I originally bought a pair of polycarbonate glasses for fishing to save some money. Bad move. The Riptides have a glass photochromic lens, which is much better than polycarbonate. The copper lens is crystal clear, and the photochromic feature works even inside a car. Many reviewers seem concerned about whether glasses will fog--they all will in the right circumstances. The Riptides fit pretty closely and have a good wrap to keep out light, so, yes, they may fog easier than frames with less side protection. All in all, the best lenses I've every used.

Strength:

Stylish looks Quality glass Action Optics Customer Service

Weakness:

The Japanese-made frames are of average quality. Higher quality Italian frames should be used in this caliber of sunglasses. Small fit -- not made for big guys Lens fog in warm weather, cold weather, or when your face is hot or sweaty.

The Riptide are a nice pair of sunglasses. They are solid and durable, and the clearwater copper glass lens are clear and distortion-free. Beware, however, that these glasses are small in size -- they're not made for big guys and they're highly prone to fogging.

Customer Service

First Class and friendly.
