Hot ButteredPerformance Sunglasses GRINDER - Sports Eyewear, Men and Women - Cycling, Fishing

I received this item through the Vine program for free but my review is based solely on my own experience and opinions, without outside influences.I was really hoping for some good weather and an opportunity to review these glasses during an actual ride. Unfortunately that has not panned out yet, so you get some bathroom action shots and my ugly mug to deal with. I will update once I finally get outdoors.I was excited to come across a pair of glasses with a small overall width yet still styled as a pretty modern cycling design. I have a narrow face and finding a good pair of glasses is difficult. The arrive in a case, with a protective bag, some lense cleaner, and a few extra nose pieces. Initially they did not seem to fit very well and the nose was uncomfortable. I switched nose pieces to the smaller size, but quickly realized that was worse, so back to the medium size for me. I tried them with two different helmets, although only one is pictured. They fit well, without contact or rubbing on the helmet, or the helmet causing the glasses to dig into my face. I was a bit disappointed with the fact I could not place them into the helmet vents, until I read a review on here about the ear pieces being bendable. After shaping them a bit more to my face, I was able to stow the glasses in the helmet. Too far though and the glasses didn't fit anymore, sliding forward down my nose. Some fine tuning will really help these glasses fit perfectly.Overall, these glasses do feel like they are quality. A bit heavier than some of my other pairs, but also feeling like they would hold up better in a tough environment. Price-wise, they are around the mark of some pretty nice options, so I don't know if they can break into the market at that level. I had my eye on the turquoise pair as well but have a hard time spending nearly $100 just for a second color.Update: Finally got a chance to ride with these, pictures added. They do well to block sunlight and fit well enough under the helmet. Slightly heavy on the face and the nose piece is not very comfortable after a bit of time. Review stays four stars, they still do a good job on a small face.

These are fine! They do a perfectly good job of keeping the sun out of your eyes, and they look cool. I disagree with the other reviewers who said they are too big - I have a very average sized head, and these do not even cover my eyebrows. Nothing about them is oversized, do not expect to look like Kim Kardashian. Speaking of overpriced pieces of plastic, nothing about these glasses warrants a nearly $100 (at time of review) price tag. They get the job done, they look cute, but these is nothing luxurious about them. The ultra grip pads might work if you happen to have very textured, dry, and grippy skin. For those of us who do not have the Sahara on our face, this is just normal silicone or rubber. If it is not normal silicone, then Hot Butter is overpaying for proprietary tire rubber. Fortunately, I received these for free, but I would not spend more than $35 on them. Even that is a stretch, as I recently saw near copies of them at H&M the other day for $17. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy owning these and have used them multiple times - it's just that the factors listed in the description to command such a price point either do not differentiate themselves enough, or are not evident enough in the physical product, to justify this business decision from a consumer standpoint.

These seem very well made. Very high commitment to quality. They come with lots of extras like a hard storage case, polishing cloth bag and some sort of liquid in a little bottle that's a mystery to me as it is written in Portuguese. That's why I docked the star. Is it glasses cleaner? Is it a love potion? I'll have to find a Brazilian or a Portuguese person, make friends with them and then ask casually a year later.The style is very specific. They do not look good on me at all, they are rather narrow. Same with my partner. We liked the lenses and the lightweight frames but they looked ridiculous on us both. Finally found a home for them on my brother-in-law's face though. He really, really likes the style, and while they actually look good on him, I think he looks like a paramilitary dude at an NRA rally with them on. He can blend in with cops or he can blend in with a professional cycling team. He could also wear them if he became a terminator who goes back in time to clean up the past. That being said, he loves them and looks pretty smooth.

These are very nice and fashionable sunglasses that fit smaller faces much nicer than many of its counterparts.The frame quality is solid and much better than you typically find in a relatively small brand. The lenses are clear with nice optics and an even and good looking coatings. The package includes the sunglasses, a "sock" for soft storage and cleaning, a bottle of anti-scratch solution (note that there are no identifier or instructions on the solution in english), three replacement nose bridges and a semi-hard clamshell zippered case.The glasses themselves have an extremely comfortable fit with rubberized, anti-slip temples that keep the secure. They fit neither too tight or loose in my case.As the current fashion is this large, goggle style frame, it is typically very difficult to find something that is designed to be large from a style standpoint that doesn't look clownish on smaller faces. These solve that problem as they scale nicely to a smaller face and maintain their style.These are NOT polarized. While they do offer UV protection, there is no polarization, which should be a given at this price point ($99.99 at time of review) for an up and coming brand. For that reason, these don't get the 5 stars I would otherwise rate.My Rating System: An average item at a “fair” price that meets the description starts at 3 stars. It can gain stars if it exceeds performance expectation or has features beyond what are listed. Also, if it is an exceptional price value, it may gain stars. Likewise, if it makes claims that aren’t met or if the item is poor or defective or perhaps overly expensive, stars will be deducted.
