They&#8217;re possibly the best pair of sunglasses I&#8217;ve ever owned &#8211; not to mention, coolest?<\/p>\n<p>First, the flaws (but not dealbreakers): they will make you look like you have some sort of special-needs eye-condition. Maybe this is a pro, not a con, but mislead other people about your vision requirements at your own risk. Also, you cannot wear them while driving, or cycling &#8211; the leather blinders knock your peripheral vision out, so unless you have a very fancy car with a lot of blind-spot technology, merging and checking for cyclists becomes challenging, and possibly dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>For everything else, these sunglasses can&#8217;t be beat. The lense quality is spectacular for a pair at this price. The leather blinders work well to prevent internal reflections or glare sneaking in &#8211; they are detachable, I suppose, if you really do want to drive with them on. The frames themselves are very lightweight and comfortable, and the arms have a great wraparound-ear feature that prevents them from flying off your head in strong gusts. This wraparound piece is made of a soft rubber, so it doesn&#8217;t hold too tightly &#8211; which means they don&#8217;t really rub, so they don&#8217;t bother you. I don&#8217;t know why more sunglasses don&#8217;t do this.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve used them while skiing, as very capable replacements for goggles. I&#8217;ve fished and hiked with them on, getting them wet and sweaty, and I&#8217;ve worn them just floating around in the pool while reading. The style might not be for everyone, but at this price, there&#8217;s not a lot to say no to.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lightweight traditional glacier glass<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26878"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26878"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26878\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26880,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26878\/revisions\/26880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
