The lens are surprisingly good quality.  Better than my expensive (non polarized) lens.  I'm hard on sunglasses (dropping them at least once a day) & decided to give these a try so I wouldn't be so irritated when they slam the floor.  The quality is great for the price.  I wore them walking & driving by a lake, & they felt great.  Images are very crisp through the lenses.  I got the brown tortoise with hematite looking stems - I don't like shiny gold, so I was really happy with the hematite look.  The glasses are lightweight & very comfortable.  I will buy these again.  Designed in Italy - made in China - lol.
