Polarized Photochromic Driving z87 Sunglasses For Men Women Day and Night safety glasses

These glasses are great to drive with, work as advertised. I would buy again if needed.

I decided to give these a try and they are wonderful or me! They stay only slightly tinted whenever you are not in any direct sunlight and at night. I have a car with LED lights, and I have to drive with my fog lights on so I don't get high-beamed by other cars. I get it, my car's lights are a bit bright, but I promise it is only the low beams. I now only get high-beamed occasionally, but I see other cars (especially at night) with way brighter lights than myself and the occasional person who drives with their high beams and don't care. I like these for night driving, as the polarized glasses cut back the glare from oncoming cars. They fit comfortable and come with a case and rag for cleaning them. They darken fairly quickly when you are in the sun, as you can see with the photo I am including. The only thing that I had to get used to was seeing either side of the frames where the joints are in my peripheral vision all the time. It isn't a deal breaker for me, as I got used to it and I don't eve notice it, but others should know about it, as it is like wearing a helmet, as you can see the little joint on either side and see it move as you move your head from side to side, ha! That is just a minor thing for me, as these are comfortable to me and the arms (legs, whatever) of the glasses do allow for over extending for those with bigger heads, like me. The nose guards for the rest are made of a rubbery material, but they are comfortable to me.

I bought these to help with glare while driving a night to cut glare and brightness on today's super bright headlights. To this affect they do help some. While testing against my $200 polarized fishing glasses there is no comparison, as those (the $200 ones) totally cut glare and any "staring effect" from viewing oncoming lights or other glare. But then again, you can't wear darkened sunglasses at night :-). So, these are not too bad for helping out as they do cut SOME glare and since they are "transitional" they are fairly clear at night not to hinder darker areas where a contrast may cause an issue. I really have not tried out in sunlight to see about the transition darkening efficiency, and glare cutting. I gave these a 4 star strictly because not "fully" polarized. In-other words they do not totally restrict light passage when held at 90 degrees with a known good polarized set of glasses. I would say maybe a 60% cut of light. I feel if polarization was better the glare reduction would be higher. As stated above the slight reduction of glare at night is a only a slight help, but enough of glare reduction to keep me wearing them, as they do fit and feel good. These also seem to be "optically correct". In-other words, they keep the field of view and objects in the field of view in place when lifting up and down to "test" the efficacy of anti glare, and, as well as they do not increase the size of objects. Overall, not bad but not the "holy grail" for night driving.

After a relative narrowly avoided significant damage to her eye by a smashed pickleball that broke her sunglass frames, I decided I needed to get some protective eyewear for pickleball. At least half of the pros are wearing them full-time in light of how much faster the game has become in the past two years with increased athleticism plus much more powerful gen 3 and gen 4 paddles. I wanted glasses that would offer an ANSI Z87.1 level of anti-shatter protection plus had photochromatic lenses so I could wear them both indoors and outdoors. A search for those characteristics brought up these sunglasses and the reviews seem mostly decent so I made the purchase. These were a mistake. They failed in terms of fit, construction, and lens quality, and were not good safety eyewear for pickleball. I am returning them. PROS: - Very lightweight and comfortable. They were comfortable, didn’t pinch or squeeze the bridge of my nose or bother my ears the way some other sunglasses have in the past, yet also stayed in place well without sliding around. - Pretty stylish, looking and neutral enough in shape they would probably look decent on a broad variety of men and women. - Came with a semi – hard case that looks cheap, but was small enough not to be bulky and sturdy enough to offer adequate protection from crushing in most scenarios while in the pocket of a pair of shorts. CONS: - Not protective eyewear. The manufacturer included “Z87“ in the product title as clickbait, but there is no indication they actually are ANSI certified safety lenses. Further, they offer no real protection at the temples and the frames near the hinges are very lightweight and do not look like they could withstand much of an impact with anything. These are definitely not robust enough to appear able to survive being hit with a pickle ball. I suspect the lightweight construction would probably give out within a year of normal use just as a regular pair of sunglasses used several times a week. However, balancing the low price of these sunglasses versus the frequency that most people lose, scratch up, or damage their sunglasses, they may make sense if purchased with an expectation of only getting a year usage out of them.. - Smaller than represented. I have a pretty big head, wearing a large or extra large size hat, and the typical average sized sunglasses look too small on me. I took advantage of the virtual try-on option that Amazon offers on their cell phone app and these sunglasses looked to be adequately wide, and tall enough to fit my face well, at least based on the image on my phone taken with my phone’s camera. In reality, I would say these glasses were about 10 to 15% smaller than they looked in the virtual try-on app, were too small for my face, and were too small to provide full coverage for my eyes. They did not come down low and close enough to my face and were not as tall as shown in the virtual try-on app. - The photochromatic lenses did not lighten. Straight out of the box the lenses looked just a little darker than a regular clear eyeglass lens, and darkened significantly out in bright sunlight. They probably do not darken enough for a really sunny day on the water or anywhere one will encounter lots of glare, but should be dark enough for driving on a sunny day. The problem is that upon returning indoors to a much less bright environment, the lenses only lightened by about 50%. They did not lighten sufficiently for playing pickleball indoors, even after sitting for three days in a dark room. Note that there are several different variations in this model of sunglass, some of which have different frame colors, and some of which appeared to have different lenses, not all of which are photochromatic. I was very careful to choose the one that specifically stated it had photochromatic lenses. CONCLUSION: I was disappointed that these sunglasses really did not meet their description adequately as they simply were not sturdy enough to serve as protective eyewear, were smaller than represented in the try-on app, and the photochromatic lenses did not lighten sufficiently for use indoors. However, if you are looking for a lightweight comfortable pair of sunglasses for use in moderate, but not extremely bright sunlight for activities such as golf or driving, these would be a pretty good, low cost pair of sunglasses. EPILOGUE: After searching around more, I bought a pair of UKNOW photochromatic safety glasses here on Amazon, and they seem to be everything I was looking for in a pair of glasses for indoor and outdoor use playing pickleball. They are much sturdier and come with a removable foam liner for even further protection against impact. They are slightly wider and about 3/4 of an inch taller so they fit my face much better and, they darken up in bright sunlight just as well as these sunglasses do, but lighten up sufficiently for indoor use when taken out of bright sunlight. I have attached a couple of photos comparing the two sunglasses and you can see the significantly more robust, protective construction of the UKNOW glasses, as well as the difference in tint level after bringing them inside out out of sunlight.

I really do like these sunglasses. They are light in weight, not too dark, and hug the head nicely. Do you know how easy it is to lose sunglasses, and my prescription sunglasses cost $300. So I buy these for birding and fishing. I’ve had six pair and I just purchased two more on sale. Do they have fault? Yes. You can see that the rubber earpiece will come off in your helmet when you’re biking as you take the glasses off…so be careful. But, considering the price, and the fact that I have tried several different sets of sunglasses on Amazon, I didn’t subtract any stars because this is the best choice so far.

Really good sunglasses at a very reasonable price

へらぶな釣りをしていますが、10年前に1万円で外国製のイーグル何とかのサングラスを買い使ってましたが、サイズが合わないのとウキの色が鮮明でなく明るさも暗いので、今回試し買いをしました。昨日釣りに行きました。サイズもレンズの広さも明るさも自分の求めていたものでした。価格も安かったので大満足です。目が疲れません。

I use it to drive now in the winter time and it has helped me a lot to avoid the reflection of the snow. These glasses are very practical, lightweight and adjust to the size of my face.

They are reasonable value for money and nice and light but do not get as dark as we thought they would. They are very slow to respond and adjust to light changes like normal photochromatic lenses. They suit my wife, but not dark enough in bright sunshine for me and for driving. To me, they are more a fashion statement than a useful set of sunglasses to cut the glare of intense sunlight. My Polaroids are just exactly what I need and will stick with them.

La lente è grigio chiaro ed è polarizzata. Spero che sia vero che protegge dai raggi uv perchè la descrizione dice anche che sono fotocromatici, ma che ci sia il sole o che sia buio, le lenti non diventano ne più scure ne più chiare, nemmeno se aspetti un'ora
