A modern interpretation of a timeless classic, these glasses look great. I bought these for my wife as I lost her previous pair. Unfortunately I don't think Rayban (Luxotica) makes them anymore so it was difficult to find them in stores and didn't like all the other alternative classics I had. I have to say they definitely look better than the classics in some ways. They're also snug fitting, offering better overall eye protection without sitting too close to your cheeks like classic models to offer similar protection. It's not real glass, so it's more resistant to falls, but it can get scratched. The color gradient is very pleasant and the UV protection seems to be good. They are not polarized. They are generally excellent.
