The metal temple (or part that goes over the ear) can't really take a beating so if you have small children or treat you sunglasses roughly in anyway these are not the item for you. Still, they look great and were extremely comfortable.<br /><br />The smaller temples (again part that goes over the ear) made this feel a little feminine to me. Not true unisex although I never got any comments that they were feminine. So I'd say it's a wash. Actual true unisex where no one thinks your wearing women's glasses, but you don't feel like you're wearing men's either.
