I read the reviews and and I thought I would give them a try since the price was right. I have to say, that I love these! My husband has a pair of aviators I bought him for $30. They are not near as well constructed as these. His are flimzy and they feel like they can break at any moment. If someone was to accidently sit on them, I'm 100% sure they would break. However, with these, I feel they can take a bit of abuse before they break completely. I like how they fit snug on my face so they don't slide off if I look down or turn my head quickly. They are dark, but it's not so dark you can't see when you are inside. The are as dark as the hold 80's plastic sunglasses. I love the mirrored look. Everyone comments I look like I stepped off the scene of Top Gun when I wear them!
