Product Insights
Quay's Hit Single Narrow Angular Sunglasses deliver polarized lenses and trend-driven style at a low price, but the 'Narrow' name misleads—the 145mm frame fits medium-to-large faces and often slips on narrow ones, despite adjustable nose pads. Buyers face inconsistent quality with bent frames and scratched lenses, and the non-wraparound design lets side sunlight reduce real-world UV protection, trading off value and style for durability and fit reliability.
Verified claims
- Fit
- The 'Narrow' name describes the lens shape, not frame size; the 145 mm total width is medium-to-large and may slide down or feel loose on narrow faces.
- UV protection
- Level 3 UV lenses, but frame gaps let in side sunlight, reducing real-world protection.
- Polarization
- A polarized lens option is available at no extra charge and can be selected for every colorway.
- Quality consistency
- Buyers report inconsistent quality—many find the frames flimsy and lenses prone to scratches, while others consider them acceptable for the price.
- Scratch resistance
- Lenses advertised as scratch-resistant but buyers report they scratch easily.
- Side protection
- Non-wraparound design leaves side gaps that admit sunlight, reducing UV protection.
- Nose pad adjustment
- Pinching the adjustable silicone nose pads inward narrows the grip to improve fit on narrower noses.
- Value
- A polarized option is available at no extra cost, and buyers praise the low price and style despite mixed durability reports.
- Sizing
- This model comes in one size—54 mm eye width, 19 mm bridge, 140 mm temple length, and 145 mm total frame width—and has no spring hinges; despite the 'Narrow' name it fits medium-to-large faces, with adjustable nose pads as the main fit adjustment.
- UV protection level
- The level 3 UV protection on these lenses follows the ISO 12312-1 Category 3 standard, which sets UV transmittance limits that filter UVA and UVB radiation rather than only dimming visible light.
- Scratch resistance rating
- The lenses are listed only as scratch-resistant; no specific scratch-resistance rating or coating type is stated.

Negative feedback on Quay High Keys quality
I regret buying the blue High Keys because they're flimsy, easy to bend, easy to scratch and honestly, I don't find that they actually protect your eyes from the sun.

Quay as affordable, stylish sunglasses
I am always afraid to lose mine at the beach or just forget them somewhere, but also don’t want them to look cheap so I like Quay. They run awesome sales and the styles do change for collabs and stuff

DIY adjustment for Quay sunglasses arms
If they're acetate arms, I boil water and VERY EXTREMELY GENTLY use the heat from the hot water to bend the end of the arms so they stay on my head. Fits so much better and works every time. Patience is key here. Not-too-expensive brands like Quay are the perfect pairs to start and experiment with.
