Edge Kazbek XL Polarized Wrap-Around Safety Glasses

I bought these for work since I'm out in the sun often throughout the day. I like that they are polarized and they quell the brightness quite effectively. They're good safety glasses - I've dropped them quite a few times. I've had these for 6 months now, wear them 5 days out of the week in a shop environment, and it's still hanging in there. They actually have become my go-to shades - at work and outside of work - because they fit my wide face, they're comfortable, and I'm not concerned too much about breaking them. Some comments I've received from my co-workers are "Hey cool shades", "Come with me if you want to live!", "You look like a west coast gangster", "Damn - I didn't do it..." - not really what I was going for, but I'll take it.

I purchased the black frame with smoke lens. The frame is both durable and flexible with a patterned bridge to hold them in place securely at three points. They're just a little larger than most sunglasses to fit my XL head great without slipping, and wrap completely to eliminate any side-glare. I haven't had them out on the water yet but the tag says they transmit only 15% of light - not quite the welding-glasses we sometimes need in SE Florida but strong enough. The lenses are typical glossy - not matte as the photo suggests. I've purchased several utilitarian sunglasses in this price range on Amazon and these have made the best impression on me by far - I feel that they are a good value for folks like me who need to replace sunglasses frequently.

Bought the yellow lens ones at my local store. Then so pleased i bought these on amazon. Very comfortable with the same frames in both pairs. Appreciate the ear area and nose comfort of the frames. Dont slip when sweating in the heat. Run a bit wide in a good way. Dont make me pretty but sure are great for eye protection during summer yard work. I wear the yellow ones for night driving and as a blue light filter on the computer. Very pleased.

I have gotten glasses from the seller before and as long as I didn't get bug spray on them, they seemed to work really well. I thought that getting these ones, as the other ones are no longer being sold, would be the best option. I love that they don't touch my nose because I have issues with glasses that touch my nose, And I think overall they would have a good fit, but I apparently got the wrong size. I thought extra large was my size but apparently it's not, and that's not against the seller. That's my own fault for not realizing it and doing more research. I was just desperate to have sunglasses. That being said, they still fit pretty well and even though they're not as tight on my head as I would like, I did keep them. And I still use them from time to time, and I still would recommend buying them if you're interested in them. Just make sure you try to measure your head and compare it with the size here. I should've done that, but I didn't think too. Either way, great item. I'm not sure if they're scratch resistant because I haven't had that issue yet. I'm very careful with this kind of sunglasses because they are a little bit more expensive, but considering what you get out of this item and the seller I would say they are well worth the price.

I ordered two pair after trying my brothers Kazbeks on. I usually lose my sunglasses so I ordered two pair. The fit so well on my face and my ballcap that I am still wearing my first pair and the second pair are on the shelf waiting. They still don't have any scratches on the lenses which in my book is super. can't find a single thing I don't like about these glasses

This review may help you decide whether to buy the XL version versus the regular-size version, and may help you decide whether to buy the copper “driving lens” in comparison to a darker shade like the G-15 lens. I bought these safety glasses to use simply as regular sunglasses. I believe their ability to block the vast majority of blue light protects the eye and increases visual clarity. I now own four pair of Edge Kasbek copper lens and four pair of Edge Kadbek G-15 lens of these sunglasses, all regular size (not XL size). My hat size is 7 5/8 with short hair, 7 ¾ with long hair. People I know tell me I have a very wide face. My head size is over the 100 percentile for men, confirmed by my daughter’s pediatrician, explaining why her head is also over the 100 percentile. Given this, I ordered the XL version and found that the XL frames are so wide, they leave an aesthetically unacceptable gap between my temples and the glasses (think clown glasses). I admit that the XL were very comfortable, and fit well, but I returned them because they look too wide for my face. I ordered the regular size and although they were tight at first (at the points behind the ears), over time have loosened up and now feel perfect. Looking at myself in the mirror, these regular size glasses don’t touch my temples, and leave no indentations or marks on my face after removing them. A comparison between the copper lens and the G-15 lens: The copper lens makes everything orange and seemingly brighter and clearer with more contrast. The G-15 lens darkens everything in a grey-green shade (this lens is designed to let in more green light – check manufacturer’s website). I own and love them both. I store both lenses in each vehicle and change lenses based on available light conditions. My commute is 45 minutes. While there was snow on the ground, I found myself reaching for the G-15 lens even in low light (cloudy) conditions. With no snow, the G-15 lens was most comfortable on sunny and mostly sunny days (such as gardening and yard work), and the copper lens was more comfortable on partly sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, and hazy days. When I go out of town (more than an hour drive) and it happens to be a bright, sunny day, I may wear the G-15 lens for part of the drive, but eye fatigue makes me switch to the copper lens. The additional light it allows is refreshing on longer drives. I have worn the copper lens in both dusk and dawn conditions. At dusk, my reaction is to remove them about 15-20 minutes before my GPS changes to night mode. I have also tried the copper lens in night conditions. It does make the headlights of passing cars easier on the eyes, but I can’t recommend it because my eyes strain for all available light most other times. Good: The materials and construction of these glasses is top notch for the price. These are solidly built and exceed the value of all other sunglasses I’ve considered in this price range. It is my opinion that these Edge glasses also exceed the value of the well-known high end brands (you name it). Bad: The word “polarized” is etched in white on the right eye lens in the upper-outside corner, and the marking “E+S” is etched into the bottom outside corner of each right and left eye lens. The E+S is large, approximately font size 10. It doesn’t obscure my vision and my brain has learned to ignore it. It is there to signify that the lens has passed the safety specifications and ANSI standards (per customer service). The ANSI standard marking “Z87+” for high impact is found on the inside of both temples. These glasses do have quality control issues with regard to the polarization angle not being the same in each lens (mentioned in another review). The difficulty you will experience with this will depend upon your intended use of these glasses. I only notice it in stationary or slow moving environments: on daily walks, glare off of parked car windshields, objects with tarps over them, garden hose. But this hasn’t been an issue while driving, or in fast moving environments such as the reflection off of moving water when boating or fishing. Enjoy your sunglasses. Please let me know if this review was helpful.

the clear version is way wider , they’re probably nice glasses but not wide Xl at all

Muy padres y cumplen con la norma. Recuerda que son xl. Para cabeza grande.

Thought it would fit my face comfortably but it was very uncomfortable and had to return it.

I really like these for work. The do scratch fairly easily otherwise they're large, comfortable and polarized.

These didn't make my girlfriend look any better
