GOWOOD Wood Sunglasses Mens & Women Polarized | Walnut Wood Temples & Black or Transparent Acetate Frame | UV400 CE Lenses

I'm really not digging the 'I bought this item at a discount for my honest opinion' fad going on around amazon. So I'd like to start this review by stating I paid full price for these glasses, so this is really my honest opinion.My old pair of sunglasses (rayban wayfarer 2) took an unfortunate dive into the lake this 4th of July, so now I'm looking for some less expensive but still quality sunglasses. This review will mostly be me comparing them to my old raybans, which I feel could be helpful since they are basically the standard for build qualityMy first impression when I got these glasses was how light they were. They only weigh a few grams. I'm used to my hefty and solid plastic raybans, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The wood saves a ton of weight since it's full of air, and the fibers in the bamboo actually make the arms stronger than plastic in my opinion.I was worried the arms would be huge and thick like other wooden glasses. I was pleased to see they're almost identical to the raybans and not blocky at all.The hinges are large and strong like raybans, but there is some wiggle in the arms. I've notice the screws holding the bamboo to the hinges can't be tightened too much or they risk stripping the wood, so I'm considering dropping some epoxy in there to stiffen it up.The lenses are great! And really that's what sunglasses are for, right? My old raybans weren't polarized (I already shelled out 130 for them, I couldn't afford the nicer lenses), but these lenses far surpass my old glasses. There's hardly any glare on other cars and they don't change the colors of the world drastically like some glasses.The actual lens frames (the black part) felt like bamboo at first, so I was impressed with how nicely they were carved and left wondering how they did it. Upon further inspection I found injection points hidden at the arm joints, confirming they are in fact plastic. I'm okay with them being plastic, but I'm a tad concerned with how light weight the plastic is. The density feels similar to the bamboo, not the high density stuff raybans are made off. It is very easy to bend, so I'm careful opening and closing the arms, but I obviously haven't pushed it, so I can't vouch for how strong they actually are. I also really like that they went for a matte black finish, I think shiny plastic looks tacky.I also have some concerns about the bamboo. I know that wood expands and contracts with water, so I dont know how much that will effect the arms. I'm cautious about getting them wet, so that can be a problem for the lake/beaches. They likely sealed the wood, but I'm still not sure.The size are very similar to raybans. I've noticed a lot of wayfarer imitators make the lenses huge. These fit my face very nicely.Overall I'm very pleased with these glasses. They are very stylish and I've gotten more compliments from them in the past week than I did after years of owning raybans. I'll be happy if they last a year before something breaks, and will be impressed if they last 2 years. But at 35 dollars, I consider it worth the risk.

Finally giving these a review, years later, they’re great, durable, not scratched, came in a nice wood box.

Glasses are great! have owned many over my lifetime (from expensive designer, to knock offs) and I would have to say that these by far have been the best. They are so light weight I forget I am wearing them most of the time and the the clarity is insane...! It's like your vision was with 4k technology... But the one problem I have noticed after having the glassed for about 6 weeks is that there are these streaky fade marks making there way across the lenses. I am not certain if this is fading or stress fractures..??? I live in Arizona and the summer is brutal, so maybe these lenses aren't made to withstand the heat.... Other than that I have been pretty happy with this purchase and get many compliment on the design and feel. I may message the seller to find out more about the lens streak and update with more info as I get it.

These are very nice shades. I love the way they feel on my head, very nice and light fit ;)I have to admit, I'm a bit of a sunglasses freak and have a few pairs of Persols, Raybans, and Oakleys to name a few. As far as overall quality and design go, I would say these are pretty darn close to the Luxottica branded sunglasses. These are certainly the nicest sub $150 lenses I own.I plan to purchase a few more pairs as my fiancee steals these from me all the time, and they are great enough and priced well enough to keep pairs at home, car, work, etc. They really do look great on both men and women.A added bonus is that these come with not only a very nice hard case, but also a nice thick smaller carry bag. I will say the solid wood case is much higher in quality than any case I ever received from any Luxottica Branded pair of sunglasses that I have ever purchased.Many kudos GOWOOD!

I love these because they're cheap! I grabbed a pair before going to Hawaii because the polarized lenses helped to see rocks in the water a little better and didn't mind if they broke or got lost on the trip. Didn't want to lose my wayfarers. Honestly i don't even wear my folding non polarized wayfarers anymore these feel better not as tight and better clarity. Nice box. Be careful cleaning them the lenses pop out pretty easily and my first pair the plastic around the lense snapped randomly one day just from the heat in my car. Wasn't wearing them just came back to broken glasses. All in all though for the price they're worth it.

Very impressed! I'm am professional custom wood worker, and very much so a perfectionist. So, you can count on it that I am holding these glasses to a very high standard. They were shipped very promptly. The well made bamboo box they come in is a great first impression. Wooden arms are certainly made with quality walnut, which can be tough to find now a days. Lenses are clear and polarization is done well. My only critiques are the intentional curve to the arms is a little much, making them a little tight above the ears. I just had to relieve the curve slightly with an iron and steam and all is well. Also, the wood seems to be unfinished and a matte finish would be a nice touch. They are definitely made with quality in mind and held to great standards!! Love them!

The sunglasses arrived as advertised contained in a wooden hard carrying case, with the soft carrying bag inside. I liked that they came with a small polarization test strip that had text that's only really visible when you're looking through a polarized lens.The glasses are very sturdy and you can tell they're well built. They look great! I noticed that the wood on one side wasn't as dark as I expected it to be, but since wood has so much variation it's to be expected and doesn't look bad at all. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Acquistati ormai diversi anni fa e ancora sono integri e belli come il primo giorno.Arrivano con una bella custodia molto solida in legno con l’interno in tessuto, gli occhiali sono davvero ben fatti e le lenti proteggono bene gli occhi nelle giornate di sole.Rapporti qualità prezzo buonissimo!Li riacquisterò sicuramente in un altro modello.

pensavo molto meglio l'aquisto,le aste degli occhiali di bambu' graffiano dietro l'orecchio gli occhiali non rendono a livello di specchi come vorrei li sto usando quasi niente, li ho riposto nella sua scatola di legno,forse la cosa migliore la scatola di legno,non consiglio l'aquisto,deluso sia dalla montatura che dalla visione polaroid,forse e' un mio problema il legno dietro alle orecchie,perche' col metallo non ho problemi.dopo averle messe ancora qualche volta noto che anche gli specchi non sono buoni

Hallo,War am Anfang sehr zufrieden mit dieser Sonnenbrille. Bis ich nach paar Wochen merkte das sich der Lack im Bereich der Nase am Brillenrahmen(Siehe Bilder) löste. Bin seitdem sehr enttäuscht von dieser Sonbenbrille. Weil ich das für eine Brille für 40€ das Stück nicht erwartet hätte.

Sehr gut verarbeitete Sonnenbrille! Die Version in Bambus sieht echt toll aus und ist echt ein richtiger Hingucker!Polarisation funktioniert auch sehr gut. Gerade nach dem Regen bemerkt man einen großen Unterschied zur normalen Sonnenbrille.Mit der Verpackung in der Bambus-Klappbox inklusive Nylon-Schutzbeutel kann man sie auch sehr gut in der Tasche transportieren, wenn man sie gerade mal nicht benötigt.Nur zu empfehlen!

Die Brille ist sehr schön👍Der Versand erfolgte innerhalb eines Tages 👍Leider muss ich sie zurücksenden, da sie für mein eher schmales Gesicht viel zu groß ist.Wertige Ausführung und die hellen Bügel runden die Extravaganz ab👍
