I couldn't be happier with these sunglasses. I bought the Polarized Polished Gold Frame and Bronze Lens version of this item, and I'm VERY happy with the results. I chose the bronze lens because I am an avid golfer and read that the lighter yellowish tint make lighter objects appear brighter, while still providing protection from the sun to your eyes. This turns out to be very true. I have found it easier to locate the ball with these glasses, than the darker, more traditional ones, I had used previously.

I bought my last pair of Oakley's 12 years ago (they were also polarized, but a black lens), and they lasted me quite some time. The new glasses, with High Definition Optics, provide much more clarity over the older version (although I do question how much of that is simply a result of the older version being worn, and scratched... None the less, the difference is amazing).

It's important to note, the price is outrageous. These are NOT really made of gold, but the way they're priced, you'd think they were! I paid the price, because I have a history of making sunglasses last, so I don't mind spending a little extra on a nicer pair. However, [...] for a pair of sunglasses makes it impossible to rate it a perfect 5 out of 5 (for me, at least...).

I would strongly recommend you visit your local sunglasses store to try on the glasses before purchasing. I had intended on buying a different pair of Oakley's previously, but went to my local store to try them on and make sure I like them first. I couldn't believe how thin and flimsy their frames appeared. I'm looking to make my sunglasses last as long as possible, so a thin and flimsy frame is not something I want. However, it was during this same trip that I found these glasses and decided on buying. The sales person was quick to point out there are tons of counterfeits online, so if I'm planning on buying online I better beware. I believe this to be true. HOWEVER, the ones I bought were sold (and shipped) directly from Amazon, which I felt was a trusty and reliable seller, and therefore I had no problems. I would strongly suggest you buy any major sunglasses (like Oakley) from only the highest of rated sellers, with enough reviews to make you feel comfortable. While Amazon's price for these glasses were the same as the price at my local shop, I did save about $18 because there was no tax charged and the shipping was free (although it did take slightly over a week, which Amazon is honest about. I don't have a patience problem, so that's fine with me).
