Ray-Ban Men's RB4179 Liteforce Square Sunglasses

UPDATE 4/21/2015I have had these for 2 years now. The lenses are a little scratched up but that is entirely my fault for not protecting them when not worn. The frame still seems to be in good shape. No blistering, like some of the other reviews say, so I’m wondering if some people are getting knock-offs.I love the lens color. I’ve never had Ray Ban green before, but I will never buy grey lenses again. They look black from the outside, but the green lens gives a very naturally tinted appearance without washing out colors like grey lenses do.The lenses do scratch if not taken care of, but these are also very dressy, not sporty, glasses. Therefore, don’t expect something heavy duty you can throw around in your car. I’ve worn these to several weddings and I still get compliments on them. But I also wear them on the beach so I’ve exposed them to plenty of danger.The fit is perfect for me, but I can understand some of the bad reviews for not fitting people but I would think that would be the case with all glasses ever made. These are not adjustable in anyway, so either they fit or they don’t. You really need to try these on prior to purchasing. With me, I knew they were perfect the first second I tried them on, but Sunglass Hut wanted about $50 more so I had no choice but to walk away and order online.Two cons that don’t take away stars:The case is garbage. It cracked in the cold winter by leaving them in my car. I purchased a hard clam shell case that is better in every way.The frame is so light and barely holds on that it is impossible to store them on top of your head, and putting them on top of a baseball cap is an instant drop. They fell off the top of my head onto the concrete at least 5 times now. But again, that’s because they are so light, I forget they are up there, and then I bend over to reach for a pocket in my golf bag, and bang!In conclusion, they are definitely not for everyone, but if you want undetectably light frames with a timeless and dressy look, these are a great choice if you are lucky enough to be a good fit for the frame shape.ORIGINAL REVIEW:So light weight. I feel like I need to be super careful with these and I'm trying to baby them. After having heavy Oakley Juliets for 10 years, this was a big change for me. I love them and I can barely feel them at all when worn. The lens color makes colors appear very natural with a just enough tint to be comfortable in the sunniest days. The size of the lens give me a huge field of view that I am just not used to. I can't believe I have been missing out on glasses like this all my life. Oakley Juliets have such a small field of view and a thick bar of a frame that it obstructs your vision. Not these Ray Bans. You have to strain your eyes pretty hard to see the frame.I'm sure these are not for everyone though. Try them out in the stores first because they do not have any sort of nose pad. The frame sits directly on your nose and they are not adjustable at all. They fit me perfectly and are very comfortable. My eyebrows lightly brush the lenses which causes oil to get on them, but I think this would be the case for me with any style.So the glasses themselves are 5 star. My only complaint is that I hate the case. The case totally sucks and it's impossible for one handed operation because the leather flap is sprung down very tight. I will be shopping for a clam shell style case that fits this. But don't let that change your mind on the glasses. They are top notch.

I saw these sunglasses at a leading sunglasses retailer which are located in just about every mall here in the US. I liked the fit and the style, but not for $210. So I did what anyone would do and checked Amazon. The price was much better for the exact same sunglasses. I was concerned about purchasing them online, but they came well packaged with the original packaging intact.Now to the sunglasses. They are great. I've used them for running and driving and they excel at both. They are lightweight, so I usually forget I am wearing them. I typically have to run back out to the car to put them away. They are comfortable and fit my face well for not having adjustable parts on them like my previous pairs. They stay secure with the windows down and the wind blowing. They also don't bounce at all when running, which can happen with some sunglasses and it just super annoying.They are lightweight but not flimsy. The plastic material is flexable but never feels like it's going to break. I wouldn't test the material too much but I'm not worried about them breaking at all. I got a hard case for them for airplane travel, since the ray-ban case that comes with it is a little soft.These will be great for years to come. The seller was fast with the shipping and did a great job packing them. They even sent a follow up email to make sure everything went okay.

I bought these through amazon because a retail store was selling the same pair for about 70 dollars more, not including taxes.That being said, I would recommend you go to a retail store to try these (or any sunglasses) before buying them to try out the fit, look, material.This brings me to my next point. Some people think the plastic material used on the frame can feel a little cheap but that is the point of this pair. The plastic makes them super light weight and, while it can feel a little cheap, you will find these very comfortable to wear. You might even forget you're wearing them.I knew what I was getting into when I got these so I suggest everyone be aware as well. I love my pair and while I've only had them a few days, my last pair were Ray Bans also and lasted me for years before I decided to get these.I got the polarized lenses and they are not very dark, but that is my preferred style so just keep that in mind. They work great and don't fall off or anything. I'm very happy so far, if anything weird happens, I will update.

I went into a sunglasses store and basically asked to see some of their lightest models. I've purchased a series of somewhat expensive sunglasses without trying them on in person because I'd found good deals online, but this method has led me to be unhappy with those purchases because I never wanted to wear them more than 15 minutes at a time because the weight would become uncomfortable. These sunglasses are super light and comfortable. I can wear them all day and they still feel great. The optics are perhaps not as clear as some of the other glass optics I've had, but they are good enough, and what you sacrifice in clarity you make up in weight savings. I'm also very enamored to the styling of these, but that's a personal taste sort of thing. Of course, as with most sunglasses, these are made by the same international corporation that has a near monopoly, so the prices are absurd, but given all that, I very much love these sunglasses.

I have worn these nearly every day for a couple of years. I live at high altitude in sunny Colorado, so they are needed. They are quite dark and wrap around, so block a lot of light. They aren’t great in lower light or cloudy conditions because of this. I take care of them but still, I’m surprised they have no scratches, indicating whatever coating they have is very effective. Worth the price.

Expensive to buy BUT feels like cheap plastic which I think it is. The ones at the mall feels heavy while this one online, is very light and cheap plastic from China.
