I don't know why but dark sunglasses are out of fashion right now, most you buy in the store are barely tinted and don't do a good job of blocking sun glare.

I got these because they looked darker than most, I was very happy with them, they are darker than other sunglasses I've bought in a while and hold up to not-so-gentle use quite well.  I've already ordered two (one for my car and one for my motorcycle jacket) and will probably be picking up another two.

Would be nice if I could get these polarized and have an option for a dark grey frame.
