Compared within this brand.
| Tension+ Tortoiseshell Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a bold, squared rectangular silhouette with a tortoiseshell frame and moss-toned yellow-green mono lenses. It pairs a lightweight, durable, impact-resistant polycarbonate frame with shatterproof, scratch-resistant lenses, and the brand describes the frame as light and comfortable. Each pair comes with a spring-close protective pouch and a Le Specs microfiber cleaning cloth, offered in one size (53 mm eye width, 21 mm bridge, 145 mm temples).[1,2] | Pilferer Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a narrow-proportion, shrunken rectangular frame with a glossy black acetate construction and flat green-tinted lenses. The polycarbonate lenses are described as shatterproof and scratch resistant, carry a level 3 UV protection rating for sunny days, and a soft designer case with a small cleaning cloth is included. It comes in one size with a 53 mm lens width and 19 mm nose bridge in a fit the brand describes as unisex, so check those measurements against your face; comfort is the retailer's description rather than a customer report.[3,4,5] |
