Product Description
To say that Shwood comes from humble beginnings would be an understatement. The company’s first pair of sunglasses was whittled by hand from the limb of a madrone tree Read More
can someone from massdrop or shwood tell me what the % of light the lenses let through? they look pretty light from the pics and due to a major eye issue i need them to be a bit darker. id love a pair but really need to know this info. thank you
Been using these for a few months now. The quality and durability are great. My only problem is they are much smaller than expected. They are described as "large" shades, but they are too small for my face. However I am a large guy (6'3 200lbs). I'm sure they fit great on most people.
ksidirtNever go by written descriptions of eyeglass frames, since the language is always too generalized. Check the measurements instead.
This drop shows the measurements for every model. The ones you can check against your own glasses are the following (use the millimeter versions of the numbers):
Lens width
Bridge width
Arm length
Now grab a few of the frames you own, ideally the ones that fit you best. Check the stems and you'll find three numbers in the order you see here: lens width, bridge width and arm length. Then find the Shwood frame with measurements that are closest to your favorite frame. I wouldn't buy glasses with a bridge that is even one degree smaller than that of a pair that fits you comfortably.
If you don't own a pair, then go into an eyeglass store run by someone who isn't a twit, try on some samples and write down the three numbers (or have your salesperson write them) of a pair that fits you well. Explain that you're not going to buy the frames elsewhere; you just want to have a sense of the sizes that fit your face.
Lens height can be important, too, but you'll probably have to look up information about your frames online to find that.
Anyone had issue with the tint of the brown lenses?
It makes everything looks brown and boring.
Oakley polarized tinted lenses don't seem to have this effect.
