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

Frames cracked by fatigue failure at start of second summer. I live in Syracuse NY, mostly cloudy or overcast, not sunny, so glasses got only a light workout. Keep them in a zippered case. Magnifying glass examination of the crack surface shows they failed by fatigue, not impact, so as a result of normal wear, not as a result of some impact or accident. Attached photos (of varying magnifications and clarity) showing the cracked frame surface, taken through USB microscope, show typical fatigue crack topography, to anyone versed in material failure analysis. They were nice glasses for the first summer, crap after that. I would not be surprised for dollar store glasses, but not what I expected for glasses represented as good quality accessories.

When the FF Drift sunglasses are new, they're great, but they last only slightly longer than tissue paper and the price keeps increasing. I've bought 5 pairs over the last couple years, but I'm done with them. A couple pairs have just fatigued really quickly getting loose so the lenses rattle and fall out or break while putting them on. On the ones that haven't fallen apart yet, the soft-touch rubber has turned to goo and crumbled away.I wish they could either use some quality materials or warranty their products, but until then, they're on my do-not-buy or recommend list.

I was surprised by how much glare these cut. I'm used to my polarized aviators but wanted something specifically for fishing in case they fall off. I take my 4 year old daughter with me when I go so my glasses also double as eye protection. I have never owned copper color lenses before but they're decent, very high contrast with greens and makes a big difference when peeping fish.I only fish from the bank and I took them on a hike today at lake Dixon (near San Diego) and snapped a picture and another trough the lenses of the glasses. I was impressed to say the least. They sit a little high on my face, and they are a "one size fits most" so no adjustments can be made but I wasn't expecting that given the price. They are also very light and I barely noticed they were there on the 4 mile hike. Visual acuity is also surprisingly good for a sub $20 pair of glasses. No pinning of distortion that I could perceive.I picked these up as disposable eye protection and feel like I found a hidden gem. I can't speak to the longevity yet, but given the price a new pair is cheaper than replacing the lenses on a better pair of glasses.Pro:-inexpensive-light weight-good visibility, no/low distortion of optics-High contrastCons:-nonadjustable fit

These are very good glasses on day one. Lens color is great for low light fishing when your darker lenses won’t work. This is my second pair. They fit great and work perfect but the plastic separate on the ear pieces. If you look at picture you can see red and black. They are joined by some processes that doesn’t work very well. I use them a lot for fishing so they get heavy use but only last about a year for me. You can decide if for the price a years use works for you. If they were more durable I would rate them at a five. I love them when they are new and am frustrated when they start peeling. Debated on giving three stars but I care about durability a lot.

These are nice looking, comfortable, and apparently well-made glasses, but I'm returning them because the lenses are much too lightly tinted. (These are labeled 7828BC Drift Matte Crystal Navy Copper".) In comparison, Flying Fisherman Maverick Polarized Sunglasses with Amber lenses (labeled Maverick Black Amber) are much more heavily tinted. I'd recommend those instead. Note that I use my glasses for driving and general outdoor activities, not typically fishing.

These fit my 7 5/8 hat size head well. Liked the polarized lenses. The color is good. I wore them for several hours about six days a week. I would like to have had a little more side coverage, but for the price they are fine. However the temple broke in the hinge after 5 months. They're now useless. They did last longer than some of the cheap sunglasses I have used.

These Flying Fisherman Drift Polarized Sunglasses are exactly as described in appearance, functionality, purpose, and quality. The fit is great and the frames are flexible soft plastic making them light and comfortable. Delivery was as estimated and the product arrived well packed and protected. I would recommend it to a friend.

Love the lenses. They are the the tint I like and they are not too dark.But, the frame keeps breaking on me.I returned one pair after 2 weeks, only wearing 3 times golfing.The replacement pair, broke after 2 weeks.Both pairs broke in the very thin area above the lens.I keep them in a hard case.They broke while I was wearing them, with no trauma. Simply not strong enough either the material or the design.

El armazón del lente es de un plástico que a la vista se ve de baja calidad, al tacto se observa resistente, creo que no es su virtud principal, puesto que lo realmente destacable es el lente y la visión que te da sobre las cosas, elimina en gran medida el reflejo del sol y se aprecian los colores más vivos. Para usarlos en el manejo cotidiano son excelentes y para actividades en el mar también funcionan muy bien. En el tiempo que tengo usándolos ( mas de 5 meses ) estoy muy contento con ellos, al final el armazón se ha observado muy resistente. El único pero que le puede poner es que en la compra no incluyen ninguna funda de protección, finalmente hay que invertir en una ya que vale mucho la pena cuidarlos.

Iv been looking for a reasonably priced set of polarized sunglasses with a decent UV rating. These guys met all those demands. You really can't get a better pair of polarized glasses for the price of these guys. They are made for fishing but I use mine for that and much more. These are my everyday carry glasses and work great for driving, sports, hiking, you name it.The polarization on these are awesome. I use them everyday when hiking in the winter to prevent my eyes from squinting. They are wonderful protection for the complete eye since they are a wraparound style glasses. The nose grip is nice and cushioned and does not cause irritation like some other brand glasses I have tried.The plastic frames on these are quite rugged for the price. I have dropped these many times and have yet to put a dent or scratch on them. The frames are not a hard plastic so they allow some bend. I find this to be great as I can throw them in my pocket and they cant still take a beating.The polarized lenses are scratch resistant and durable. They come with 100 % UVA and UVB ray protection so they bounce those rays right back at the sun. They have a 1 year warranty which is pretty nice too even though they will probably out live that.Pros:-Polarized-Block UV's-Lightweight-Rugged-1 yr Warranty

Son cómodos y cubren bien , protegen bien del sol lo malo me duraron poco a los 3 meses la partes que son azules las cuales son de goma se despegaron de la parte rígida y se empezaron a caer hasta que solo quedo la parte rígida y aunque así pueden usarse se ven mal hasta que terminaron rompiéndose después de un año , gracias.

Buenos lentes, solo no son para dias soleados o donde haya mucho sol y calor, te cubren bien por las tsrdes o dias nublados, donde hace mucho calor y sol mejor bisca otros mas oscuros

Unos lentes que son de buena ayuda para manejar y andar en un día soleado, su calidad es aceptable con respecto a su precio.No vienen con ninguna funda o estuche ni trapo limpiador, algo que se agradecería que se incluyera.
