KastKing Hiwassee Polarized Sport Sunglasses for Men and Women, Wrap Sunglasses for Fishing Cycling and Running,UV Protection

Bought these mainly to use when sailing. I've only worn them twice so far, but they seem great. * Good, comfortable but secure fit on my normal sized head. I've never wished they were tighter or looser. * The polarization is great -- reduces glare from the water, but I can still read important things like my iPhone screen and digital instrument readouts. * Light reduction is a little stronger than what I believe is average. They're great on the water in bright sunlight. They would probably be great snow skiing on a sunny day, too. I have never wished they were darker. Although I haven't used them in cloudy or partly cloudy conditions yet, I suspect they might be too dark, but they might surprise me. * I can't say anything about scratch resistance or durability at this point. If I notice anything that isn't satisfactory, I will update this review. One thing bothers me a little: The description I read before buying them led me to believe that the blue mirrored lenses were neutral in color. Not so for me. The blue mirrored lenses I received give everything a definite brownish or light rose colored tint. That's not a deal breaker for me because the color does an excellent job of increasing contrast, and I think it might even make them work well on cloudy cloudy days. I quickly adjusted to the tint, and it doesn't bother me. I only point it out because it could be a deal breaker if color accuracy is important in your application. All in all, great quality for the price. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better value in polarized sport sunglasses anywhere.

These are very nice shades. No slipping off the nose or from the ears. Very well fitting, stylish and comfortable. Lightweight and comes in a cleaning cloth bag with sturdy your case. Use the clean cloth bag to keep your lenses clear and your vision optimal. These are made for bright sunlight situations so choose a different tent for afternoon evening or night driving.

Sunglasses are usually hit or miss, either they are really terrible and mostly only look good but function poorly, or they are everything you wanted and worth every penny. These glasses fall almost somewhere in the middle but lean more towards the positive. The sun protection could be a little better but for the price you can't really find a better pair. It blocks the sun decently enough but if you have photophobia (sensitivity to light more than normal) then it's only going to be a partial gamechanger. I've got an issue with light sensitivity to the point that in normal light I tend to squint so much that it causes a pretty severe headache. I find these glasses to be sufficient enough to use while driving without detracting from my vision at all, but in direct sunlight or outside of a vehicle then they do not perform as well as I would like them to, but for the price I seriously doubt you can find a better pair. The frame and overall design is nothing really special but they are very lightweight and provide a nice, snug fit. The nose guard is a little bit uncomfortable and I find myself shifting them a lot up and down to provide a bit of relief. The glasses also have a decently snug fit around the side of the head and are decently comfortable on the ears. They do not slip or move around much at all when you're heavily sweating and seem to be good for any activity. The entire frame seems to hold up rather well against squishing, pressure, or any other form of physical abuse within the scope of normal use. Again, for the price, seriously doubt there is a better option. Lastly, as far as the lenses and their durability is concerned, it's satisfactory at most. They smudge extremely easily (I have the mirrored blue version) and look like require constant cleaning--which they do if you accidently touch them even briefly and lightly. I tend to take care of them more than I have other glasses in the past so I have not gotten any scratches on the lenses yet. For that, I recommend keeping them in the microfiber pouch that they come with at the very least, and then in the hard case they come with for extra protection when not in use. Even when I make every attempt to keep my possessions in good shape and take proper care of them, I often fail at this--these glasses are no exception to this and have held up better than I would have thought at this price point. As far as polarization is concerned they are pretty flawless. I can definitely see a lot more than I would be able to in non-polarized glasses, and even have better polarized lenses in glasses that are $100+ that I normally purchase and then quickly regret. If you've read this far then I'll keep it short for a quick end: these glasses provide far more value than you'd expect for the cost. I would buy these again without a moment's hesitation, and probably will do so when I lose or break these like I do every pair of sunglasses. I am not disappointed by these sunglasses even one tiny bit.

I've had these for almost 3 years now and they are great. They have been used and abused, put into pockets, dropped, and hit on things. The lenses are very durable and are very scratch resistant. The hinges also feel solid without feeling too rigiid. They fit my head well and cause very little discomfort even afster long periods of time. I cannot belive how great these are for the price.

Great glasses for sports make everything stand out clearly with a rich texture !!!!!light weight and very comfortable I use mine for softball golf and driving !

Very good quality for the price. Great for conditions where it is lighter sun, and you want to still have a beautiful view of the world. The coloring of these sunglasses actually makes things look prettier and clearer. Nicer greens. I have a pair of darker sunglasses that I interchange with these for high sun conditions.

Nice quality, sturdy construction. The color I chose does not cut the glare like I had hoped. They work great as sunglasses but for fishing another color would probably be better.

As an avid flats fisherman, being able to have a good set of optics to see what is going on in the water is paramount, but so is being able to wear those same sunglasses for everything else that I do - driving, gardening, sports, socializing, etc., and these sunglasses fulfill that requirement and more. I have an expensive pair of high-end sunglasses that the wife got me for a present, and frankly every time I wear them, there's always a lingering fear that I'm going to damage or lose them, which restricts when I will wear them. So, after a lot of research to try to find the holy grail of sunglasses - quality and performance without an inflated price tag - I bought a pair from KastKing. Somehow these folks have been able to come up with sunglasses that offer great performance, are extremely well built, comfortable, and don't break the bank - so much so that you can buy 5 pairs of these for the price of one pair of those high profit margin glasses that sponsored TV fishermen are always telling us we need! These things have it all: polarized lenses, impact resistant, lightweight, durable, and comfortable, and thanks to 100% blocking of the harmful UVA and UVB rays I should be at least seeing what I am not catching well into retirement. On top of that, they come with a convenient soft bag that can also be used for cleaning, a separate hard case for protection, and they are a company that stands firmly behind their product. I just wish I had found them earlier!
