Reviews & Ratings for Serengeti Velocity Sunglasses — 86 reviews — Page 1

Light weight on the face, clear optics, and nice amber tint. Have not yet tried them on the water but iI'm sure they'll do well��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

This is my second pair, which I bought in case I break or lose my current pair. I have the Velocity Gunmetal frames with polarized gray/green lenses. These are great for driving, and all outdoor activity. They are lightweight, durable, and compact. The style fits my face very well, and has the slight wrap around that blocks peripheral light.

The only downside, and this are very minor, is that the polarized lenses on these non-gradient sunglasses somewhat darkens the view of electronic gauges while driving. I have a pair of the Velocity amber/brown gradient sunglasses too, and those are designed to make reading gauges easier, but frankly I prefer these. I have mixed feelings about the case. I like that it is fairly solid and includes a cleaning cloth, but feel it is just a little too big. I found a smaller case at my local optician that fits these glasses like a glove, and thats what I use for traveling.

The main downside, that is not so minor, is the price. I bought my first pair several years ago at WalMart of all places, and thought I was paying a premium at $100. For whatever reason, the titanium framed Gunmetal polarized version of the Velocity glasses are significantly higher than the other versions. Don't really know why.

The wrap around lens is very helpful. My husband kept putting his on me but I need the adjustable nose pads and his were heavy. Serengeti's wire frames are so light weight. The glass doesn't feel heavy at all with wire frames. And they make the lightest and sturdiest glass possible. I finally broke my old Serengeti sunglasses in the hinge of our recliner. So I tried these wrap arounds. I love not being distracted by light from the side window while driving. They would have been perfect if I could have got the sedona colored lens, but I will try the espresso polarized. So far they seem to be working well and may turn into my favorite Serengeti sunglasses. They also look good on me.

Fantastic is all I can say. As a pilot, I am very concerned with being able to see all the LCD units in an airplane. These glasses do not disappoint in any aspect. The gradient is also great because it allows for the higher darkening on the top half while still being able to see displays and other instruments. Highly recommend for pilots as well as drivers.

I love this pair of sunglasses, the color is beautiful and I bought this one on advise of my son, he is a commercial captain with KLM and he said me this is the best sunglasses you ever can buy, so I did it and now I am very happy.
I will certainly advise this too others as well.

You asked at the same time to review the Honeywell Howard Leight Shooting Sports Hat DT600. I am very sorry but I did not buy it. I worked very many years for Honeywell at the European Headquarters in Brussels and I travelled all over Europe and South Africa as a Sales MANAGER.
So I am sorry, I cannot give you a review.

It's winter here and have not had the opportunity to use these glasses yet. But I've tried them on and they look sen-sational. Can't wait to test them in full light. Hopefully when the clouds and the rain clears here. I'm wrapped with the delivery from the US to Australia. It took far longer to get from Sydney to Adelaide - work that out. Australia snail mail and customs I guess. Buy these, they look a million dollars.

These are my second pair of Velocities. My other pair has polarized lens. This model of Serengeti has glass lens, which I like to clean frequently. You can easily wash these in a public restroom using hand soap and they clean without scratching. I recommend them highly.

The Serengheti Velocity remain my #1 pick for stylish protection and comfort while on the job flying aircraft. The gradient lenses work well in providing optimal viewing under a variety of lighting conditions. Only trouble I've ever had is the occasional frame screw the falls out resulting in the lense falling to the floor-one I managed to save, the other cracked and I had to purchase another pair.

Very happy with these. Serengeti's seem to last forever (my last pair is going on 9 years) and nothing compares to the optical perfection.

Service from Optics planet is exceptional, prices can't be beat!

I've been wearing Serengeti sunglasses for 25 years and, in terms of eyewear they're very hard to beat. I have polaroid pairs of the Velocity framed ones for general use, and at work wear I can't use polaroid lens (I'm an airline pilot) I wear the 'Drivers Gradient' ones in the same Velocity frame.
