Have I told you yet how much my riding options expanded once I discovered polarized lenses? I had been a regular customer of another brand with interchangeable lenses until they discontinued the only model that fit my face, and all the spare lenses became blurry with scratches. Proper sunglasses for outdoor activities can be quite an investment, and while fit is extremely important (shouldn’t be able to see outside the frame, nor have eyelashes touch the lens); testing out different models inside a retail store is definitely a challenge. In-store demonstrations don’t emphasize the decreased strain on your eyes and the rest of your face, over several hours.
Pepper's Folsom Sunglasses
Fortunately, Peppers Sunglasses come in at much more reasonable prices, fit my small face, are fashionable and even have scratch-proof lenses. A Pittsburgh-local company, the various designs carry an unlimited lifetime warranty, so there isn’t much risk to the buyer. Peppers is no stranger to taking risks, though. They have a rubberized frame in their collection: the Catamaran. I have yet to try these out, and wonder if they are even lighter in weight, possibly stretchy, or get caught on hair – as compared to the Folsom shades I have. Lastly, the megol nose pad found on most models is less of a liability when I land on my face. Thank you for that.
