Q: Did the Maka sunglasses fit comfortably?

A: Yes, the cloth that was included worked very well
Q: Did the wrap of the lens protect your eyes from debris, wind and UV?
A: Yes very much. It protected my eyes especially from the wind.

A: Yes. I could see clearly ahead of me and I didn’t have to squint.

A: Yes, at times, I forgot I was even wearing them!
Q: Did the Clearshell hard coat prevent your lens from scratching?
A: Yes, I actually dropped them on the pavement by accident, and there was no scratch on the lens. Had that been another pair of sunglasses, I don’t think I would have been as fortunate.

A: Polarized feature, As I spend a great deal of time fishing and driving, I found the polarized feature protected from glare extremely well.

A: Yes. It sounds like a little more than you would spend on a typical pair of glasses, but the quality and style is perfect. These sunglasses are more of an investment, and I will be wearing them for years to come.

A: Yes, They are just as stylish as many of the other designer glasses on the market. However the weight and polarized feature set these apart from many of the more expensive brands. |
