It's All About Style!

So I got the opportunity to review these sunglasses from Catania. At first, I was a bit skeptical because these sunglasses aren't exactly the style that I'm used to wearing. I usually wear the sport sunglasses that wrap around the side of your head. These sunglasses don't do that. They are straight, with zero curves.

After trying them on though, I thought they looked super cool! I could totally see myself wearing them with my more business casual outfits. So here's a breakdown of the pros and cons for these sunglasses.  



Pros:

• They keep the sun out, which is the primary purpose for getting sunglasses.
• They are stylish! Like I said, they go great with my business casual outfits. They just add a bit more class.
• They fit well.
• Comes with a soft bag and cleaning cloth.
• I can use the front of the lenses as a mirror for a quick spot check! 

Cons:

• If the sun is behind you, it glares against the glasses into your eyes.
• If the sun is at your side, there isn't any shade to block the sun, so it gets in your eyes then too.

Those are the only complaints I have really. As I mentioned, they're really all about style! It's like wearing uncomfortable shoes just to get that look you want, except these sunglasses do have some great functionality. They work great as sunglasses in any situation, except the two cons I mentioned. To be honest though, in the summer months that wouldn't even be a problem because the sun gets up high in the sky so quickly.

Overall, I think these are great! My kids love them too. My oldest especially keeps on asking me if he can wear them! If you're looking for a great pair of sunglasses that also give you style points, you've found them.

Best Sun Glasses!

So I couldn't help myself from putting this post under the BSG tab. Normally it's the place that I post all of my Business Strategy Game stuff, but come on...Best Sun Glasses! I couldn't resist.

So I'm usually the guy who buys his sunglasses from a gas station or Walmart for $10-$15. I don't like to spend a lot on them because I usually end up misplacing them somewhere. I'm also pretty particular on the fit of the glasses I buy.

 

The X-Loop sunglasses really are amazing! I'm pretty hesitant to purchase sunglasses online because I can't try them on, but man...these proved to be totally worth it! First of all, they fit inside of my budget. They only cost $14.95 on Amazon, plus free shipping with Amazon Prime. They fit very well, except they were a little high up on my nose due to my wider than average nose. My wife tried them on and it fit her nose perfectly! I later realized that I could solve that problem by simply adjusting the metal nose holders. They fit perfectly now!

They are super comfortable around the side of my head, which is always a huge issue for me. They also work perfectly in the snow, sunshine, or glare off of cars. We recently got 15" of snow here and they were awesome for keeping my eyes protected from the blinding glare of the sun off of the snow. So I can imagine that they'd be incredible for skiing. I can't wait to try them out on the slopes!

They are very good quality glasses as well as CE certified. The case that they come with is amazing! It's a silver case with padding inside to protect the sun glasses. They are incredibly durable and well padded. My youngest child threw the case with the glasses in them and they had no indication of damage whatsoever.

Overall, I'm incredibly pleased with these shades. I can't even think of any downside to them! I'd definitely pay the $14.95 for them, especially since I get a sweet case with it! I'm pretty sure no sunglasses I ever bought from Walmart or a gas station ever came with a case, or even a cloth sac to put them in.

So if you want some more details on them, go check them out on Amazon. You can either click on the top picture or click here to see them.
