Default NUMA Sunglasses

Curious if anyone has tried the NUMA sunglasses and if so what your opinion was. Thanks

Non-polarized, tough frames...look like they should work well, but do they always have 2 authors?

Look great but to rich for my blood. I get non polarized Ray-bans at Nordstroms rack for 40-50 dollars.

Not the original ones. The later ones got too lazy to do their own work.

I buy $8 cheap shades at the 7-11; use and abuse as needed, and when broken or lost, as they inevitably are, no big deal.

And yes, even the cheap ones block UV, which isn't an issue in the cockpit anyhow, as aircraft windows already block UV.

Cockpit windows block UV-B. UV-A rays, still come thru, and is a reason that I use sunblock in the cockpit, for both UV-A and UV-B
