Great for my face; YFMV
By Brian Gouge
I don't think you could purchase sunglasses over the Internet exclusively, as there is no way to tell how they fit and match the shape of your face. Visit a sunglasses store, mall kiosk, REI, etc. and try on all the brands and styles and see what is comfortable and looks good actually on your face. Take a friend who isn't afraid to tell you how silly you look in Blue lenses or whatever -- I took my wife :-) I guess you could Skype someone from your phone or something too.I can't recommend Polarized lenses enough. They make a huge difference and you can see things you otherwise wouldn't, like people through the windshield of oncoming cars; without the lenses you just see reflected sky. But other than the extra spying on passers-by, it is all about minimizing the reflected glare that hits your eyes. My wife chose a pair of Oakley's because they were the most comfortable and she liked how they looked. After comparing her Oakley polarized lenses to Native, the Oakley are visibly better quality. You'd never know without comparing side by side or if your eyesight isn't perfect (mine is 20/15). Also, cheap polarized lenses can actually show a horizontal-blind effect, so I'd stay away from cheapies unless you are always breaking or losing your sunglasses. The Smith lenses are every bit as good as the Oakley's. The color of the tint is slightly cooler on the Smith, in my opinion, which is subjective rather than good or bad. The Oakley are warmer, the Smith are cooler, but equal clarity and color rendition of the world through either.I chose Smith Parallel Max, Black, Porarized Gray, PMPPGYBK this time around, with no Iridium coating. I found these Parallel Max to be a good fit for my face, and I actually wanted something without an Iridium coating this time so I wouldn't have to be so paranoid of scratches. I have a larger head (X-Large motorcycle helmet size).I've owned about 5 pairs of Oakley's over the last 25 years, and I just didn't want to spend quite that much for Polarized lenses any more. I tried Natives and they practically fell apart and were not as good in clarity as I already noted. If you want something that won't scratch you'll have to look for sunglasses without coatings on them, the Iridium and Reflex coatings that Oakley and Native use will scratch if you drop them or get hit with a sandy volleyball spinning just right. With these Smith you also get 2 other sets of lenses, so you could switch to the color tinted if you wanted to, when you know you're going into a rough and potentially scratchy environment, or use the Clear lenses which are just for UV blocking and eye protection. In all these are a good value. You can find worse, you can find better, and you can always find someone who wonders why you spent more than $10 on a pair of sunglasses. That's fine, I don't see what anyone sees in a $300+ pair of designer-brand ugly things either. To each their own, and again that's why you need to do a bit of foot work or borrow a friend's pair or something in order to narrow down your choices before buying online.Hope this helps someone!

Great Basic Sporting Sunglasses and Great Value!
By J. Feng
I ordered the polarized grey, ignition and clear version of the Smith's Parallel Max sunglasses. These glasses are light and perfect for your daily sport activities. I still own my pair of Oakley Half-Jacket sunglasses. The Smith's parallel max feels little bit cheap compare to the Oakley but it is definitely less flashy which is the reason why I bought it. It still feels sturdy and I can comfortably put it in my pockets or backpack without fearing it will be crushed. The purchase was a great value. One of the best combo sunglasses packs you can purchase. It came with three lenses and a case. If you buy those items from Oakley together, it would cost you well over $300. I'm loving these sunglasses and the versatility you get with it. It gives you all the right color lenses you need for different weather forecasts and conditions.The Sunglasses purchase came with:- Frame- Polarized Grey Lenses- Ignition Lenses- Clear Lenses- CaseThis is a perfect buy for summer.

By JulesOnTheBay
Very satisfied with these glasses. We did a lot of research to find sunglasses that were scratch/break resistent. We've had these glasses approximately 3 months & we're exceedingly pleased. They don't strain our eyes and they look great on. We've dropped them on the ground and pavement without a scratch. They come with 3 sets of lens to meet a variety of lighting needs.the only 'con' is that you feel like you have to be really 'careful' about changing the lens even though you really don't. However, be sure to follow the instructions to assure you don't break them.Tip - the main different between the 'max' and other styles for the Parallel style of glasses is the size to match the size of your head/face. So be sure to check that out before purchasing so you can make sure you get the size that matches you.
