Ray-Ban RB 8306 sunglasses Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just received these shades and am so very impressed by their build quality and precision construction.These seem machined out of a sheet of carbon fiber fabric, unlike so many other brands which feature cheap molded plastic frames (often times, poorly finished with molding flash creating sharp edges or seams).The carbon-fiber frame is exceptionally strong and flexible, but is also feather light (it seems like you can wring the Dickens out of the frame and it won't break).The aluminum block hinges work well and don't feel like they're going to break after just a few uses.The lenses are outstanding, with polarization to block out some unwanted shine and just enough mirroring to ensure privacy.Not sure what the light permissivity is for these glasses, but it is decent enough for good light reduction on a very bright day.On the face, these are extremely light and firm fitting, and fit very well over the cheek bones.Having been a previous Oakley wearer, there is no comparison in quality between the two brands; Ray Ban solidly takes the prize and make the Oakleys feel positively cheap and fragile in comparison.

The only con I can come up with is that the nose pads were slightly out of alignment when I received the glasses, but they were easily adjusted. Not a big deal, but for $170, every little criticism counts.

All-in-all, it is so refreshing to be able to drop $170 on a pair of premium sunglasses and actually feel -- in your hand and on your face -- the quality that makes you think, "man, these were actually worth the price".

Solidly recommended.
