Honestly, if I didn't buy these from Amazon directly I would assume they are fake. I say this because they simply put feel cheap. Most obvious is the very annoying &#34;creaking&#34; sound that you very audibly hear when handling the sunglasses. Beyond that, they just don't somehow feel like the ray-bans overall quality I am use to. On a positive note is the optics are good and when wearing the the glasses don't move around on the face. So, in the end I am somewhat ambivalent about this purchase, neither to upset or very happy.
