By On Lopez from Lopez Island Wa on 11/07/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Good Polarization, Good Protection Best Uses: Casual Wear, Driving, Special Occasions Describe Yourself: Comfort-Oriented, Modern, Practical, Stylish Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I ordered the Hobie sunglasses to wear after my Lasik eye surgery and they worked and looked great!
By Ig from israel on 10/17/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Comfort-Oriented, Practical Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The best optical quality of 3 Hobie sunglasses I've bought but still too low. Not suitable for anybody who want not only good frame, but also good lenses.
Great quality lightweight shades By Bambi from Portland, OR on 09/30/2008 Pros: Durable, High Quality, Lightweight Best Uses: Everyday, Sun and glare protection Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I love these sunglasses. I really wanted a large-lense, aviator-type style, so it was between these and another pair from Smith Optics (no longer available here).
What won me over was how lightweight these were - they fit perfectly and I can't feel them on my face (I don't usually like wearing glasses because of this). I forget they're even there when I wear them up on my head! The fact that they're so lightweight is also a definite plus as I have them in mind for a planned PCT thru-hike next year and every ounce counts. They come in a very sturdy, high-quality case, although I might have to trade it in for a lighter one.
I haven't exactly been careful with these sunglasses, but the polycarbonate lenses seem to be very durable and even after a month of regular summer use, haven't been scratched up in the slightest. I also really like the copper tint of these lenses. Everything stays true to color, crisp and bright with these, and the fact that they are polarized is a another plus.
The only downside to these glasses is that the lenses, although they're not unusually dark, are too dark for low-light conditions (this may have to do with the color of the lenses). As I really only use them under really bright, sunny conditions, it hasn't been too much of an issue for me.
Overall, this is a very high-quality pair of sunglasses that I'm really happy with. You definitely get what you pay for with these.
Good fit and feels comfortable By CD from Houston, Texas on 08/28/2008 Pros: Good Protection from the Sun, Stylish, Width just right Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The fit was perfect - usually I have a hard time finding a frame that fits my face. Unfortunately, it arrived in used condition: scratches and fingerprint smudges on the lens and crushed packaging. Looked like someone played hacky sack with it. Sent it back for a refund.
By Tuna Taco from CR on 08/26/2008 Describe Yourself: Casual Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Glasses are good for larger heads if their frames are straight
By Depot Lady from South Rim, Utah on 08/19/2008 Pros: Adequate Tint, Good Polarization, Good Protection, Lightweight Cons: Rubs on eyebrows, Sits on cheeks, Uncomfortable Best Uses: At The Beach, Driving, working outdoors Describe Yourself: Comfort-Oriented, Modern, Practical Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: While they seem well made with adequate tint, the lenses were just huge from top to bottom (width was just fine). Felt like I had dinner plates on my eyes ;} Wrong design for my face. Nice otherwise, though a hard case should be included with these more expensive sunglasses.
By Outsider from Detroit MI on 08/15/2008 Pros: Good Protection from the Sun, Rugged, Stylish Describe Yourself: Casual Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: For [$] you can't beat these.
By Axel from TN on 08/14/2008 Pros: Good Protection from the Sun Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use them driving.
By Ultraonon from San Diego, CA on 08/13/2008 Cons: Lenses are too small Describe Yourself: Professional Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Lenses are too small therefore, they allow too much light in around the perimeter effecting peripheral vission.
This defeats the purpose of wearing sunglasses.
I like, but I don't love these shades. By TKK from Norfolk, Va on 08/12/2008 Pros: Adequate Tint, Comfortable, Durable, Good Polarization, Good Protection, Lightweight, Scratch Resistant Best Uses: At The Beach, Driving, Special Occasions, Travel Describe Yourself: Career, Classic, Comfort-Oriented, Modern, Practical, Stylish Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: It ended up being a little blunt across the top. I thought it was going to be a little more rounded. It is not as feminine as I was hoping.
The tortoise shell is cool, but one of the temples is a different type of tortoise from the rest of the glasses.
The overall quality is good. It's a good price for polarized.
