proSPORT Leather Side Shield Sunglass Polarized Aviator Motorcycle Mountaineer Glacier Arctic Hiking Wind-Proof

I've been a devoted fan of Vater EBM of 242 for many years. Even of the mid 80's. Their defined look and appearance of their glacier sunglasses will never be mistaken. Always wanted a pair but, brand they wear is unknown. Had to vouch for these. They are great, fit well and nicely made!! Comes with a travel pouch. I highly recommend these for anyone looking for the 242 look.

I took these out for a ride on my motorcycle today after they showed up and up to at least 60mph, they were decent. My eyes weren't watering at all. They look alot better than the gas station crappers I've had for the last year. Thing is though, if you have a large, or larger than average face- they won't be for you. I have kind of a narrower or smaller face and wear smaller hat sizes than most guys and these fit me perfect. They're light, don't seem super durable, but just don't sit on em or bend the bows out too far, right? For 34 bucks, they'll be just fine for this minimum wage cat.

I really like the way they look & feel on me. I do have a larger head and they are a bit snug but it doesn't bother me. I will say that the strap which hold the side onto the arm came apart and I had to superglue it back together and this happened in the first week of wearing them. I was disappointed but I didn't see the point of sending them back when it was easy to fix. I glued it on the inside so know one can see it. I also understand that I get what I pay for and these were not very expensive. I could have bought a pair for over $100 and would expect much more from those. I didn't want to pay that ,much.

If I had written a review shortly after receiving my third pair of these sunglasses they would have received five stars.However, this is the third pair from same manufacturer/supplier that have broken, and not from abuse. All three pair break in the same location-at the hinge. Must be a design error defect. At the hinge joint the plastic becomes much smaller internally (although it appears as if the side arm continues into the hinge at full size) and this is its achilles heel. These sunglasses are a great buy at the price, if only they didn't keep breaking due to the design flaw. I am now searching for polarized sunglasses, but not from this manufacturer/supplier. Very disappointing product. I am following up on my review to advise that neither Amazon nor the Supplier have responded to my request for a Return and or Refund. So the service is a zero star for both parties; too bad neither party has seen fit to refund my purchase on a defective product.

The glasses are fine. I really bought them for the fake leather side attachments. They have already broken. The fake leather is very cheap and flimsy and not attached well at all. I'm glad I got the insurance because they broke about 2 months into wearing them. They are a little scratchy around your skin on your face too. They do a really good job of blocking side wind and dirt though. They do fog up.

Fits well, side panel help with sun sneaking in the sides which is key reason for purchase. Cool looking as well.

These replace a similar pair I had when living in Idaho, the lens size is a little larger than I like, but not real large ( 1 7/8" by 2 3/4") but I guess it is mostly unavoidable with the side shields, other wise, once they were broke in they fit well.(I found it helpful to remove the leather side shields and roll the leather slightly with my fingers to get the stiffness out of them) Enhanced vision clarity was surprising, and even though the lenses are rather dark they appear to allow good vision in low light situations. (the sticker on the lens said 400uv protection) I use them all the time and they don't fog up for me at all. They do block your peripheral vision of course, so you have to turn your head at times to see, but I have ridden a motorcycle for so long it doesn't bother me. One thing I did not like about the glasses was the leather piece between the lenses and the attach string which I removed and threw away replacing the attach string with real leather instead.

My eyes are particularly sensitive to bright sunlight and these help a lot when driving. I don't go anywhere without polarized lenses and these aren't bad at all for the price. The side panels work really well.
