These are beautiful! I bought two different styles, and am very happy with both.I'm a designer sunglasses addict, and got these initially to replace a pair of green Oliver Peoples that finally aged to dust (they literally fell apart in my hands). I would've replaced them, but couldn't find them, even on eBay.These are a great alternative.That said, you very much get what you pay for, but not in a bad way. The polarization is a coating, as is the color, but as long as you take decent care of them, it shouldn't be an issue. Meaning try not to throw them around.They are extremely lightweight and comfortable, which is a plus. I had them on for nearly 12 hours once, and barely had an imprint on my nose.I have a larger than average head, and found the sizing to be pretty accurate.At the price point, it's a great purchase.
