3 out of 5 stars Look Cool but the Flips Flop!   August 30, 2008
My 9 yr old loves his new baseball sunglasses with interchangeable lenses; he looks cool and can field those fly balls with greater ease. We both are frustrated by two things, however:
1. The lenses pop in easily, but that ensures that flop out easily. They just don't stay in the frame as well as they should for active wear.
2. That problem creates another: a case is not provided (for which we would have gladly paid extra), so storage is difficult, and the lens pops out when we try to put it in a bag we're using until we can find a case large enough to accomodate the sunglasses and all the lenses.
If the manufacturer would tweak the design a bit and include a case, we would have paid up to $[...] for these otherwise useful and attractive sunglasses.



3 out of 5 stars Extra work to make right...   May 31, 2008
My experience was similar to others here, those who had trouble with the "flip-up part" of the glasses staying in place when manipulated to the "up position." I drilled a small hole into the back of the flip-part of the glasses, then ran a piece of floral wire(quite small, but strong) through the hole and around the axle-part of the glasses frame, then twisted it to secure the flip-part to the axle-part, thereby preventing the flip-part from coming off. Works like a charm, but required additional work to make it work properly without separating. I've been using them now for over a month and have yet to(knock on wood) have them come apart again.


1 out of 5 stars not happy   April 28, 2008
Every time you flip them up the hinge holding the lens frame comes apart. I bought them to hang glide with but I will not use them for fear of the lens popping off at 5k ft. and losing it. Peter


4 out of 5 stars Good, inexpensive sports sunglasses   January 19, 2008
I bought them for a trip to the Caribbean. It's nice to have three interchangeable lenses for different conditions. The lenses are pretty prone to fingerprints and smudges when you try to change them, and the lens tends to fall off after a few flips. Overall the sunglasses feel a little flimsy, but are nonetheless very comfortable and quite stylish. The sunglasses also come with a travel pouch, which is convenient.

The flip up mechanism keeps on falling off. Don't buy this. I had to return mine.
