Serengeti Nuvino Polar Sunglasses

Serengeti makes the nicest, clearest lenses of ANYONE! Even Maui Jim pales in comparison! Not sure why they aren't far more popular. Perhaps it's a marketing thing. I just don't know. I do know this: I have a pair of $350 MJ's with glass lenses and they ARE nice BUT I just did a side by side comparison of them and these Serengeti drivers and the Serengeti's are every bit as clear as the MJ's. Seriously, I put the MJ's on, then the Serengeti's then repeated the process several times in different light situations and the polycarbonate (plastic) lenses of the Serengeti's are as clear or clearer than the heavier, glass MJ's. I have never seen such clear polycarbonate lenses in my life and I've tried them all. Serengeti sure did something right! Even the MJ polycarbonate lenses don't hold a candle to the Serengeti lenses. I did the same test with the MJ pc lenses vs the Serengeti pc lenses and the Serengeti's win by landslide. Half the price and better shades. The biggest no brainier in the history of Sunglasses, just find the right fit for your face and you'll be happy, guaranteed!

Bought these sunglasses 10 months ago and won't ever buy them again. The coating is very defective. It has fissures all over the lenses. When you put them on everything becomes blurry it's so bad. These have always been carefully cared for, cleaned with the special cloth and kept in their case. The fault is not in the way they have been cared for. I'm not telling you what to buy, just don't buy these. I've attached a photo. In the lower left of the lens you can really see the cracking well. Both lenses are completely covered with these cracks.

For the first few months of having them, I was delighted. They're very light and the optics is excellent.Why the low score then?As others mentioned before, these wonderful sunglasses have a design flaw, causing the coating to ripple around the connecting points and deteriorate with time.This will happen to anyone, no matter how much they care for their sunglasses. Mine are in mint condition, not a scratch on them, except for the falling coating, of course.If you don't mind buying sunglasses that will last only a few months of use for around 100$, you'll love them. If you're like me and would like to use the sunglasses for more than one summer, don't get near them.

These glasses work well. Lightweight and the polarization is nice. I can't say I've noticed a lot of the photochromic effect working. I wear a size 7 hat. After awhile the ear pieces seem a little too snug. I wish there was a way to loosen them a bit. And, as I've seen in other reviews, they have some type of almost sticky residue on the face side of them so when you go to try and wipe them you have to work at it. The cloth doesn't easily slide across them to wipe dust off. I haven't had that on other glasses from other brands. This is my first pair of Serengetis

Serengeti is my goto for quality sunglasses - but I've not needed a pair in many years. I bought these to be for athletic activities - so glad they are light and stylish. What I don't like is they seem very fragile and generally feel like a pair of plastic store bought sunglasses. Also, in the past Serengeti would provide a hard sided quality case - for these I got a semi-rigid plastic case with a zipper that now doesn't work 1 month after purchase. So the glasses are ok - the case is a little weak; and generally it appears that Serengeti quality isn't a standout compared to it's peers like it used to be. You can buy these - but I'd compare to other brands as well.

The Serengeti Nuvola Sunglasses with polarized PhD Drivers lenses are excellent and stylish eye protection. Glare is greatly eliminated, the fit is good, and the glasses are particularly light weight and comfortable.The tinting is pleasant to look through and gives everything a bright look without glare or eyestrain. Compared to normal sunglasses, the Driver's lens reduces glare while actually making it easier to see things. Normal sunglasses just cut down incoming light, but don't always work well for driving because they can actually significantly reduce contrast. These sunglasses work a bit differently--cutting down glare but making sure contrast aids your driving vision.The only minus I see is that the glasses may not be wide enough for some faces; you should try these on in a store unless you are sure that these glasses are the right fit for your face.

Serengeti makes the best sunglasses for optical performance - that's why they're popular with pilots. Most of their line has glass lenses, but these are what they've branded as PhD lenses, a form of plastic with similarly good optical qualities. I'm not comfortable with putting glass in front of my eyes, so these were the best option. Plus, they're super light.My previous pair of these (which broke because I sat on them) were about a year old and showed no scratches. (I'm careful, but my other glasses with plastic lenses have always gotten scratched, so I'd say they're fairly resistant.)

Fantastic sunglasses, very lightweight great for drivingword of warning, they are medium/small - too small for largish men - hence my wife snaffled them immediately and is delighted with my purchase

Lovely

Good looking, very lightweight (which is important for comfort on the nose), seems robust so far.I'm happy with the choice.Only small downsize is the case, since it's so bulky and big...

Beautiful glasses which my wife loved - and a very reasonable price

Dopo poco dall'acquisto le lenti hanno cominciato a scollarsi in basso(sono una sopra l'altra per la polarizzazione) ora sono da buttare. Ne ho un altro paio acquistati in ottica e dopo 6 anni sono ancora perfetti dopo stesso utilizzo. Evidentemente erano a prezzo così basso perché già seconda terza scelta. Se li acquistate controllateli MOLTO attentamente.
