text: I recently bought the 'Delirium Aviator' & the 'Pallavicini' models of the iSKi sunglasses, & for cheap @ $7.00/pr., & they are decent enough.  Although I do own an older original model of iSki sunglasses bought in CO back around 2000, probably for around $15.  And the older model (no actual model name listed on the sunglass frame) has very nice Rose-Colored Lens in them, tinted more heavily on the top & bottom portion of the lens.  Naturally, the Rose Tinting accentuates and intensifies most colors, which is very pleasant.  Neither the Delirium of Palla frames are exactly the preferred shape of my originals, but fairly close.  My originals had sort of that traditional Aviator lens shape, (in plastic frames) but less tear-dropped shaped, more flattened on the bottom, giving them a slightly smaller frame & lens.  I have loved my original iSKI's & have always been afraid of losing or breaking them, which is why I took a chance and bought these newer models of the ISKI brand.  And the new models do have the Silver/Reflective lens as do the old models,  I like the fact that these iSKI sunglasses don't have those wrap-around frames which gives me the look of a glassy-eyed outer-space alien, one of those Greys.  I prefer the old school RayBan frame styles, which these have.<br /><br />My only complaint about +90% of the sunglasses traditionally found on Sunglass Racks is that they rarely offer any sunglasses with darker tinted lens.  My eyes are sensitive to very bright sunlight, and if I am skiing, the snow is extremely bright at times & hurts my eyes with most models of sunglasses.  Luckily, I have found a couple pairs of truly dark lens sunglasses and revert to using those on blindingly  sunny days.  Right now I just use the iSKI models for driving, if it is not terrifically bright & sunny.<br /><br />I have a pair of sunglasses that I got for free with some product long ago, they are called 'Happy Cat' sunglasses w/smiling cat face on one stem, & the trademark &#34;Twins&#34; on the other ear stem, and these Happy Cat's have the some of the darkest lens I have ever used, but they are truly perfect for sun bleached days.  Although the Happy Cat sunglasses look like kid's sunglasses, one stem bright yellow, the other stem white, the frame red.  These TWIN Happy Cats were made in Taiwan, I wish I could find another pair......<br /><br />I also have a pair of Italian made sunglasses, made by L.G.R. (Freetown model I believe?), that were given to me by a friend who said the lenses (dark greenish tint) were way too dark for him, but they are perfect for me in harsh sunlight.  However, the TWIN 'Happy Cats' actually have an even darker tint, grey.<br /><br />I sort of wish the new owners of ISKI made some models with darker lens tints, and maybe sturdier frames, I know I would be willing to pay more for darker lenses, mirroring not necessary, in mostly traditionally shaped frames.  But naturally, pleasing everyone when it comes to sunglasses is impossible.  Certain shape sunglass frames just go right with certain face shapes.  Determine what looks best, and feels best for you and stick with that shape, but too each their own.  There are certainly some wild-ass sunglasses out there these days, and some people look pretty good in them, but not everyone can successfully pull it off, but it doesn't stop them from trying.<br /><br />Since sunglasses often have to take a beating, I have lost or broken so many over the years, that I refuse to pay Big Bucks for sunglasses anymore, and these new iSKI's at $7 are a good bang for the buck.  ISKI has down some inventive frame color combos which are fun.<br />I'd just like some darker tinted lenses, with maybe lens color choices in grey, green, rose/red, purple, & blue....is that asking too much?  Probably.  Oh well.  Hard to go too wrong for $7; but I'd pay more for the aforementioned options.ins&#34; on the other ear stem, and these Happy Cat's have the some of the darkest lens I have ever used, but they are truly perfect for sun bleached days.
