My heart sank when I opened the box. I was expecting brown sunglasses exactly like the picture. Instead, I ended up with really really dark brown, so dark in color, they look black. Still sad about that. However, they are very effective at protecting my eyes from the bright Texas summer sun. I don't like the color. But it's such a hassle to send them back. And like I said, they are extremely effective in keeping my eyes shielded from the sun.
