@Thumperchick@vinuash Iâve also got a big-ass head, and found that Native Nano 2 sunglasses fit me well. The specs for Nano 2 are:
Lens width: 70 millimeters
Bridge: 30 millimeters
Arm: 127 millimeters
I was going to jump on these, but I suspect they will be a touch tight. Bummer.
(edited to correct bridge width from 40 to the correct 30 mm)
@vinuash Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Iâve had to return multiple pairs of sunglasses Iâve bought online because I apparently have a parade float for a head.
I feel like sunglasses are one of those things brick and mortar businesses will be able to hold on to for awhile. They look bad so often that theyâre worth the premium to try on in person.
@OnionSoup My current sunglasses are a pair of tinted safety glasses I got at a local hardware store for $1.50. No logos, canât seem to scratch them, and allegedly look good since Iâve been complimented on them.
These are really tempting, except I can get Caterpillar branded polarized safety glasses at work for $15. Not as cool while Iâm golfing, but I donât golf, so Iâm not really that worried about it.
@narfcake@tnhillbillygal DeWalt has a nice dark lens that we use in the shop for torching glasses. If we werenât a Cat dealer, thatâs probably what weâd be using everywhere.
Anything more than $10 is over my limit for an article that I will invariably lose or sit on and break.
As an aside, when did polarization get to be so expensive a process? Thirty or more years ago, polarized and non-polarized sunglasses were equally cheap, in the several dollar area, if you stayed away from the âdesignerâ ones. Itâs all plastic, anyway; isnât it?
@avante296 No Nikes for me anymore either, not even at a Thrift Store. For @cinoclav, yes because of Kaepernick. He wasnât a good football player before he knelt during the national anthem and became a household name. He probably would have been let go anyway. He didnât earn a spot in a national ad.
Mr write up: if you care, tldr: polarized glasses block more reflected light from the road*. It isnât a super complicated thing but I doubt you care about the details. *Unless you turn your head 90°
I got a pair of these as throwaway hikers a couple years ago, and they served their function well. My only real complaint was the lenses were large for my medium-size male head, bordering on âbroâ territory.
My employer game me a pair of Maui Jims last spring for an anniversary gift, and Iâve been using them for outdoor activities ever since. Major difference in clarity, but if youâre someone who wonât spend money on sunglasses because you canât be trusted to hold onto them, these arenât terrible.
I hate Nike also, although I used to love them until their CEO turned stupid. If I like these I am going to do something creative to hide the logo. I donât want to advertise for the jerks.

@Ozzie2191 @vinuash me too, you are not alone
Ventilated nose bridge means you can put your nose underneath it?
@bcastl01 No. It means that you wonât suffocate if you accidentally get it stuffed up your nose, and for some reason your mouth doesnât work.

Plastic sunglasses with an ugly advertising logo slapped on the side. Sorry. Pass from me.
Only metal frames not advertising the brand and at least $20 less in cost for me.

@Ozzie2191
first rule of Eyeglass Dynamics:
The less you pay for a pair of sunglasses, the better they will serve you.
Can prescription lenses be made for these, like some other models of Nike glasses?
@mbimeh yes, they can.
Um, that backgroundâŠthatâs not a sun, Iâm pretty sureâŠ
@Kawa It might lead to a sonâŠ
@Kawa Maybe they meant to sell a different type of protection but there was a mix up?
@Kawa @Milyvan1 - Maybe if they look ugly enough on you it will prevent the scenario shown. #BCGs

@fuzzmanmatt I use safety glasses as sunglasses too. Affordable and much more durable.
@fuzzmanmatt @narfcake that is what we do too. We buy DeWalt safety glasses by the box and they work well.
@narfcake @tnhillbillygal DeWalt has a nice dark lens that we use in the shop for torching glasses. If we werenât a Cat dealer, thatâs probably what weâd be using everywhere.
What, do we now have LGBTQ and U? Seems like a mighty small target market.
Writers, you left out oh so much Nike marketing spin. For example, Skylonâs interchangeable lenses will change your {golf, trail running, football, baseball, driving, skiing, boating, surfing, âŠ}.
Edit: Those extra lenses cost more than these glasses at $40 a pair.

Recently I splurged and got these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B7UY2BE
and keep them in safe in my car for driving only. They work fine for my purposes.
@phendrick And, at Amazon, they have a slightly higher user rating than the Skylon ones do! (But not the same snob factor.)
@phendrick I notice on Amazon that they are Menâs sunglasses for men. Just how manly do you feel?
Maybe I like my light with extra pulp.
Got these to go camping. Lenses pop out very easily. Maybe for $20 not a penny more.
@cmostrowski thank you for the insight, I was looking diligently for somebody who actually owned these before I get the order or Meh button
Straight up PC Prinipal glasses
@sicc574 glad I wasnât the only one thinking that
@sicc574 Oh, when you just happen to be on the southern border⊠and you want to see those bazillion border crossers ⊠and youâre eating lemons.
Iâm surprised that nobody has pointed out that if you buy these you get to show your support for cop killers.
@divddsky I donât understand. Then again, I donât stay current with events.
How much do they weigh?
@speljester according to Amazon:
Thirty four dollars for a pair of cheap-ass, made-in-China, shilling for a corporate behemoth, sunglasses?
Hard pass.
Pass
Put these on and you old men will be yelling, âHey! Slow down!â
âOther Specsâ: I see what you did there
I do not buy Nike anything any longer even for 10c. MEH
@avante296 Aww, someone butt hurt over Colin Kaepernick?
@avante296 No Nikes for me anymore either, not even at a Thrift Store. For @cinoclav, yes because of Kaepernick. He wasnât a good football player before he knelt during the national anthem and became a household name. He probably would have been let go anyway. He didnât earn a spot in a national ad.
Bruh
Super-meh
Can get three pair of Nemesis Polarized Safety Glasses for the same priceâŠ
@yolieric Looks like the nose piece melts really easily on those.
@Fen_Star @yolieric But both times they melted I sent them an email and they mailed me replacements plus extra. Thus earning my loyalty.

Can I wear these comfortably with prescription distance glasses?
@akumax Probably not. Although you can get prescription lenses made for these it seems.

@Kabn Does your wife know you refer to her as your âemployer?â
I gotta say theyâre pretty good at keeping beer from getting in your eyes when your kneeling during the anthem at football games âŠ
@Tlinget Hey why kneel? Just stand up and throw that beer in your face! Saves effort
i saw something that looked just like this at the gas station, 3 for $7
/youtube three for seven

You may rely on it
