These look to be popular the last time they went on sale. Anyone actually tried these? Curious about those Frames they advertised how well they hold up.

aluminum glasses tend to be very sturdy and have spring hinge. The back of the arms or the temple tip is also bendable for adjustments. The lenses at this price should be TAC lenses which are polarized for sun protection although the optical clarity is not good. There is also no anti-reflective coating, which is essential to block the light that bounces off the backside of the lens and into your eyes. I would almost never wear anything without anti-reflective coating as a lot of eye damages are from the back reflections.

It is great price though for a backup emergency pair, but spend just a bit more money on polycarbonate polarized lens with AR coating for better eye protection if you can. From a frame manufacturer/optician.

Anti-reflective coatings actually cause the back reflections to the eye. " Antireflective coatings can increase UV exposure by causing back reflection of the UV rays into the eye." https://www.columbiadoctors.org/n...-your-eyes

I ordered a pair of Gunmetal with black lenses, they are surprisingly higher quality than the $10 price tag would have you believe. I have a big head and they look a tiny bit small on me. Even so, I ordered another pair. Unfortunately the 10% coupon has expired, but the $12.50 coupon still works, and that's a good enough deal for me.
Thanks for sharing!
