Product Insights
The Simons Legacy Frameless Rectangular Sunglasses offer full UV400 protection at $29 CAD, matching the protection of premium frames but lacking polarization to reduce glare. Their frameless metal-and-plastic construction is a rigid upgrade but exposes lenses to chipping, with screws that loosen and nose pads that require adjustment. Prescription lenses can be fitted, but only after a professional optician verifies the frameless design can support them, relying on adjustable nose pads to fine-tune the fit.

Deep Research
What 100% UV protection actually means
- The UV-blocking ability of these lenses comes from a colorless chemical absorber embedded in or coated on the lens material, not from the visible tint; this means the Sand or Purple color is strictly cosmetic, and the eyes receive full UV protection regardless of how light or dark the lenses look.
- The “100% UV protection” label on these sunglasses signifies lenses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometers, matching the UV400 standard that optometrists worldwide call the gold standard for complete consumer eye protection.
- At $29, these sunglasses deliver the same full-spectrum UV defense that a $300 designer pair would if both carry a UV400-equivalent label, because the core UV-absorbing chemistry added to lenses is inexpensive and widely used across the eyewear industry.
Frameless design and long-term durability
- Without a full frame, the lens edges are directly exposed — a drop onto a hard surface can chip or crack the lens, so using a hard protective case when not worn sharply reduces this risk compared to leaving the sunglasses loose in a bag.
- The frameless design secures the lenses directly to the bridge and temples with small screws — a construction that makes the glasses as light as possible but means occasional gentle retightening prevents the loosening and misalignment that rimless eyewear commonly develops over daily wear.
- The adjustable nose pads are the primary contact points that control lens alignment — a proper fit distributes pressure evenly across the bridge and prevents the sunglasses from pulling unevenly on the screw mounts, a common long-term failure point for rimless designs.
How the Legacy stacks up against similar frameless sunglasses
- At US$3.96, Aisyi's frameless rectangular sunglasses are built from resin — the Legacy's CAD 29 metal frame represents a materials upgrade that makes the glasses feel less flimsy in hand, a key differentiator at the low end.
- The Ray-Ban ORB3928 frameless rectangular sits at CAD 328 with polarized lenses and an A$AP Rocky collab, but the Legacy matches its 100% UV protection and lightweight metal frame for less than 10% of the price — making the core frameless look accessible without the luxury upcharge.
