Flying Fisherman San Jose Polarized Sunglasses with AcuTint UV Blocker for Fishing and Outdoor Sports

I can't believe how nice these sunglasses are, especially at this price! I never expected sunglasses priced under $20 to get so many compliments. They're quite solid feeling, especially for sunglasses at this price point, and they fit and stay in place quite nicely. Also, despite being metal frames, I find they are quite comfortable to wear for long periods. I did have to spend about 10 minutes making minute tweaks to the nose pieces, to get them to sit properly on my face, but after that, they're perfect. If you end up adjusting the nose pieces like I did, I recommend using a fine pair of needle-nose pliers and making tiny, almost imperceptible adjustments, since the more you bend metal the more it weakens. Just make micro adjustments, try them on again, micro adjust again, try on again, rinse/repeat as needed until dialed in. I bought these primarily for driving in low-light situations, for both the added clarity of the amber lens, as well as the headlight-glare-cutting capability of the polarization, but have found myself also wearing them around town during bright sunny days. Despite being amber lenses, they cut the sun's brightness quite well, while making everything a bit more vivid and clear. I would definitely recommend these to a friend and will surely buy again.

I was very pleasantly surprised at how nice these glasses were in terms of quality. The metal frame is very solid and the lenses have good optical clarity. I was looking for some new glasses because the dark smoke lenses on my Oakleys and Under Armours were too dark. I was especially looking for something that would work well for golf as well as a lighter everyday lens. These really fit the bill quite nicely. They are still a little darker than I thought, but with the amber lens it doesn't seem as dark. They also fit very snugly to my face, so they work well for activities like golf where traditionally you would want a sportier style. I like the clarity and color of the lenses for golf. I have an easier time of following/finding my ball as well as reading greens with these glasses. While they are not as good as Oakley Men's Flak 2.0 XL Polished Black w/Prizm Golf Sunglasses , they are about nine times cheaper. They are good enough for me and hard to beat at the price. I have a big fat head, as you can see from the pic. These fit me just fine. Edit: I liked these glasses so much that after accidentally breaking them, I ordered another pair.

Love these glasses! Throughout my life, I have never gotten accustomed to wearing sunglasses. I enjoy the bright, vivid colors of our world and I have never wanted to darken them with "shades". However, I recently decided to try sunglasses while driving on very bright, sunny days. I searched for quite a while to find glasses that I thought I'd be willing to wear. These glasses met all my criteria, including: 1) Light lens color, not too dark. 2) neutral color lens, not brown or green, which would distort nature's colors too much for me 3) Polarized lens 4) Silver or pewter color frame, not gold 5) Slim frame, not thick arms which might block peripheral vision 6) Full coverage of field of vision, limited space where bright light could slip in My only concern before ordering was whether the unisex style would appear too large for my face... It does not. My husband really loves how these look on me. Also, at this price for polarized lenses, I wasn't expecting a quality product that would hold up to hard and frequent use. I was wrong again! These glasses really feel substantial and well-made. The frame is a polished pewter color that looks expensive. Instead of a sharp angle at the hinge, the frame makes a gentle curve around to the arms and really looks cool. Because the arms curve around, I would think this frame would work well for someone with a wider face. Unfortunately, however, this same feature is the only thing I don't like about these. This gentle curve means that the frame doesn't hug my head near the ear. Instead it hits the top edge of my ear, becoming uncomfortable with extended wear. I can reposition them occasionally to alleviate the discomfort. I'm thinking about taking them to my local optician to gently bend the arms to keep them from touching the ears, and yes, I like these enough to go to this trouble. Bottom line? Still love these!

I rated these flying fisherman polarized glasses gunmetal with smoke lens (5) stars because they are excellent quality and inexpensive but I need to relay this additional info to other potential buyers. After initially wearing them for a whole day the tops of my ears ached a bit because the padded type arms where they meet the ears is thicker than what I am used to. I am sure I will get used to it but worth noting nevertheless. Also, these are polarized. Anyone not used to polarized glasses (I wasn't) should expect some differences. Our Nissan has had the side windows tinted with a dark type tint and when I wear these glasses and look through the tinted windows, I immediately noticed that all other vehicles have a discolored kaleidoscope/color changing effect going on. The only thing I can figure is that maybe the vehicle tint is also polarized thus the double polarization is causing this effect. Worth noting but I still really like these glasses. Purchased March 2014 for 18.22. I saw them before for 16 dollars and then they went up right before I ordered. ******************************* UPDATE 3/24/2014 I have had these for over a week now and have noticed a few more things to note about the glasses I have. There seems to be a flaw in the left lens. It is a faint blurred area in the bottom of the lens and can be seen easily if you look left and to the bottom when wearing these glasses. Also, the same lens has another blurred/glare spot at the extreme left if in the sunlight just right. Irritating a bit but these are still pretty nice and I will keep them. Maybe they are selling off the flawed glasses here?

After trying MANY different sunglasses (see below) I ended up buying two extra pair of these for spares in case they stopped making them. I go through sunglasses every few months or so, either losing or scratching them, so expensive shades are a waste on me. . Fed up with ill fitting frames, distorted optics, and poor choices in polarized lenses at local stores, I decided to order a bunch of different models on Amazon. Last April, I purchased ( All polarized ) : Flying Fisherman Maverick Flying Fisherman Key Largo Fashion Rectangle Men's Polarized UV400 Allegra K Men Dark Gray Xloop Metal Boating sunglasses After six months trying them out, dissatisfied for various reasons, I was back on Amazon searching for something better. Finally, I found these San Jose polarized sunglasses. For ME, they are perfect. The polarized lenses work well cancelling reflections, are comfortable for long periods, look like much more expensive sunglasses, and the first pair has lasted 8 months so far. (Surprised I haven't lost them by now). Since sunglasses are such a personal thing (as the wide range of reviews on these same sunglasses can attest), they may not be perfect for you, but for under $20.00 they're worth a shot.

Update: I did manage to lose the rubber piece covering one of the arms - my fault. But I tried contacting Flying Fisherman customer service for a replacement - no word back for a week. I shouldn't need to buy another pair just to replace one piece... subtracting a star until I hear back from them. I'm always looking for sunglasses that fit my small (almost nonexistent) nose bridge - that usually means adjustable nose pads. These fit with a little bit of tweaking. I like that they wraparound and re keep the light out of the sides. I use them for driving and the tinting seems to really cut the glare. I've had them for a couple of months, so don't know about durability yet. But I'm happy with these since they are light and pretty comfortable. The price is right and I would buy again - or just maybe go fishing!

It’s a great brand in fishing industry and outdoor activities. The outlook is very perfect for my face shape, the polarized sun protection is great. I use it as soon as I receive it. Amazon purchases experience is always great and fast enough. When i want something, it arrives right away. I will definitely buy this flying fisherman brand again. Thank you.

I'm on my third pair, and the average lifespan on the first two has been three years. The first was brown lenses, the second smoke, now back to brown. They have held up being bent, dropped, etc. The only thing that gives out all together (for me at least) has been the nose pads. Storing them in the glasses cubby in the ceiling of my car killed the first ones (pads got all sticky-icky from being too hot) and the second pair they just sort of wore out and tore. For the price they are fantastic. Not the most comfortable or cool but every pair of sunglasses I paid over $100 for gets lost or broken so heck with it! These are boomerang glasses - I've lost my newest pair 3 times (twice at the golf course, once at a tailgate) and people always return them. Since they are cheap they come back. A real name brand or expensive ones just seem to not get returned for some reason...

Great quality for the price paid.not for very bright sunlight but great all the same.great for driving

Buenos, bonitos y a muy buen precio. La calidad se siente de muy buen nivel, lo aprecias de inmediato en los materiales y terminados. Este color me gustó mucho, resaltan los verdes de manera notable así que son ideales para actividades en campo. No molestan para nada al traerlos puestos y son muy livianos. El armazón es metálico y las lentes son de policarbonato con un tinte cobrizo muy agradable. Reducción total de reflejos y brillos que deslumbran. Aunque la envoltura es una simple bolsita de plástico, llegan muy bien protegidos en la caja de Amazon. Muy recomendables.

These glasses arrived in a paper envelope, wrapped in two tight layers of bubble pack. They weren't damaged in any way during shipment, but maybe I was just lucky because, to my annoyance, they were not inside a carrying case or box, which you might expect with this quality of sunglasses. I like the lenses for being not too dark. You can wear them very late into the day without feeling blind. And judging by what I see in the rear-view mirror of my car when I look at myself, other people will be able to see my eyes when I'm wearing them, so if I forget to take them off while talking to someone, no offense will result. I chose this model because like the full metal frame surrounding the lenses, as they're less likely to pop out of the frame if dropped than when they're just secured to the frame at the top. Amber lenses are the best! That's just my opinion. Gray lenses preserve the actual colours of what you're looking at, but I prefer the warming effect of amber. Things look clear & crisp through these glasses and I'll be dropping my cheap drugstore shades into the nearest donations bin because the difference is huge. I might have preferred the contrast of black frames with the amber lenses but I don't mind that the frames are a matching brownish colour. But if they could make black on amber an option... This particular model from Flying Fisherman doesn't have a yellow-tint version for night driving but as I browsed around Amazon I found a pair under the brand name of Kimorn. They sell for $10 less than the Flying Fishermans and the photos show that they come in a micro-fiber pouch with a cleaning cloth, protected inside a cardboard box. And the kicker is the frames are identical, as in I think whoever makes these glasses for FF is also making them for Kimorn. So I recommend to anyone: browse exhaustively because persistence pays. Except that Kimorn doesn't offer this model in amber. Yellow, blue, black, gray, green, yes, just not my amber.

الرؤية فيها جيدا جدا

Fueron mi segunda compra, me gustan porque son oscuros pero no mucho, ahí que puedo manejar mejor con estos puesto que no oscurece como otros y tengo máxima protección. Tienen muy buena óptica sin deformación, el polarizado es grandioso, el diseño es espectacular. Me encanta
