The latest evolution of Frogskin represents a Darwinian leap in performance eyewear. Survival of the fittest is maintained by Plutonite lenses that block harmful UV and surpass ANSI standards for impact protection. Numerous species of color combinations are available, including a polarized version that deflects the splash of eye drenching glare.

I’ll start by saying that they’re probably too big for my face. They’re big. The orbitals are larger than the modern Cohort (a sporty ladies frame). On my medium sized face, they sit on my cheeks when I smile or talk.

Even with the size issue, (a personal problem) I really like the look of the frame. They’re pretty much a bigger version of the Fives, which are one of my favorite shapes and fit me like a glove.

I picked up my CB pair in 2020, nearly 15 years after the frames were discontinued. At this age, there is some fine cracking in the top and bottoms of the orbitals. When compared to some older Fives, they aren’t quite as brittle as the old O Matter so they can still be worn... just with some care when taking them off and cleaning lenses.

Since they’re a little big on my face, they’ll probably hang out in my case.

Best damn sunglasses I've ever owned. Performance was second to none, no glare, comfortable to the point that I forgot I was wearing them. Perfection.

Unfortunately, I lost them years ago. If anyone knows where I can find these kinds (this model) of sunglasses again, I would be eternally grateful.

Purely on a cosmetic angle these glasses are great. The lense quality is still better than any other wayfarer brands out there. A must have for any collector. However they could really use an iridium coating on the lens (possibly 5 star). Not the best coverage, not to be used for any type of active lifestyle. But the n again thats not really the target audience of anyone interested in these

I really like these glasses. I like the large fit and the unobstructed view I get from them. I only wish I would have bought the polarized version. I can attest to their impact resistance as well. Mine have a "dent" on the bridge from an unidentified object that struck me in a boat going about 55mph. I thought for sure the glasses came apart, but I was able to pick up the earpieces, snap them back on and continue no worse for wear.

These glass are tough to keep on though. The thin earpieces combined with no rubber lets them easily fall off if you look down at your feet.

Fit is super comfortable but styling is sorta blah but what can you expect from an entry level glass.
