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.
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.

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?

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