Stephanie, Coventry

+ Excellent pair of sunnies, the aviator style is great!
Lenses themselves are just the right size; not too big or too small. I am particularly pleased with the fit of glasses; very comfortable.
I would highly recommend these glasses to anyone as they have a great style, great comfort and all at a great price, thank you!

- No bad points really; maybe the frame could be slightly thicker?

John, Wiveliscombe

+ Price, apearance.

- Weight - heavy because
of the prisms which is unavoidable
Tendency to fall off because the side pieces do not curl round behind the ear. This is a fault with all glasses today. They are OK for those who sit behind a desk all day but for those whose work entails bending forward, curlies - as they are known in the trade - are essential. Surely there is a demand for them?

Niall, Whitehaven

+ Does everything that the expensive aviator shades in the pilot mags do, for a fraction of the price. They also meet the CAA requirement on 6mm max leg thickness (for peripheral vision) but now I am just getting nerdy! Seriously though, you can't get anything in this style on the high street.

- They seem to fall off easily when bending over, therefore not suitable for recreations of Brokeback Mountain.

Sian, Aberdeen

+ I wanted glasses that are huge and protect my entire eye area from sun & wind burn, but I didn't feel the prevalent Jackie Onassis look is me.

- Fashion-wise, they're possibly a bit risky...I think I get away with it because I have wild hair and a convertible, but I could be fooling myself.

- I had to make a few adjustments to the bridge and arms to make the specs more comfortable and I was concerned about damaging them.
