I have had these sunglasses a couple weeks now and I can say I am happy with them. These glasses have a quality view and definitely look good compared to anything I have had before. One thing I like is that they fit snug to my face, and I have a somewhat narrow one, and do not slide down my nose if I lean forward--even while sweating. They have rubber pads inside the nose piece that help grip the glasses to the face and keep them from sliding even when your face is greasy or sweating. The only downside, and my only complaint, of this "snug fit" is that I can feel a slight pinch behind my ears after a few hours of wear, but honestly it is not too bad and probably better than constantly slipping if I were active while wearing them.

I have tried almost every brand of sunglasses and there are few brands that match Kaenon's Quality and Value. The Copper lenses are incredible, great for driving, they make colors more vivid, and if you go to the beach or the water a lot like I do, the clarity when looking into the water is unparalleled. I give them 4 stars for style only because I have a small face and so they left a gap around the hinges that I didn't like, so I exchanged them for Kaenon UPD's (my first exchange with Zappos and I was very impressed). If you have a medium to large face, get these, you won't be disappointed. I wish they fit me better.

Kaenon sunglasses definitely have high end optics. The view through is sharp and clear, and superior to the naked eye. Polarized lenses are pretty much a must for any activity on the water, and are nice to have all the time. I have reddish lenses on these, which are good for medium light to low light, and makes the scenery especially pretty! I can get away with the reddish lenses in full sun, but I don't recommend them for full sun on snow. The Beacon sunglasses are a nice, basic style. I find them slightly wide for my narrow face, but that is the case with almost all sunglasses I've tried.

In the UK we are shielded from many of the worlds top products but I make it my business to hunt down the top gear. I had never heard of Kaenon but was on a mission to snag some when I'd read all the recommendations. My wife uses these for Golf mainly - they are a little narrow for my wide face, not sure if they do wider frames - and they are hands down the finest quality optics she has had. Clear as a bell in fact. The build quality is excellent, if only they were a little less expensive then maybe I could afford some for myself :(

Initially, I was drawn to this pair due to the combination tortoise shell frame and grey lenses which is uncommon but preferred by me. I hadn't heard of Kaenon before. I have to say that for the other high end sunglasses I've bought, the fit and construction of these actually match the price. These sunglasses are incredibly comfortable with the inset rubber in the nose piece and the temples that wrap to hold them firmly yet comfortably on your head. The lenses are as good if not better than Maui Jim, the lens technology leverages the durability of polycarbonate and the clarity of glass.

I love my Kaenon glasses. The lenses are so crystal clear and with the polarized lenses I never have to squint any more. My eyes are very sensitive and I've always worn polarized lenses but there is something about these lenses that are different, they are just better than everything else (and I've worn all the best brands, Maui, Smith, Oakley) These frames fit my face perfectly as well. In a world of over sized sunglasses it is hard to find a nice small to medium face fit - these are perfect. Worth every cent!!!

Kaenon Lens are the best around this is the third pair I have bought in two years. I have then in the copper and dark lens now. I like the copper during the winter when it is foggy in the morning. These glasses cut the fog and make it so easy to drive.
I fish a lot these glasses help me spot fish in the water without a problem. Great product.

Chris at Backcountry.com on 01/14/2010

Kaenon lenses are some of the best out there. If you have ever worn glass you know what good optics should LOOK like, but if you are used to wearing polycarbonate (what Smith, Oakley, Maui and other use) then you have NO idea how good it can be!!! These lenses blow the competition away and you will never want to wear anything else!

Stacy Newton at Backcountry.com on 02/11/2009

Kaenon's lenses are really some of the best plastic lenses out there, so their sunglasses tend to have good contrast and clarity. The fit is good and secure, the rubber pads are not slipping, and the frame quality is very high. These are not cheap shades, but you do get what you pay for.

Yes, so these are probably the best sunglasses I've ever worn, period. Whether it's the fit or the lenses, i just haven't found a better pair out there. They are expensive, but you get what you pay for, and that's a high quality pair of peeper protectors. Get em.

the lenses in these keanon shades are crystal clear and drown out a lot of glare. they fit snugly and are maybe better fitting for a smaller face than mine.
