Deep Research
How reliable is the 100% UV protection claim?
- ANSI Z80.3 and ISO 12312-1 define UV400 as filtering at least 99% of UVB and 99% of UVA up to 400 nm — the identical spectral envelope that '100% UV protection' denotes, meaning the lack of a UV400 stamp on these glasses is a labeling convention, not a protection downgrade.
- A full-spectrum UV absorber such as a benzotriazole added to polycarbonate or CR-39 lens resin costs under $0.01 per lens at production volumes, making genuine UV400 performance economically trivial even at a $19 retail price — and a key reason budget sunglasses routinely pass independent UV transmission tests.
- Sunglass UV claims in Canada are governed by the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, which treats a '100% UV protection' label as a legally enforceable promise of near-complete UVA/UVB blockage through 400 nm, so the wording on a Simons-sold product carries regulatory weight.

Elles sont belles mais pas conçues pour les petits visages
Confortable, belle couleur. Toutefois elles ne sont pas conçues pour les petits visages. Une lunette trop large.

Q&A
3 answered- Are the lenses polarized?
- No, the lenses are not polarized. The product features only mention '100% UV protection' and a 'light and comfortable plastic frame', with no indication of polarization.
- How translucent is the hazel frame in natural light? Does the color appear more brown or warm orange when worn?
- The hazel frame is described as 'translucent', and based on the color name 'Hazelnut', it likely appears as a warm, medium brown with amber or orange undertones in natural light. The exact transparency depends on lighting, but it should allow some skin tone to show through.
- What is the UV protection rating? Is it UV400?
- The product states '100% UV protection', which generally means the lenses block 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays. While 'UV400' is a common rating for full protection, the listing does not explicitly use that term. You can expect effective sun protection for everyday wear.
