...and they are singing: "...go get yourself some cheap sunglasses."

Make no mistake: cheap sunglasses is what these are. The four stars of this review is offered in the domain of "sunglasses that you can afford to lose without angst"...not ALL sunglasses.

They are also far outside of my own sunglasses wheelhouse. I like my frames plastic, my lenses small, my nosepieces stationary and my lenses non-mirrored.

These are metal--framed (silver) with oversize aviator-style lenses that give most people the look of a true psycho.

While I'm not big on overspending for sunglasses, I've spent many years in places where *quality* sunglasses are a non-negotiable item of your daily wardrobe, and learned to appreciate what good ones bring to your vision.

Although these are totally affordable (or "cheap sunglasses' if you prefer), their optics are satisfactory. I didn't notice any color shifts or obvious lens imperfections that distorted view.

But: they are metal, they are big, and even if you're not some kind of psycho: those who don't know you might worry that you are when your countenance is framed by them.

As long as you realize what they are, and manage your expectations: then these are OK if this look suits you...it's definitely not mine!.
