Nice

Got the Black Lagoon Polarized Gray Gradiant. They rock, light, good coverage. Nice to be able to have lighter vision when you look down and darker on top. Would recommend to anyone. They look good too! .

Killer Style Shades

I've used mostly Smith for last few years and I've put myself away from wire framed sunglasses (I keep bending them). I've also inherited a slightly larger face and needed a bit more coverage than normal and the almost aviator style to the frame does that and more. The lens clarity was excellent as well as I went with the Black Red/ Gold Gradient combo which fended off the most intense sun. Two issues to note of though. It does utilize the Evolve material so the frame is a bit softer than the grilamid and if you have a high nose-bridge, the Swindler will tend to sit slightly higher on your face than you would like.

one of my favs

The Swindler is a GREAT pair of sunglasses. HUGE FAN. They look great and provide a lot of coverage. I have the "brown" lenses- they're marvelous. I dig the "gap" above the nose brim as well. I've had my pair for a long time and they're still my "go-to's" .. noteworthy- they have a nice gentle curve around your head. Super comfy- but aren't going to slip down the nose as much because of it

Good-lookin but fragile

These glasses are super-stylie. I've got a small face and they still fit well for big glasses, but a lot of people with larger faces rock these as well. The only thing to keep in mind is that the arms have a tendency to break at the hinge-point, so they aren't your ultradurable shades- gotta take care of 'em.

Cool Style with Great Coverage

This is a great style that is cool and gives me the coverage I need while hanging out at the beach. The polar lens is the way to go since it blocks all of the glare I am exposed to. Thanks Backcountry!!

Change me.
