Reviews & Ratings for ESS High Adrenaline CDI Interchangeable Lens Sunglasses — 14 reviews — Page 1

Best pair of glasses I've ever had. I like that they have clear lenses as well as sun glasses. They are comfortable and come with everything you need. I use them at the range as well as outdoor yard work.

Perfect fit and interchanging lenses is easy and best feature.
Pros: Tan color doest absorb heat.
Cons: Rubber on temple tips is not for me and best taken off.

I was looking for new sunglasses as I just had Lasik done to both eyes. I've had my fair share of ESS products in the past (Advancer V-12, Profile, Profile Turbofan, ICE) and I knew I would get great quality for the money. Really, really satisfied with my purchase.
Pros: Good looking, great eye coverage, stays in place even w/high sweating
Cons: none that I can think of

In contrast to the lenses (which are awe inspiring) the frame seems a bit weak. I wonder how long it will hold up? I'd like to put these lenses into a titanium frame.
Pros: Clear view, good protection
Cons: doesn't seem very sturdy in the frame.

Light weight, easy to exchange lens, flexible. I haven't been able to fully use them yet and I have recieved 3 annoying emails 3 days in a row wanting feedback!
Pros: Light weight, easy to exchange lens, flexible.
Cons: I haven't been able to fully use them yet and I have recieved 3 annoying emails wanting feedback!

I wish they came with polarized lenses
Pros: Light weight and very comfortable
Cons: Glare in bright sunlight

Out of all the other brand names such as Wiley X, Revision, etc, ESS CDI Sunglasses is all about quality. This pair is not to big and not to small. Its a medium fit which fits me perfectly. I use them as everyday sunglasses. If I need the clear ones for the shooting range, I just swap the lenses out with no problems. I also use these for backup glasses since you can get clear lenses with prescriptions. If you are ever going to buy any pair of sunglasses get it from OpticsPlanet. They have the best prices all the time.
Pros: Easy to change lenses and great for prescription lenses.
Cons: It could use a better neck strap.

I just got these glasses and I love them. I have a hard time finding sunglasses that look good AND that fit. I'm Asian, so sunglasses with a lot of curvature don't fit me well. These CDI's however, fit great. They're light and stay on my face well, even when I look downward. I really like being able to replace the lenses; it's like getting two pairs of sunglasses for the price of one. And, additional lenses are available. Also, it comes with a really nice case with a pouch to hold lenses. The only thing for me that could be improved is the neck strap. It's just a bit too rough on my neck, but not exceedingly uncomfortable.

I was trying to decide between these and the Wiley X XL-1. I'm glad I went with these. First, the CDI is made in the USA. Second, the manner in which the lenses are held in the CDI is better; you just slide them in and out. The XL-1 lenses are popped out by distorting the frame.

Pros: interchangeable lenses, light, fit well
Cons: neck strap is a bit rough on the neck

it was very easy to shop at optics planet, very good shipping, and very safe, will shop again in the future!!!!
Pros: very confortable and useful for what I need them
Cons: would have preferred them a litlle bigger

Great sunglasses. A little pricey but I bought the additional Hi-def lenses so this one pair of glasses pulls triple duty - sunglasses, safety glasses, and shooting glasses. Lenses change-out easily which makes them very practical. And my wife says they make me look tougher! Definitely worth the money.
Pros: lightweight, comfortable, and durable
Cons: somewhat reduces peripheral vision
