Velocity gunmetal glasses - Serengeti Velocity Sunglasses

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.
