Polarized Photochromic Driving z87 Sunglasses For Men Women Day and Night safety glasses

Man, I don't normally give reviews like this. I first bought a pair of these in january of 2024. I was fairly impressed with them considering how inexpensive they are. So in june of 2025, I bought another pair to put in my other car. I still have both pair and both pair are still in good condition. I use them for driving, and I use them at work where I drive a golf/utility cart around at an amusment park in sunny tampa florida. One pair still has no scratches. The other pair has one tiny little scratch and I don't even put them in their case. I just throw them in the passenger seat. And as long as i've mentioned it, the case that these things come with seems to be very good quality also. Currently, I am using the cases for a pair of ray bans, and a pair of smiths that I have, so that's how much I trust their cases. ( I always try to use a generic case or bag for my good glasses. It makes them less attractive to thieves) The clarity is very impressive, much better than I expected for the price. I will say the whole photochronic thing is bull, they do not get darker when you go in the sun and they do not get lighter when you go back indoors, so don't expect that part to be true, also, they try to make the claim that these are z87 glasses ( z87 means that they are approved by osha as industrial safety glasses), but I don't see the z87 stamped on the arm, and I think that's a mandatory thing for z87 glasses, but aside from those 2 things, for a pair of sunglasses under thirty dollars, these things are very impressive. Normally when I buy cheap sunglasses, they last me about one summer season and then they're just too scratched up for me to wanna use anymore. From now on, whenever I need a pair of cheap glasses, these are the ones i'm buying.

So far I like these sunglasses. They turn darker quickly in the sun but not as dark as regular sunglasses. I have Maui Jim and Ray Ban sunglasses but at times I need a lighter tint because the darker tint can distort your vision. They are good on a cloudy day and help with the glare you can have. I haven’t tried them at night but I am almost sure the glare from the headlights will be much better. I was pleased with the quality based on the price.

I bought these to help with glare while driving a night to cut glare and brightness on today's super bright headlights. To this affect they do help some. While testing against my $200 polarized fishing glasses there is no comparison, as those (the $200 ones) totally cut glare and any "staring effect" from viewing oncoming lights or other glare. But then again, you can't wear darkened sunglasses at night :-). So, these are not too bad for helping out as they do cut SOME glare and since they are "transitional" they are fairly clear at night not to hinder darker areas where a contrast may cause an issue. I really have not tried out in sunlight to see about the transition darkening efficiency, and glare cutting. I gave these a 4 star strictly because not "fully" polarized. In-other words they do not totally restrict light passage when held at 90 degrees with a known good polarized set of glasses. I would say maybe a 60% cut of light. I feel if polarization was better the glare reduction would be higher. As stated above the slight reduction of glare at night is a only a slight help, but enough of glare reduction to keep me wearing them, as they do fit and feel good. These also seem to be "optically correct". In-other words, they keep the field of view and objects in the field of view in place when lifting up and down to "test" the efficacy of anti glare, and, as well as they do not increase the size of objects. Overall, not bad but not the "holy grail" for night driving.

After a relative narrowly avoided significant damage to her eye by a smashed pickleball that broke her sunglass frames, I decided I needed to get some protective eyewear for pickleball. At least half of the pros are wearing them full-time in light of how much faster the game has become in the past two years with increased athleticism plus much more powerful gen 3 and gen 4 paddles. I wanted glasses that would offer an ANSI Z87.1 level of anti-shatter protection plus had photochromatic lenses so I could wear them both indoors and outdoors. A search for those characteristics brought up these sunglasses and the reviews seem mostly decent so I made the purchase. These were a mistake. They failed in terms of fit, construction, and lens quality, and were not good safety eyewear for pickleball. I am returning them. PROS: - Very lightweight and comfortable. They were comfortable, didn’t pinch or squeeze the bridge of my nose or bother my ears the way some other sunglasses have in the past, yet also stayed in place well without sliding around. - Pretty stylish, looking and neutral enough in shape they would probably look decent on a broad variety of men and women. - Came with a semi – hard case that looks cheap, but was small enough not to be bulky and sturdy enough to offer adequate protection from crushing in most scenarios while in the pocket of a pair of shorts. CONS: - Not protective eyewear. The manufacturer included “Z87“ in the product title as clickbait, but there is no indication they actually are ANSI certified safety lenses. Further, they offer no real protection at the temples and the frames near the hinges are very lightweight and do not look like they could withstand much of an impact with anything. These are definitely not robust enough to appear able to survive being hit with a pickle ball. I suspect the lightweight construction would probably give out within a year of normal use just as a regular pair of sunglasses used several times a week. However, balancing the low price of these sunglasses versus the frequency that most people lose, scratch up, or damage their sunglasses, they may make sense if purchased with an expectation of only getting a year usage out of them.. - Smaller than represented. I have a pretty big head, wearing a large or extra large size hat, and the typical average sized sunglasses look too small on me. I took advantage of the virtual try-on option that Amazon offers on their cell phone app and these sunglasses looked to be adequately wide, and tall enough to fit my face well, at least based on the image on my phone taken with my phone’s camera. In reality, I would say these glasses were about 10 to 15% smaller than they looked in the virtual try-on app, were too small for my face, and were too small to provide full coverage for my eyes. They did not come down low and close enough to my face and were not as tall as shown in the virtual try-on app. - The photochromatic lenses did not lighten. Straight out of the box the lenses looked just a little darker than a regular clear eyeglass lens, and darkened significantly out in bright sunlight. They probably do not darken enough for a really sunny day on the water or anywhere one will encounter lots of glare, but should be dark enough for driving on a sunny day. The problem is that upon returning indoors to a much less bright environment, the lenses only lightened by about 50%. They did not lighten sufficiently for playing pickleball indoors, even after sitting for three days in a dark room. Note that there are several different variations in this model of sunglass, some of which have different frame colors, and some of which appeared to have different lenses, not all of which are photochromatic. I was very careful to choose the one that specifically stated it had photochromatic lenses. CONCLUSION: I was disappointed that these sunglasses really did not meet their description adequately as they simply were not sturdy enough to serve as protective eyewear, were smaller than represented in the try-on app, and the photochromatic lenses did not lighten sufficiently for use indoors. However, if you are looking for a lightweight comfortable pair of sunglasses for use in moderate, but not extremely bright sunlight for activities such as golf or driving, these would be a pretty good, low cost pair of sunglasses. EPILOGUE: After searching around more, I bought a pair of UKNOW photochromatic safety glasses here on Amazon, and they seem to be everything I was looking for in a pair of glasses for indoor and outdoor use playing pickleball. They are much sturdier and come with a removable foam liner for even further protection against impact. They are slightly wider and about 3/4 of an inch taller so they fit my face much better and, they darken up in bright sunlight just as well as these sunglasses do, but lighten up sufficiently for indoor use when taken out of bright sunlight. I have attached a couple of photos comparing the two sunglasses and you can see the significantly more robust, protective construction of the UKNOW glasses, as well as the difference in tint level after bringing them inside out out of sunlight.

I'm happy with this purchased I used it today for the first time and they are great, very lightweight it fits my face just right, took them out to the links (golf) and it passed the test. It may be $$ cheap but they don't look cheap, the frame is very sturdy and the tint part works magically.

This is the nicest set glasses I've ever owned at any price. Very light tint but very effective against sun and glare. I'll probably get another set.

I got these for what I hoped were finally polarized sunglasses that would work with my windshield HUD/Heads-Up- Display that, like, most all makes and model vehicles, uses a polarized process for display on the windshield surface. Considering these are a tad lighter then my current driving sunglasses, I was hoping I'd be able to read the display, even if I needed to turn up brightness to max. Sadly, even though lighter in tint when they darken, they completely block out the display as if it's off. I had a vehicle which offered super brightness and worked with polarized sunglasses, but, I think that was a rare opportunity. Bottom line, if you do not need sunglasses for using your heads-up display, these would work perfectly for driving glasses. These do fit very comfortably and use a very clear and have a lens with zero distortion. They are extremely light in weight and rest very comfortably on the nose. If you use your heads-up display or try to with your current polarized sunglasses, these are worth trying, as you might be lucky with your vehicle! Google the heads-up issue for your year and model and you might find some helpful info on user forums online! 5 stars all around for these and the fact they do not work w/ polarized heads-up displays is NOT the manufacturers fault at all!

These are some pretty cool looking glasses. I purchased the ones that turn dark outdoors. They are slightly tinted when you are indoors, which may be annoying to some people; however, when you go outside they will darken up in about 10 minutes. They did not get dark enough for my taste. When back inside, they will lighten up in about 10 mins. If you are looking for a little darker sunglasses, then these are not it. The transition feature is nice if you're going to a theme park and constantly in/out of rides, but I found the lack of tint a little annoying. That said, the style, fit and customize of fit is excellent. You may like these better than me, but for now I think I'm sticking to my regular sunglasses.

Really good sunglasses at a very reasonable price

Just was needed

C'est ma deuxieme paire Elles sont extra.

へらぶな釣りをしていますが、10年前に1万円で外国製のイーグル何とかのサングラスを買い使ってましたが、サイズが合わないのとウキの色が鮮明でなく明るさも暗いので、今回試し買いをしました。昨日釣りに行きました。サイズもレンズの広さも明るさも自分の求めていたものでした。価格も安かったので大満足です。目が疲れません。

I use it to drive now in the winter time and it has helped me a lot to avoid the reflection of the snow. These glasses are very practical, lightweight and adjust to the size of my face.
