Second pair of glasses came in three weeks ago. I got this pair tinted and mirror coated. They are excellent! I didn't want polarized lenses, as I use these for driving and they'd wash out some of the gauges in the car. At the recommendation of O4L, I did get the mirror coating. I'm not sure what effect they have...but, they do look cool.
