B.N.U.SCorning glass lenses polarized sunglasses for men and women UV400 Protection for Fishing Cycling Driving Italy made

My husband absolutely loves these glasses! This is the second pair I’ve ordered for him. ( he lost first ones off the side of the boat) These are well constructed with glass lenses, they don’t seem to scratch easily and fit his head well. We will definitely reorder when he looses this pair, and he will, would recommend for a quality product comparable to brand name sunglasses at a reasonable price.

I'm a self-described sunglasses nerd. I've owned dozens of pairs of sunglasses over the years and I'm VERY fussy, especially when it comes to lenses. So when my beater glasses (my beloved Revo Crux C shades) finally got too smudged and scratched to be of use anymore, I went looking for something affordable but still good. My Revos eventually succumbed to sweat and oils, which worked their way into the micro pores of the polycarbonate lenses, producing a haze which I couldn't get rid of, no matter how many well I cleaned them. So my criteria this time around was GLASS lenses, not polycarbonate (plastic). I'm not opposed to plastic lenses per se... they have their place in the world and have certain advantages, such as being lighter in weight and naturally blocking UV light, even before the UV treatment is applied. But this time, since I was looking for shades that could take sweat and sunscreen being dripped on them, as I'll be using them working outside around the house, I opted for glass lenses, under the assumption that they would be easier to clean. Most shades with glass lenses are fairly expensive though. I didn't want to spend a lot, since these will be subject to abuse and harsh conditions. So I figured I'd give these a try, honestly not expecting much.WOW, was I pleasantly surprised! When I put them on, I almost yanked them off again to check and make sure I wasn't sent a pair of Smith Techlites instead. The view through these lenses is startlingly crisp, clear, and pleasant. I ordered black frames with G-15 lenses, which are fairly neutral with a slight greenish tint. The literature claims they allow 12% light transmission, which is fairly dark, but compared to other lenses they don't appear super dark. Lack of clarity can contribute to a false perception of darkness, so my theory is that because these are so clear, the world appears a little brighter than it would when looking through cheaper lenses with the same transmission rate. There are numerous ways to measure lens performance, but without getting too technical, these just jumped into my number 2 favorite glass among brands I've tried:1) Smith Techlite2) These (with Corning G-15)3) Ray Ban Chromance silver mirror4) Ray Ban Chromance blue5) Serengeti 555nm6) Persol blue polarized7) Costa 580g grey8) Persol blue non-polarizedThe frames are pretty good quality as well. Nothing special, but they appear sturdy and the hinges are reasonably robust. I wouldn't expect any problems.Stylish? No, not really, but then again, no wraps are stylish. Show me a pair of wraps and I'll show you a dude who thinks he looks cool but, in reality, very definitely does not. Trust me, I was that dude for years. That being said, wraps do have some things going for them - they are more protective, both from flying debris, as well as sunlight sneaking in around the perimeter. So they're great for working outside, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Just try not to wear them in public unless you want to look like a dufus.Fit wise, they hug tight to the face. I have kind of a large head and somewhat flat face, so I often have trouble with glasses bumping the tops of my cheeks. These do that a little bit, but it's not bad and thus tolerable enough that I'm definitely going to keep them.With a vague name like BNUS, I was expecting them to be made in China and dumped on Amazon. But they claim to be "Italy made" and the parent company (Bini Optics) seems to be based in Chicago. So whatever. Somebody apparently got the idea to produce decent quality frames and outsource lens production to Corning. Frankly, this was a stroke of brilliance. I'll definitely be checking out some of their other models. My only advice to the company would be to change their name... what kind of a name is BNUS??

I bought a pair of the Bnus Paladins back in May 2022. I had a pair of RayBan Wayfarers for years. When I went to replace the prices stunned me. The Bnus looked decent at a good price and I wanted to have glass lenses. I really like the look, they worked great, excellent polarization. But, a year later the rubber trim on the temples started to pull loose. I glued it but it never held. A couple of weeks ago one the temples broke. I figured it was a long shot, but I emailed the company to see if I could buy two replacement temples.Instead I got an email back saying they would send me a new pair of glasses. I was away for week, when I got home they were here. I only gave four stars because of the issues with my first pair and I haven't had these long enough to determine if the issues have been solved. But, if I could give them 6 stars for customer service I would.

I bought these sunglasses several years ago and have been my favorite glasses for sometime, great feel and clear lenses. What really sets these glasses apart from others i have bought is the customer service from this company. they respond quickly and respond to questions quickly. Top notch seller in my opinion and will continue to buy from this company when i am i need of another pair of glasses.

I was skeptical, being a many year Ray-Ban wearer, but these are solid sunglasses. I like the little rubber keepers that can go on the temples to help keep them on your head without wrap-around cable type Ray-Ban Outdoorsman temples that can wear holes in your ears or stupid croakies/lanyards that are always tangled up in something or another. The polarization seems to be there and works well, similar to Ray-Ban contrasts in bright sunlight. I'll likely buy another pair in a different style.

I loved these sunglasses until one of the two rubber nose pieces fell off and was lost for all time—rendering them useless as they are unwearable without the 5 cent nose piece. As far as the quality of the lenses and the materials that didn’t fall off, the sunglasses would otherwise represent a terrific value. However, I will not be purchasing from this brand again in view of the defective nose pieces. Perhaps BNUS could supply replacements with purchase until they address this manufacturing defect.

Second pair I've had. I broke the first. Great quality and lenses don't scratch

4.5 stars. Glass lens is slightly heavy, but the clarity is phenomenal. Have used for approximately 5 months, keep in their case in car when not in use, no problems with breakage or scratches. Use mostly for driving in bright Texas. They work!
