perfect lightweight polarized photochromatic shade

good size, good fit; great sun protection, no squinting; would might prefer a more adjustable nose cushion?..so i can more mold it to my face a bit, but for price point; quality is impossible to beat

The Perfect Sunglasses

As a ski coach, I need sunglasses that are lightweight, versatile, and high-performance—and the Glade Optics Townie XL delivers. The Reveal Photochromatic lens adapts seamlessly to changing light, making it perfect for long days on the mountain. They’re so light and comfortable I forget I’m wearing them, whether I’m coaching, skiing, or heading to après.

Better than Oakley

I’ve worn out two pairs of Oakleys, but I’m so glad I discovered Glade. I have a big noggin, but the Townie XL fits me perfectly.
They sre comfortable enough to forget, I am wearing them, and the styling and proportion of the lens is just right. They are crystal clear, and I actually prefer them both in fit, style, and visual clarity to their Oakley counterparts.

I’m in coastal Southern California, so these are essential to keep my eyes rested and of my vision clear all day long.
