Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Poseidon Sunglasses: Choose this for sunny days if you want lightweight, comfortable sunglasses with a recycled metal frame in a bright silver finish and dark gray oval lenses with Level 3 UV protection. The polycarbonate lenses sit in a thin metal rim with clear silicone-style nose pads, and a soft designer case and cleaning cloth are included. Note they come in a single size (52 mm eye width, 20 mm bridge, 145 mm temples), so the fit has to work for you as is.[1,2] | Bandwagon Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a lightly oversized, softly rounded style in a matte black full-rim frame with flat green-tinted acrylic lenses and Level 3 UV protection for sunny days. The bio-based acetate frame is described as light and comfortable, with molded-in nose pads rather than separate pads, and comes in one size (eye width 51 mm, bridge 20 mm, temple 146 mm) plus a soft designer case and cleaning cloth. Black, Sand, and Brown color options exist, so check which variant you want before ordering.[3,4] | Honey Pot Slim Oval Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a Y2K-inspired, midsize unisex frame with slim oval amber-tinted lenses and a light, comfortable acetate build. The shatterproof, scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses carry a category 2 UV rating, which the retailer describes as perfect for cloudy or partly sunny days, and it comes in one size (55 mm eye, 17 mm bridge, 145 mm temples) with a signature case included. If you need lenses suited to very bright sun, the level 2 rating may be a limitation.[5,6,7,8] |
