Arnette makes awesome sunglasses! Zappos delivered a great product at a great price including free shipping. I couldn't be happier!

Very nice pair of shades. What most impressed my about them was how light they were. I actually have a larger head (size 7 5/8 hat size) and they felt a little big. Not like they were falling off, but beware if you have a narrow head

I purchased these for my husband as a Christmas present not knowing if he would like the style. Turns out He was happy with them. He likes that they are Polarized and lightweight. He has no complaints about them.

Great fit. A little disappointed that I didn't realize tint was gradient from the pictures but that was my fault.

Pros: Excellent shades as usual by Arnette. Quality materials and build quality plus their made in Italy. Poly-Carb lenses are tough as hell and block the rays perfect and also conveniently come in a variety of cool styles...I copped the Black Glossy/Grey's as well as the Matte Black with Red Mirror lens, both provide good sun blockage and are not vastly different from one another in terms of the type of light they block. Cons: The only real gripe I have with these shades which may ultimately be in part due to the size/shape of my head, but in my opinion is really attributed to the shape of the sunglasses arms - is that they tend to provide an awkward pressure against the rear of your temple behind your ears after prolonged use...something I never had an issue with while wearing my go-to-brand, Von Zipper's. Nonetheless, its very possible this is my heads fault rather than the sunglasses, but I do tend to find most glasses that have "straight shaped" arms are more fatiguing after long term use. Overall: Excellent shades. Stylish. Affordable.

I would say that I have an averaged size head and these fit perfectly! Not only do they fit well when wearing them but they also rest perfectly over my head (I can lean forward, eat, jog, chuckles & giggles) without them slipping off! Thanks Zappos for yet another great quality easy shipment with zero hassle!

When I opened the box I immediately knew these were high quality sunglasses. The metal alloy frame is high quality with a nice weight to it. The frame is well made & it does not appear to be painted unlike inferior sunglasses that paint start peeling off when exposed to sweat & the elements. Unlike cheaper products the frame is perfectly symmetrical, the nose pads and the arms are perfectly even & lay flat on surface without one arm being bowed out or crooked. I think the lens are high quality glass, not plastic which scratches easily. I paid more for the polarized lens & you can tell the Polarized lens because it has a capital "P" at the end of the Arnette logo on the corner of the lens. The charcoal grey lens is not too dark & when you first put it on things are so bright & clear its feels like you put on prescription sunglasses. These frames are 143mm wide so for normal to large heads. I have a large head with a flat nose bridge & high cheek bones (Asian) so the bottom of frame rested on my cheekbones, I took a nail file & carefully extended the nose pads as far as could go so now sits well on bridge without touching cheekbones. The best selling point not made in China! Made in Italy! The only other glasses that are as good or better that I've ever owned was a Versace metal frame but that was $300.00. I am buying another Arnette, maybe the Stakeout model. The case is a cheap made in China zippered foam case which is way too big because the glasses will rattle around in it. I am going to buy a better case to protect this investment.

I bought these sunglasses for my trip to the Berkshires and then California. They are light, comfortable, look striking, and entirely unisex. Their big lenses don't block too much light, though, and can smudge easily. But other than that, they're sweet sunglasses to own.

These glasses are very comfortable but too big for my face. I have a small narrow face so I will try the Rage instead.

A sportier, more comfortable wayfarer that has a very unique style that turns heads. These also have a larger frame too which is great if you have a big head like I do.

My head is on the narrow side and these glasses fit great. I also like the vision I get with the polarized lenses. I've never considered the advantages of polarized lenses, but so glad I took the plunge. In hindsight, I would have probably chosen the gloss black pair instead of the tortoise. I've gotten multiple comments that suggest the tortoise style looks more feminine. Overall, very comfortable and well put together. A little classier than most styles out their, hip but not too over the top.

I wanted to love these glasses. I love the look in the picture and the color, of course! Once I tried these on I found they were too square at the bottom for my tastes. They are very nice glasses and I was tempted to keep them, but I really liked the fit and look of the Arnette Swingplate that I ended up keeping.

I'm a geologist and climber living in Phoenix AZ, just a quick background to qualify that I'm out in the sun... A lot. These glasses are wonderful. Dark enough for those incredibly long sunny days but still don't alter the tone I your surroundings. Also great for low light conditions, rarely do I have to take them off in a tunnel or garage transition while I'm driving. The design is pretty sleek. I was hesitant about matte black because it looked 'plasticy' on line, but the glasses look clean in reality. I have the blue mirrored lenses that reflect all light in low light and reveal your eyes slightly in high light. Finally the frame is key for me; I have a pretty big head and have a hard time finding glasses that look good. These are perfect. Small heads, seriously beware!:) If this were an REI review I would seriously recommend them to a friend! ;)

Purchased a set of Black Heists with grey polarized lenses for motorcycling. Love the large frame and wrap around design very good wind protection. Well constructed, stout hinges. Recommend.

These shades are bomb.com! As a female who likes bigger framed glasses, these are excellent. I saw these and decided to give Arnette a try. I don't regret it! The lenses are much darker than they look in the photos (which is what I wanted), but you can tell how dark they are from the video. Which by the way is an awesome feature Zappos has. Utilize it. The only tiny negative would be the frames are a little tight behind the ears. I have a pretty average size head, and since these are men's sunglasses, I would take caution if I were of the larger headed variety. They are designed for active-lifestyle so if you're looking for glasses that are stylish and won't fall off easily, these are the ticket.

Great sunglasses. They fit my face perfectly, though I do have a "larger" head than most. Definitely watch the review video and you will see what I mean. The sunglasses themselves are great. The build quality is solid for the price and the lenses are very clear with the polarizing. I would definitely recommend the glasses to anyone.

A great Arizona sunglasses! What I like about these sun glasses, is that they're extremely lightweight. They don't weigh down your head. I love the polarized! They come with a nice case & lens cleaner (fabric).
