I bought these during the previous sale. These are decent sunglasses for the price. They look great, are comfortable, and the side shields help with reflections. They are assembled in the U.S. and the chromapop lenses, although polycarbonate, are great quality. I plan on using these for hiking.

Two negatives for me:
- The visible light transmission is very low which is great for when there is plenty of sun, but not so good for more variable light situations
- The tint is cool/blue which I don't personally like. I prefer neutral to warm tints on my shades.

Despite these negatives I kept them as they are a good value otherwise.

Edit: Mine are black gold ones.
Seriously, that same statement could be said about everything posted on this site. Is there ever a time when something is sold at a significant enough of a discount to warrant being posted here that doesn't have some reason for being on sale?
I have a similar pair of mountaineering sunglasses with side shields that I like to wear when it's very sunny and there's a lot of reflected light (nordic skiing, fishing, etc). Something important to keep in mind is these are polarized so you it's harder to tell the difference between snow and ice at a distance. I prefer non-polarized glacier glasses for this reason but these would be great for those who are GORP-core (*cough* me), spend more time in bright places with lots of reflected light, or want some more protection from the sides.

Chromapop is pretty awesome and I'm a fan. The color separating tech is becoming standard in the industry now and most brands have some treatment/filter/something that works similarly.

Edit: I'll add that I use glacier glasses for fishing, mountaineering, glacier travel, ice climbing, for bright environments, and the aesthetic. These are not the best for very high output activities (e.g., nordic, running), unless you are trying to prioritize lateral sun protection. I find the side-shades do cut down on air flow across the lens and lead to more fogging.

Are these supposed to be alternatives to ski goggles or something?

are these not beloved? Last pair I bought on sale like this were not.... great.... they were Chromapop with real glass lenses, but the glass lenses were a bit too heavy for the frames, so they easily fall off your face when you bend forward or move your head quickly.

Maybe because the end of the winter season? These look like mountaineering glasses.

I have a pair and they are awesome as fishing sunglasses. Especially out on a boat or kayak.

Really anything where you will be on snow and ice. The side blinders are to block indirect light reflecting.
