Ryders Eyewear Jolt Polar Sunglasses Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review is of the plain gloss black frame with brown polar lenses.

I usually wear cheap, $20 drugstore sunglasses. I bought these because (1) I liked the idea of the anti-slip nose and ear pieces for outdoor activities; (2) I wanted to try polarized lenses to see if they're really that much better; (3) I wanted a slightly nicer look than my cheap glasses.

The fit was terrible on me, but I'm reviewing just the look and quality impressions, since everyone's face is different. If you have a small-to-medium face and the bridge of your nose is relatively flat, these might not work well for you.The description said the nose piece is adjustable, but it's not as adjustable as glasses where the nose pads are on those little metal arms that can be tweaked fairly independently of the frame. The nose pad on these is rubber over wire, and it seems they could move only sideways, not up or down.I didn't really try since I was returning the glasses.

I had ordered the gloss black with tortoise frame, but was sent the plain gloss black frame. The quality seems fine. The look was a bit disappointing. Wasn't too crazy about the shiny black plastic; to me, they didn't look much different than cheap drugstore glasses. I haven't had polarized lenses before so no real basis for comparison, but the view didn't seem especially amazing. I guess I'd hoped for a noticeable improvement by paying a bit more.Since I didn't wear them for extended periods I can't say how well the anti-slip works.

So overall these seem like they would be solid, functional basic sunglasses, but the full price seems a bit high.Maybe worth it if they fit you well and if the anti-slip feature really works.

Product Description:
Ryders Polarized Sunglasses Focus on the PathNot Just a Yogic Saying, But a Mantra for Athletic Polarized Performance When light hits a flat surface like the winding blacktop of today's century, the grass alongside your favourite five mile loop or the freshly fallen powder stretching to the valley beneath your skis, it is concentrated and reflected upwards as blinding glare.Ryders POLARIZED sunglasses allow only the essential light to pass through, eliminating glare and giving you clearer vision, better depth perception and accurate colour representation. Made from scratch-resistant polycarbonate, Ryders POLARIZED lenses are optically correct to ensure that you see what is ahead clearly. No more squinting, no more headaches and no more glare. Now you will be able to focus on what is really important, like passing that person in front of you."Over the last decade, we spent six years in the saddle and rode some 60,000 kilometers as we travelled around the Pacific Ring of Fire, completing our "cyclovolcanic" quest. By circumnavigating the world's largest ocean on our bikes we saw hundreds of volcanoes, met the warmest people, and experienced the wonders of the Pacific Rim's rich and diverse cultures. Our Ryders were the perfect sunglasses for this cycling odyssey. The polarized lenses reduced glare, stood up to the elements and allowed us to see the Ring of Fire, from sunrise to sunset, smoky summit craters to sandy beaches with breathtaking clarity...no doubt that they enhanced our trip!"Janick Lemieux & Pierre Bouchard - Global Adventurers
