I bought these to leave in the car for driving. They are dark enough to shade your eyes from the sun, but not so dark as to decrease vision. The lenses do a great job of preventing glare, and color and clarity through the lenses is top notch. I like the bendable metal arms. They are easy to adjust so you don��t get that weird headache behind the ears. I am female, and like the looks of these. My husband has grabbed them off the dash and he looks good in them also. I have been wearing these glasses for about 6 months now. They have held up well to wear. There are no scratches on the lenses, and the frame holds its shap well. These glasses were delivered very quickly and packaged very well. I would recommend these sunglasses to friends and family.
