These sunglasses are comfortable, and have enough wrap-around to keep spray out of my eyes while boating. I have always preferred metal frames, so that is a plus for me. I have another pair of Suncloud sunglasses that I bought a couple of years ago, these are darker than the previous pair.

These are a pretty nice pair of sunglasses and compared to the parent company's product (Smith) they are pretty good and at half of the price of the name brand. They fit well and have a slight wrap-around fit which keeps them on when I use them during running and skiing. Plastic lens, but still has nice polarization.

The packaging is a different story... they are packed loose and throw in the box and thrown in with a few bubbles of cushioning. The first pair was I ordered came in a maroon color, but Amazon quickly replaced them. The second came completely flat and was also promptly returned. Third times a charm, they were not flattened, but had a little knick on the side, but it is pretty unnoticeable and of course does not effect the performance.

The initial order include a heavy item. These glasses are packed basically loose. No hardcase. So the first pair arrived in a condition near flat.

Returned them to Amazon and had another pair shipped to me solo. They are great. They fit well and the lenses are awesome. I have owned different Suncloud products over the years and haven't been disappointed.

These make an economical back up for regular glasses, or a daily pair.

Essential criteria for choosing sunglasses include that the sunglasses should block UV rays and be polarized. They should also be durable, scratch resistant, and comfortable to wear. Spring hinges are a definite plus. Glass lenses are too heavy and will scratch. Polycarbonate is, by far, the best lens material.
The Suncloud Optics Aviator Sunglasses have it all. They fit well, stay in position, and, being light, are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. I should also mention that they are stylish.
This is the best pair of sunglasses I have had. They are a good value for a modest cost. Highly recommended.

I don't typically write reviews, but this situation is a little unusual so I wanted to share. My son tried these on in a store in SC and they fit great and looked great on him. They seemed well made and come with a lifetime warranty which is always a plus. The lens had a scratch on it so we didn't make the purchase as that was the last pair available. He really liked them so we took all the information about the glasses and searced online. Found them on Amazon (they were cheaper than the store) and ordered them. Well that pair was HUGE!! They are described as "large fit" but this pair was made for someone with a really big head. The "arms" of the glasses didn't even come close to reaching his ears. Returned them and ordered another pair from a different seller on Amazon. While this pair (also described as "large fit") was smaller, they too were still too big so those were returned as well. I'm not sure why the same glasses with the same description are so varied in size but I called the store where we first found them and the proprietor told us she got them directly from the manufacturer. Maybe the other pairs were "bootleg"? I ordered a third pair directly from the manufacturer. When they arrive I'll post an update.
