Kaenon Eden Sunglasses

A while back, I lost two pairs of sunglasses into the river in two weeks. I resigned myself to buying yet another new pair of sunglasses and ordered five, yes, five pairs to compare and contrast.I can't tell a lie—as I asked everyone I knew what they thought, these were definitely the most divisive of the bunch. Big glasses seem to get that reaction—you either love them or hate them. Personally, I loved them right off the bat; despite the fact that they are big, I like big, and they fit perfectly (and I have a pretty small head). I especially love the fact that they don't slip when I'm running or rowing and that the lenses cover the entire eye area. Once I have them on, I can completely forget I'm wearing them. Two minor criticisms—on the bike, the wind rushes by more audibly than normal and the wider arms end up slightly reducing the field of vision when you turn your head over your shoulder.Super-detailed specs: at their widest, the glasses are 140cm wide. The distance between the ends of the arms is 91cm.Each lens is about 45cm high x 60cm wide and the frame of each eye is about 54x70cm.

These are described by Kaenon as WOMEN'S glasses. I liked these above all the other women's "retro/big" Kaenons because they have the non-slip pads so they won't slide down your nose when you sweat. They are also they only women's "sport" glasses (thus the nose pads) whereas all the others are "fashion." It just so happens that they felt the most comfortable of any pair I tried on, women's or unisex. The Kaenons all feel dramatically different on your head; I recommend you try several pair and send back what you don't want!

These are Kaenons, so lens quality is said for. I'm only commenting on the look of the shades. These are "retro-inspired" shades, meaning they look like (somewhat) updated versions of sunglasses from movies depicting 1960-ish women in convertibles wearing lots of lipstick. I was going for a particular look w/ my shades, so I tried the Eden, Georgia, and Porter. Decided to keep the Georgia but that's just personal preference.

i disagree with hobo66, i didn't find these shades heavy... not at all. when i first ordered them i thought they were going to be heavy but they are in fact fairly light. way lighter than any of my spy sunglasses. it comes with a really cool case. these fit my face perfectly, but i have a pretty small face. i just wish the lenses were even bigger.... =P

I have been looking for a great pair of fashion sunglasses for some time and have tried them all. Finally, a salesperson introduced me to kaenon. I loved how the eden looked and felt but most importantly was the polarized lens and the clear visibility. These classes clearly outperformed all others with a reasonable price. Fashion and performance!
