        Comments about Pepper's Rio Polarized Sunglasses:

        The picture and description do not do these glasses justice. They do have the classic Aviator appearance but double curvature gives full peripheral vision, horizontally and vertically.
        Full vision in all directions. No frame parts blocking the view.
        The brown tint color rendition is amazing. Crystal clear.
        Also, they can be easily slid to the top of the head and the spring hinges make them feel very secure and comfortable.
        Definitely worth the price.
        I'll probably have to ordering another pair since a lady friend has already said she wants to borrow these. I expect it'll be a permanent "borrow"!

          Comments about Pepper's Rio Polarized Sunglasses:

          These glasses are described as based on old aviator glasses. The picture does not do justice to what they are. They go much beyond the classic flat design!
          They have double curvature - that give full vision, side to side, and top to bottom - with no frame obstructions.
          The brown tint works very well - even in low light conditions.
          I'm going to order another pair this week - in case I lose them - and REI decides to discontinue them.
