I stumbled on my first pair of Duco Sports sunglasses during a summer sale a couple years ago. I desperately needed new shades for summer driving and they were on sale for $15. I figure they were worth the gamble as it was only $5 more than the cheapo crappy plastic sunglasses you get at the grocery or drug store. But when I actually got these shades I was shocked how well made and high quality they were. First off, these are sunglasses that actually work. Not just tinted plastic. They block out significant amounts of glare from the sun reflecting of the road and on coming vehicles. Secondly, they are hard metal framed glasses. The frames are solid and after owning my first pair for 2 years now with nearly every day usage, none of the hinge screws have loosen/fallen out nor have the hinges given up their ability to keep the temple pieces locked when folded in! Finally, NO SCRATCHES to the lens after two years of constant usage. Im sorry that is unheard of to me when it comes to sun glasses. I havent had a pair go scratch free for more than a month before. I use only the micro fiber cloth that is provided with the sun glasses, sometimes using just a little bit of water and that kept my lenses looking like the day I bought them. On top of all this, they fit and look really well on men with larger heads. I am a ball cap size 7 3/4and these glasses fit perfectly snug enough to stay on with ease with very little, if any outward bending/stress of the temple pieces (but even if there was the frame and hinges can handle it like I mention before). Furthermore, I often receive compliments from people who also ask me what brand they are. The only negative I have is that the little maintenance screwdrive that came with my first pair didnt survive in my car during the California summer heat and fell apart while in the molded case. But considering one comes with every pair and the fact I never had to use one on my Duco sunglasses yet, Im not worry about it. Im sorry ,these sunglasses have no right to be only $22. Duco could probably sell these for $50 and they still be worth it. So should you ever see these go on sale, you should definitely jump on the opportunity. I bought the silver mirrors during the summer of 2016 for $15 and I recently bought a pair of the golden mirrors using a $5 off promo card that I discovered came with my first pair making that pair $17 and just yesterday I bought a pair of blue lenses/gun metal frame as a Prime Flash Deal for $16. Yes, Ive bought 3 pairs of the same sunglasses in different colors because Im THAT happy with them, and I pretty confident saying I going be wearing them for several years to come because theyre made that well while having enough casual style to last. If youre big headed guy who needs either shades for driving, ball games, or just any casual spring/summer day, you cant go wrong with Duco.
