Comments about Pepper's Storm Shadow Sunglasses - Polarized:

If, like me, you tend to be hard on your sunglasses, these are for you. If you also appreciate polarized lenses, and sharp styling, these are for you.
Cheap, durable, and you won't cry when you sit on them since the price is right!
Buy with confidence.

Comments about Pepper's Storm Shadow Sunglasses - Polarized:

I enjoyed these glasses until a small scratch in a lens turned into the entire coating of the lense started to peel off. Now the lense not only has a different appearance when looking through them but also to anyway looking at me.
But i guess you get what you pay for...
Get them if you usually buy your shades at a gas station and are not concerned about longevity.

Comments about Pepper's Storm Shadow Sunglasses - Polarized:

For the price you cant beat these shades! Like all sunglasses, try pairing them with a Croakie Eyewear Retainer to cut down on, and virtually eliminate scratches! When not wearing them on your face hang them around your neck or rearview mirror. I do alot of paddling in mine, add a little rain-x on the inside and outside of the lenses and cinch down the eyewear retainer on your noggin and you are ready for any eskimo roll or face shot. Ive even taken huge waves in the face while surf kayaking and they stay on. In the unlikely event they do come off whilst inverted underwater, hey,... they only cost [$], not 120!

Great shades! Best fit I have seen out of any glasses I have ever worn, and these are only [$]amazing!! eyelashes wont rub on the lenses and they will not squeeze your nose, leaving red mark, they also don't pinch your head causing a head ache!! I love these things and for the price I can afford to lose them once or twice, cause you know it will happen!!

Comments about Pepper's Storm Shadow Sunglasses - Polarized:

I was originally attracted to the price of these. I always lose my glasses so I'm not interested in spending 100+ dollars but I do want quality. The polarized lens' are great, they block UV rays and make the clouds pop out. The frame can take a decent beating and look good. They are also way more comfortable than the cheapo glasses I used to buy.

I liked the first ones so much I bought a second pair of Peppers. Will likely buy a third pair soon. The STorm Shadows are my favorite so far. Compare these with Oakleys and figure you could buy about 5 pairs of Peppers to one pair of Oakleys.

Comments about Pepper's Storm Shadow Sunglasses - Polarized:

I looooooove the outdoors. Its unusuall to find me at home during the summer, and I recently had to send in my oakleys to get fixed, and got these as a temporary replacement. After wearing them for about a week both at work (summer camp) and hiking, I've decided to switch to these. They are way more comfortable than the oakleys, don't have the brand name, but at the end of the day, comfort and protection is really what its all about. You should definitely get these and at this price, how couldn't you??!?!?!?!

Comments about Pepper's Storm Shadow Sunglasses - Polarized:

I don't buy fancy expensive sunglasses. I have found these chili peppers to last almost as long as the expensive ones, based on comparison with friends who have more expensive ones. These are comfortable and block the sun from my eyeballs.
I have a big head, and it's hard to find sunglasses that don't look absolutely ridiculous on me. These are OK. They are wide enough that I can see peripherally, and big enough that I don't look like a big head with small glasses. I'd like them a bit bigger, but I was in a hurry to replace my broken ones.
My last pair (also Peppers') was similar to this, but this design has improvements- less rubbery plastic on the bows. My old pair had silicone or something that tore free, degraded from sweat and wear. I glued it back on several times, and it looked ugly.
The old pairs (i had 2 pair) broke in the same place- the frame around one lens. It is the weakest/thinnest part of the shades, and when I put them on, I would have to stretch it out to get the bows around my big head. Since this is still true for me, I am expecting these glasses to break the same way eventually. However, because these bows are shorter, Maybe there will be less stress on them when putting them on. . .
