First off, these sunglasses surprised me—they feel way more expensive than they actually are. The metal frame has a solid weight without being heavy, and they sit comfortably on my nose without slipping (even when I’m headbanging to music in the car).

The polarization is legit. Driving into sunset glare? Gone. Beach reflections? Neutralized. Unlike some cheap shades that turn everything murky, these keep colors vibrant while cutting the harshness. Bonus: the included microfiber pouch actually cleans smudges without scratching.

Style-wise, they’re classic aviator but with a subtle modern edge—I’ve gotten multiple ‘Are those Ray-Bans?’ comments. For under $20, they’ve survived drops, sand, and being stuffed in my backpack. Only gripe? The arms are a tad tight if you have a wider head, but bending them slightly fixed that.
