Comments about Pepper's Capital Polarized Sunglasses:

These had a very comfortable fit, but the lenses scratched easily and the plastic coating on the frames did not hold up well in the heat while South East Asia. The coating peeled off almost completely to reveal clear plastic.

Comments about Pepper's Capital Polarized Sunglasses:

These are my favorite sunglasses at this price point. I have had three or so pairs. I was told by an REI employee that these are made to last a year or so, which seems about right. Two pairs so far ended up with the polarization film wearing off the front of the lenses. They end up looking cloudy, not scratched. This is with using a cloth to clean them. I have also had to super glue the nose pieces back on a few times.

That being said, I do really like these glasses. If the film wears off, I get a new pair, as they are lifetime warranty glasses.

Comments about Pepper's Capital Polarized Sunglasses:

Great shades at an even greater price. These are the first pair of sunglasses I have ever bought for myself. I purchased them because I had gotten a summer job as a lifeguard and sunglasses were necessary. These are super light weight and I don't even feel them when they're on. These have sort of rubber grips located on the end of the ear pieces, I had long hair during the first month or so of summer and they pulled my hair when I put them on. But as long as your hair is less than 3 inches above your ears they don't pull.

Comments about Pepper's Capital Polarized Sunglasses:

Perfect pair of polarized sunglasses. This is a great deal for the price. I recently used these for five days during a snowboarding trip and these worked out better than my goggles. However, I was riding on bluebird days instead of snowy days but these glasses were just what I needed.

Comments about Pepper's Capital Polarized Sunglasses:

I was attracted to this product by the price and by a friend's recommendation. I have a small face and have a hard time finding sport sunglasses for women so I thought I'd give these a try and hoped the 'medium fit' was an overstated estimate. Unfortunately, the glasses are just too big for my face. I like the style and quality but the lenses and arms are too big to fit comfortably on my face.

I probably should just stick to buying sunglasses in store rather than online.

Comments about Pepper's Capital Polarized Sunglasses:

Recently bought these, and I fell in love. They are the cheapest polarized glasses I've seen. They are the perfect shade, not too dark, not too light. They fit very comfortably, however I have a small head and face so they don't stay up when I put them up on my head. I usually don't spend over 10 bucks on glasses but these are well worth the extra, and its not like they break the bank anyway They were stolen on the last commercial I worked on but I'm going right back to buy another pair.

Comments about Pepper's Capital Polarized Sunglasses:

These sunglasses are great. I didn't think they'd be a big deal since I have sunglasses already but the key is that they are polarized. It makes everything very clear and crisp...and of course, they are comfortable. Nice.

Comments about Pepper's Capital Polarized Sunglasses:

Recently purchased these and wear them whenever I do anything outside. I have a somewhat smaller face and head so thicker frames dont always look right on me, but these fit perfect and look great. The picture doesn't do these justice..very stylish and good lenses too! The frames seem extremely durable and I'll definitely buy another pair if something ever does happen to them. The one small thing I dont like is that the tips are a little wide which makes it hard to slide croakies on, but i did eventually get them to fit. Must have sunglasses!

Comments about Pepper's Capital Polarized Sunglasses:

I love to ride my bike, go climbing, and camp. I found these glasses the perfect fit and after I missed place them I knew I had to buy another pair. The brown lens help to make everything become clearer even in low light and the frames are strong enough for a over stuffed pack. If you are looking for an all around pair of glasses then these are the ones for you.
