Review on ๐Ÿ•ถ MVMT Tortoise Polarized Rectangular Sunglasses by Andrew Krishna

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Product looks great BUT.

I'll start with the positive. The product looks good and the quality seems quite high for the price. They're definitely not cheap, but they still "beat their coverage" in value. Easily on par with more expensive brands. My only "complaint" about the quality is that they needed cleaning when I first took them out of the box. They had a kind of powdery/chalky texture that I believe was left over from the manufacturing process. However, wiping with a damp paper towel did the trick and they looked great. Let's get to the negatives. First of all, I would probably miss the polarization if I bought it again. It's only $20 more so it's not really going to break the bank or anything, but it does seem like the polarization is applied unevenly to the lens. Bringing the lenses to a completely white screen background I can see that on the left lens the polarization is "speckled" or even absent in some areas while the right lens is much better, but there are still some spots where the polarization is not even correct. I'm a bit disappointed with it, but haven't noticed any functional benefit from it yet. It remains to be seen. Second (and this isn't a defect or anything, just a design intent I wasn't aware of before buying) they're quite wide, which looks great on a broad face like mine, but they often actually fall right off my face, or at least from my nose when I look down quickly. Likewise, if I put them on my head and look up, they will fall right off my back. I have a very large head so I'm not used to this problem. Although they look fantastic, which makes up for a lot of shortcomings.
