how are these glasses as sunglasses?

My husband only wears them at night. I think he wore them once in the day and they cut down on the glare.

I have several pair of dark sun glasses, that's why I ordered these "shooting" glasses. They have 99.9% UV Blocking, that's what "fries" the retina, not the bright light. I "hate" dark sun glasses for anything beyond fishing from a boat in bright sun shine - then I can see through the dark lenses. I understand these yellow lenses are also good good at night -I had a pair but seldom drive at night.

If you enjoy frying your retinas, they are great! That being said, if you are looking for shooting glasses that help increase your depth perception, the yellow tints on these glasses work well. As for blocking sun, they dont do much, if anything in that department. You are going to want a pair of glasses with dark or smoke tinted lenses that will cut down on the light coming through.

Hi Monica, its hard for me to say if there gonna be a good fit for your son, everyone's head is different . But the glasses are nice for the price, and the lenses, are easily changed. As far as scratching them, depends on how hard you use them. They will scratch just like any other sunglasses . I bought them for running, biking, and other outdoor activities.. So far so good, God bless Mike

Pretty much. They're good driving glasses from dawn until just after sunset, and they do okay for cloudy days.

Yes, they're like medium sunglasses, I don't think they're polarized, however.

I have had mine since last summer. Use them primarily to ride my old Harley D. I am very careful when exchanging lenses and thus far they have been fine with no obvious scratches. Don't pull on the rubber part of the nose piece when exchanging lenses just the hard plastic piece. I like mine as can change for various lighting days.

These glasses work fine over most reasonable sized prescription glasses. I wear mine all the time with these. Comfortably.

Yes, they are. In fact, they are some of the best driving glasses I have used and incredibly cheap. I began using them while dove hunting and tried them for the dark trip out and back from the field and they stuck on me. Love them. There may be better, but not for less than 12 bucks that can double with ballistic eye protection.

These are real glass high quality sunglasses. The "rear view " aspect has to do with the shape of the glasses, and a small section of the user facing section of the lenses that are mirrored. The shape of the glasses are more flat than lets say wrap around shades you can buy from a tourist shop, which is something not easy to see from the photos. But they are classic aviator shape, and don't scream novelty/trick sunglasses at all. The mirrored portion of the inside lens can still be seen through. Overall I definitely recommend. Lenses are glass so keep that in mind.

I've had these sunglasses for about 6 months now. I wear them running, so I sweat all over them and they are fine. I've even gotten caught in a couple rain storms and they still work just fine. So I can vouch at they at least are moderately water proof. I wouldn't wear them in the swimming pool or anything! :)

I've actually worn them while driving...and although I wouldn't call them driving glasses, it appeared to make things clearer for me. Hope this helps.

I have two pairs of seeing glasses. They fitted well over both of them However, the thicker Ray bans left a mark on my nose after a while and was uncomfortable. The other glasses are very light with no frame. With those I had no problem.

yes, I wear glasses and they work well for the price. They have the twist up eye cups, so it is not a big problem to switch between users with and with out glasses.

Assuming your frames aren't too thick, these should be fine.I wear them with my glasses all the time.

They're fine. As they have no prescription in the lenses, it will just be like wearing non-prescription sunglasses with your contacts.
