text: I love the style of these sunglasses, but they are not, as described above, polarized.  They failed every test of polarization.  But if you don't care about this anti-glare technology -- or don't want it since it makes it difficult to look at electronic screens such as GPS devices and cell phones -- then these might be for you.  Even though they have that retro style, they are modern enough to look chic.  They have floating silicone nose pads for comfort; thin gold-tones wire rims on the bottom of the lenses; and a plastic tortoise shell frame top that extends into the arms as well.  These sit comfortably on my face without sliding down my nose.  Besides the lack of polarization, the only thing I'm not wild about is the style of the bridge -- the gold-tone design looks a little cheap, much more so than the rest of the glasses.  For the current price of $20, these are priced right and are a great choice for the style.  Note:  I received a free sample for review.<br /><br />-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann
