On vacation, I left a pair of Oakley Flak Jackets I have adored for the last year at a restaurant on the last night. Of course, the restaurant can't find them (a good tip for the waiter now), but I needed quick replacement sunglasses for daily use. Not feeling up to spending >$100 again, I looked for something with a good fit, decent eye protection, and no visible branding, as I prefer not to be an ad for whatever company. Nothing at Lowe's or Home Depot fit the bill; either they looked horrible or had a huge logo on the side or lens. I turned to Amazon and found these. They arrived in about a day, and the fit and finish is above what I saw on the in store safety glasses. The frame is solid, and fold without any squeaking that even my cherished Oakleys had. The temples are long as other reviewers mentioned. I have an above average sized head, but the long temples help hold them in place; they aren't going anywhere once they're on. I rated them 4 stars however, because there is a small amount of visible distortion on the edges of the lens where the frame meets the lens. My old sunglasses had none, but on a pair over $100 less, I can live with that. I'm going to order another set of this frame with a different lens, and a couple of other sets from this manufacturer, so I'm not going to be caught off guard by leaving a pair behind anymore.

They're not as comfortable behind my ears as my KastKing and Flying Fisherman sunglasses are. They also have a light tint. Therefore, I'll wear them only while I'm hunting or shooting. I don't know, yet, how scratch resistant they are.

These are the first sun or safety glasses I've ever purchased, and I chose wisely. They fit close enough to my face that they provide good protection, but they don't scrub my eyelashes like other glasses I've worn. The rubber nose pieces are very comfortable, and you can wear these glasses all day and forget they're there. I chose gray tinted lenses on a gun metal frame, so they look good enough that I wear them anytime I'm outdoors. The gray lenses really cut down on the glare outdoors, but they are a bit too much after the sun starts going down. I've taken them shooting one time already, and was able to see through my scope just fine while wearing them. It was the middle of the afternoon and fairly bright outside in the shade. The gray lenses might be a touch too dark if you were shooting in a dimly lit indoor range or near dusk. They don't interfere with shooting muffs. In fact, I like the way they go together, with my ear muffs holding these glasses comfortably in place while still blocking the sound of a rifle. The anti-fog vents will quickly clear up fogged lenses as soon as you get some air flowing over your face. They don't work if you're standing still unless there's at least a slight breeze. Overall, I highly recommend these to anyone looking for stylish and comfortable safety glasses at a decent price.

I use these glasses to Mt Bike. They don't fog up, they are very comfortable and they are bright enough that I can ride in the woods and still see.

Just order the AVANTE and the SOLERA ... They both look and feel good, on me and I really did not find any overriding preference or anything to hate, about either.

I have even forgotten which is which ... I also ordered severasl pair of their Highlanders and their V2G goggles ... ALL are good and are good values ... I ordered several lens colors ... I like the highlanders with the red lenses very much. The strap really helps me move in and out of stores, on shopping trips ... on and off the bus ... I like to park them on top of my cap (or hat) or I just pull the goggles down around my neck, when I am indoors.

I have owned Oakleys and Raybans, etc. and they just get lost or broken, anyway. I don't know why these less expensive (but attractive and effective) options just seem to last me longer. I have started to order the goggles in bulk LoL ... I always have them on hand ... in all my packs, etc.
