Product Insights
Offered at 79.95 CAD (45% off 145 CAD), these Polaroid sunglasses leverage the brand's 1935-invented polarization technology with choice of brown (contrast-enhancing) or grey (neutral) lenses, Category 3 UV protection, and a metal-plastic frame with gold accents. Built on Safilo's production lines and backed by Safilo's warranty, they include a storage pouch. The main tradeoff is that the metal alloy is unspecified (caution for nickel allergies) and the medium frame suits average faces, not very small or large.
