. I was quite pleased, to say the least, and continued to wear the sunglasses.I am not one to simply give up. So, literally two days later... I did it again. Exactly the same, shutting the sunglasses in the hood, only this time (and prepare yourself for this one)... I set them on the engine cover, not the airbox. With almost the same result, the lenses bent out and the frame was crushed, I was not so discouraged this time and set about bending them back to shape once more. To my great surprise, the lenses had not a scratch, and the frames and lenses were able to be bent (by hand) back to their original shape. Nobody believes me when I tell them that I've actually shut this particular pair in the hood of two separate trucks because I am an absolute baboon, because the sunglasses are still in perfect nick and I wear them every single day.Cannot recommend enough, especially at a smashing $25 - I've spent much more at CVS Pharmacy for far lesser sunglasses. So when I eventually kill this pair, I will be sure to replace it with another of the same.Update 9/14/21: I finally snapped the arm off the left side (the side I always grab from) and have returned here to buy another pair. In the meantime, these glasses saved my vision - a rock about the size of an AirPods case kicked up while I was on my motorcycle, clocked me in the cheek, and then hit me what would’ve been square in the eye, had it not bounced off these sunglasses. It put a hefty scrape in the lens but I continued to wear them for another 3 weeks after that incident until they broke today. Cannot recommend enough.

Seems legit at affordable price.
Just received them an hour ago. I wanted to test if they're truly polarized and UV protected using at home methods from YouTube as reference. But first.Frame.Pros:1) When in the closed position, the arms do not rest on the lenses at all.2) The temple hinges are well designed and have spring tension to it. They will swing outward to accommodate a larger face. Overtime, the hinges won't lossen up nor have a up and down slop.3) The frame is metal type and not magnetic.4) The nose bridge is metal wire type with rubber pads that'll rest on your nose. The wire is secured to the frame via small screws.5) glasses will not fall off your face should you have to bend over...(get your mind out the gutter)..hahaCons:1) The metal wire nose bridge can be bent side to side or pushed in closer to the frame from storage or regular use.Lens: Pros:1) lens appears to be fitted into the frame where it doesn't look like the lens will not pop out when dropped, etc.2) lens IS polarized. (Youtube how to test polarized and UV sunglasses at home). Simple test is to face your phone or LCD tv. Rotate your glasses in a circular motion and you should see where there's a light and dark view. Another test is to go outside and view a window pane at an angle. Doing same method, you should observe same results as above.3) not 100% sure if UV protected. I used a Olight UV pocket light and A California drivers license. Naked eye you will not see the thumbnail picture center of the license of your actual license picture. Using UV light, the picture is extremely visible. Using the glasses as a filter in between the light and license the lens blocked out the UV light maybe 80-85%. The thumbnail was still visible. I used my Spy brand glasses for comparison and it completely blocked the UV light. I want to mention the light was directly on top of the license during the test. I noticed if I shined the light off center to the license these glasses blocked out more UV. So not quite sure to make out of it.Cons:1) tapping on the lens, it felt like cheap material. Like a very thin polycarbonate.2) finger prints easily left on the lens.I bought these because I was looking for budget friendly quality glasses for a future trip to the Philippines. They fit well for my wide face. I will be abusing these glasses at the pool, at the beach and from everyday use in the heat and hope it stops raining. They seem ok for my purpose. I will give a follow up review after my 3 month trip in January 2023, if they still hold up.Hope this review helps you out. I would buy again for this price.

Looks Good!
Polarized, and a nice, subtle look that is not too flashy for me. Shape of the lenses are a nice middle ground between sporty and fashion imo. Strong feeling metal frame, and branding seems subtle. Packaging has a case, bag, and cleaning cloth. Has some colored bands on the sides, but I think it gives it a neat European-esk look haha, and again it is subtle. The lenses are smaller than those on my Oakley Holbrook's, which is what I wanted buying these; the Oakley's always seemed a little oversized on my face.Closest thing I have found to this pair: (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072MJNCBG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which was my go-to before they stopped selling it.

Peels off after a few months of use
First of all, I really like these pair of glasses. They are stylish, fit well, and sturdy (The frame). The biggest draw back is the polarized laminate that is used. The laminate peels off over time and makes the sun glasses unusable. It's made in china so i'm not expecting the world. If i could get at least a 1 year use out of these glasses it maybe worth it, but peels after a few months. That is really too bad, cause once again, i really like the look and feel.
