SODQWMens Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses, Aviator Sport Driving Sunglasses, UV 400 Protection with Large Metal Frame

I needed glasses for bike riding when I start out in bright sunlight and come home in darkness. The color distortion is weird, everything looks normal, except reflections off car windshields and puddles in the road look mellow yellow. I feel like I’m living in an alternate reality, but for me it’s kind of delightful. Not for everyone, apparently. These photochomatic lenses need ultraviolet light to darken. If you are wearing them in a car, the safety glass in the windshield has plastic imbedded in it which, besides keeping the glass from turning into deadly shards if it’s broken, but it also blocks ultraviolet light. Your glasses may not darken in the car, but the polarization will still work. This is more appreciated in a car because you may be traveling for a long time behind a vehicle that’s reflecting chrome back in your eyes, and without polarized glasses, some people get migraine headaches. Not so important on a bike. Yellow is better when the light gets darker because it blocks blue light (somewhat) and allows better night vision.

I have not yet used these. I bought them for a beach trip which is still a few weeks away. I was shocked to get them so fast in the mail. Not even 2 days, and I do not have prime shipping. I will try to update this after I do wear them a bit.Unboxing:First I noticed it came in a very nice box. Fairly soild. Inside the box (pics included), I found the sunglasses, a cleaning cloth, a soft bag, a thank you card, instructions for care, a small flashlight that I believe is a blacklight (though I'm unsure as why it was in the box, none the less my cat and I like this new tiny light), and a test card. I was surprised at the many items. It was more than I'd thought I was getting.First impression of wear and testing transition:I do think they are a bit big on my face, I am female. That won't stop me from using them. I also think sunglasses look weird on myself.These have the classic aviator style. I like the color of the frames.I used the test card to check the polarization, and it indeed worked.I then went outside and tested the transition. It also worked. They did not get super dark in my photos, but the sun is not exactly filling out at the moment. But they did transition as they should.Shipping:As I mentioned, very fast shipping. Very happy about that.

These are lightweight, comfortable and inexpensive. The polarization is a plus. However, they do not darken enough in bright sun.

This is false advertisement. These glasses are barely photochromic. They have almost exactly the same darkness whether they are indoors or under the sunlight. It is not acceptable. I own other glasses with photochromic lenses and these ones are not. Let me be clear: they have almost the exact same color: they are light grey in the dark, and also light grey under the sun, not dark enough to be even considered sunglasses.

They're built pretty nice, but they don't really darken, and if they do, it's so little you don't even notice it.

Great value sunglasses with great features. Photochromatic lenses great for someone who does not like to hidden behind black glasses. Very comfortable going in and out with glasses on.

The photochromic effect is slow to darken with UV and bleach with IR, but this is true for all glass photochromic devices. I like the polarization to eliminate glare, the small uv light to demonstrate the darkening, and the test strip with the invisible picture. The glasses could be worn at night as they are mostly transparent without UV light.

The media could not be loaded.  These glasses have a nice light resting tint but unfortunately they don't change to get any darker in increased sunlight as advertised. Pros? They are polarized, made of metal, have spring loaded hinges, seem sturdy, comfortable. But unfortunately the Con was the most important thing to me & these are just simply not Photochromic. My video pretty much says it all. Not bad for 12 bucks, but I will be returning these.

Me parece un producto de buena calidad bien empacado y llegan en muy buen estado con todo y sus accesorios no eh tenido oportunidad de verlos full oscuros pero si "transparentes" y grises reaccionan bien. Esperaba usarlos en la PC por el filtro de luz azul pero aveces hace reflejos no es mucho pero aveces estorba
