I'm a cross-country trucker and my Gargoyles are the best! Whether driving into the bright Arizona sun or the Washington mist, I'd be lost (blinded) without them. I can comfortably drive Westbound across the desert into the mid-afternoon sun without eyestrain. That's performance!

I recently bought a pair of these classic shades made in the mid 90's still in the box. This is when they were still made in the US. The outside of the ear piece have Gargoyles written in gold along with the emblem, emblem between the lenses is black, and on the inside of the ear pieces are written "Gargoyles Inc USA". I don't own a pair of the new ones made in CHINA however I imagine they're made to more or less the same specs. I just don't trust anything made in a foreign country, there comes a sense of appreciation when you're wearing original sunglasses and not their cheap knock offs.

I pair about $30 more for my pair but seeming these glasses went for $120 in the mid 90's I consider that a deal. And imagine that now these new glasses are only $40-$60, you have to think they've cut back on something, cheaper materials, less quality control... I don't know, and I don't care to. Also the silver emblem on the nose piece of the new ones really annoys me. I think it's distracting to anyone looking at you, all of my gripes about the new glasses are very small. However these glasses are half form and half function so I feel that they should look just as good as they perform.

If you want the originals look for black emblem on the nose piece and "Gargoyles Inc USA" on the inside ear piece. If you're really lucky and get an old pair you'll also see "Made in Italy" because thats where they were made pre 90's.

grate price for the gargoyles look all over the net and could not fined a better price.............

great product, no distortion whatsoever through the lenses, almost feel like you see better with them on, I use them for working on cars and while I motorcycle at night

I have been wearing these out of style glasses for 20 years and I love them. I hope they never stop production. Great service too.
