Don't let the picture fool you

I bought these glasses to replace some rudy project flip glasses I had been using. My hope that these being polarized and "mirror" they would be darker than the rudy project glasses I had. In reading the description and reviews I figured they would be fine but once they got here I was disappointed.The packaging was simply a plastic bag with plastic sleeves over the ear pieces. Once out of the plastic I found that I could see right through the "mirroring" from the front. I thought well maybe it is just the indoor light that is causing that. When I tried them on they end up making things brighter and not darker but the polarizing did do a good job of cutting down on the glare. I decided to give them a try for few days and I am still not happy. In full sunlight if you look just right you can see through to your eyes. To me if they are truely mirrored sunglasses you should be able to not see through the glasses from the front like you can on these. Also I find that the only thing that helps to cut the light is the polarization of the lenses. In my opinion they actually make things brighter that they normally would be.As for fit they do fit great albeit a little tight but I don't mind that as I like my glasses to stay on when I move about or bend down to pick someting up. Also when I prop them up on my head or put them on backwards when I am indoors they stay in place better than other glasses I have had in the past.I am not sure if I am going to keep them or send them back. I might keep them and look for a pair that has a truely mirrored coating since I don't want to pay for shipping and the amazon restocking fee.
