At first, I was surprised by the frames being painted a gold/tan color as opposed to a plated finish. There is no doubt this lesser finish played a part in the lower price. Pros: very light and comfortable. Vision great. Cons: atypical finish that isn't very attractive. Plastic lenses (polycarbonate) may feel cheap. Bottom line: good back-up pair, but not at this price. If you're used to $10 sunglasses, this is a definite upgrade. If you've owned RB or other high quality polarized glasses, you probably won't like these.
