Why we write these
Sunglasses marketing runs on adjectives, and we make an affordable product, so adjectives are not really our currency. What we have instead is the plain mechanics: what a polarized film physically blocks, what the UV400 number measures, which frame geometry does what on which face. These notes put that on the record. Each one ends with pairs from our own range picked by public rating count, because a claim you can check against a product is worth more than one you cannot.
