BIRCEN Polarized Mens Sunglasses for Driving: UV Protection Al-Mg Metal Sunglasses Lightweight Shades for Fishing Travel Golf

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.

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!

Durability: This product is definitely priced low for a reason with the quality, but isn't the worst on the market. I use these everyday and find myself having to clean the cheap frames often but I can't complain about the quality for the price. I could lose these and not care at all and they are solid enough for what you pay for.

Glass fits perfectly and the quality is spot on. I love the gun metal with the color on the stem. It is perfectly balanced with good clarity. This is my second pair. I only bought it thinking I’ve lost the original pair. Found it after I placed the order. I’m going to keep the second one too.

The mirrored finish lasted 3 months. Not bad. Fits my face fairly well. The polarisation could be stronger for my liking. I’m used to the RayBan New Wayfarer and I thought I would get these as a back up. The inside lens doesn’t have anti-reflective coating so the shine from behind can be a bit annoying, so you’ll have to decide if that is ok for you. Like some reviews have said, it’s not very dark. For the price I can’t really complain more than that, the build quality is fairly decent for this price point. Let’s see how long it lasts. 3 months. Bought it July 25, it’s October now. Mirror is all scratched and faded from cleaning

Perfect fit! My husband was extremely happy with these sunglasses! Great quality and sun protection for the price!

Overview: I used to purchase Oakley, Rayban, and other expensive glasses. I'd get about a year out of them before the lenses were scratched to the point where they were unwearble. I recently looked at just replacing the lenses for my Oakleys and it was going to be $80!!. Then I found these Bircen polarized men's sunglasses and they are now my first choice for inexpensive sunglasses. They offer exceptional UV protection, reducing glare and providing crystal-clear vision. They are stylishish, comfortable and affordable. The noes things can also be bent to your liking for a stable fit. These sunglasses combine fashion and function, making them a must-have for any sunny day. As far as visual clearly and sun blocking, I can't tell any difference between these and glasses that cost 10x. Quality and durability also appear to be the same. I ended buying 2 more pairs. They come with a carrying bag and a lens cloth. Pros: inexpensive, often on sale, easy to clean, and my baby blues are happy when wearing them. Cons: none

I have bought this brand for years with very good success, last pair I had for 7-8 years with little wear. When the earpiece had finally gave way I thought of these first so I ordered a two pack. One all black, one mirrored. After less than a couple months the mirrored finish started rubbing off, never happened with previous pair. Unfortunately the return window was closed and there wasn't a way to contact seller. I would think they'd want to know if the defect and make it right, very disappointing.
