Somethings wrong with the sunglasses market - theres really cheap trash and way overpriced Oakleys and Ray-Bans. Wheres the middle of the market? (Spoiler: Its here.) I usually use the surprisingly-decent $15 smoked safety glasses from welding supply stores, but my favorite model was discontinued and I lost my last pair in a moving truck. Then I lost its replacement in a Lyft. You can see why Im not dumb enough to buy $300 glasses, regardless of how wonderful they may be. I tried a $20 pair from Amazon that was trash and a $5 pair from a street vendor that was also trash. These are reasonably priced and have quality lenses. I drove a moving truck from New York City to Idaho Falls with these and was quite happy with the optical performance. The brown color is crisp, pleasant, and easy on the eyes. Theres no warping or distortion, and glare and reflections are low. The polarization is strong and even. The lenses return to mint condition with soapy fingers, water, and a quick blast from a rest stops hand dryer. My wifes prescription glasses with their overpriced coatings are much harder to get clean. I took one star off for comfort. The adjustable nose pads are a little too short, meaning I have to have them pinched too tight to keep the glasses from hitting my eyebrows. The ear pieces could have softer rubber; after driving all day I can feel the pinch. Im nitpicking, though. Ill definitely buy them again if/when I lose this pair. The included case, bag, and (cheap) visor clip are a nice touch. I primarily keep them in the visor clip.

I have a pair of cheap sunglasses Ive used for running, biking, hiking, etc. for almost 8 years. Ive lost them on two different mountain biking trails and happened to find them both times. At this point theyre so scratched, theyre barely useful, so it was time to get a new pair; I decided to get these Duco sunglasses. The very first thing I noticed was how uncomfortable the nose pieces are. They also are pretty narrow, but despite being narrow they dont seem to fit comfortably snug on my head. Im also worried about the durability of the lenses. The only positive I can say is that they do look nice. Ill use them as driving sunglasses, because I dont typically drive long distances, so theyll be comfortable enough for short periods of time. In the end, Ill probably try to find the updated version of my old sunglasses. Wish these couldve worked.

I loved these at first. Great fit and much better quality than most non-premium sunglasses. After about 4 months, the finish somewhere with either the nose bridge or the connection to the frame began to fail. I couldnt care less until I realized my sunglasses were tarnishing and every time I wore them, they would leave vertical green marks on both sides of the top of my nose. I would have rated 5 stars until I experienced the failure.

Something is wrong with the optical clarity. Seems like there is some distortion in the lenses. But they are super cheap so you get what you pay for.

The fit is perfect for me - I compared measurements provided on the product page against glasses and sunglasses I already owned beforehand... and found the actual sunglasses I received to be spot on. The tips that reach behind your ears are slightly adjustable, which is nice to get the right amount of "snug". I like that these are lightweight without feeling... and certainly without looking cheap. And "coverage" across my eyes was just right; I did not find them to look too big as some of this style sunglasses can be. I was lucky enough to buy these in a "gold box" deal, but even at current listed price, they are a bargain. I will be looking at purchasing at least one if not two more... different color lenses for different light situations.
