Do SHADY RAYS deserve your face?

Shady Rays is one of those brands that spam up your news feed and make life feel like one big ad. Is the product worth advertising or should you turn ad blocker back on? I let you know what I think.

    if i wanted to donate i'd do it myself. For non glass lenses these should be 20-30 bucks but glad to see the 50% markup is going to a good cause. A better example of donation done right is TOM shoe's for the quality and price along with donation seems right on point without scalping the consumer. Maybe he didnt mention it for a reason lol

    I ended up finding a pair at a local disc golf course. They are every bit as good as my Oakley Latch sunnies that cost 4x as much. I really can't see any reason to throw down the extra money to go with Oakley. Luxottica has succeeded in selling cheap plastic for insane amounts with marketing. It's awesome to not worry so much about potentially losing/scrathing a $150+ item. The lens clarity is solid too.

    I bought 2 pairs last year with a matte finish to take to the beach and I found that heat plus suntan lotion destroys the matte finish on the glasses. Contacted shady rays and they replaced them with no hassle. Besides that they’re amazing. I’m curious to try ones with a glossy finish to see if they have the same issue.

I have usually have three pairs of sun glasses in my car, if someone needs a pair or mine broke. For $45, i thought I would give them a try. So far, I am happy with my purchase. But my Ray Bans are my main sun glasses.

    I just received mine today. I'm disappointed with the frame quality. The plastic feels really light and flexible. Hinges are molded into the plastic on mine, not metal. Very nice shape and style though. They look great on my face. The lenses are not bad either. They're acrylic, however I don't see any distortion at all so that's a huge plus. Id say they're worth it. Especially with a discount code.

    I bought the aviator and the quality seems very bad. I left the sunglasses in my car and I think the heat has bowed the arms outwards. I’ve only had them for under 2 weeks and haven’t even worn them much. It feels cheap and I don’t think it’s a stainless steel frame, feels and looks like plastic chrome. Just drop it lightly on a table and you’ll see how flimsy it is and just the sound that it makes when it drops lightly on a table. I’ve emailed them to see if they’re going to replace it.

    Just got my first pair and they are overpriced by about $30. I had a pair of fake Wayfarers that I bought a gas station for $10. The hinges on those always stayed nice and tight and the lenses never got scratched over the 3 years I had them (before I lost them.) I couldn't find a decent replacement pair so I thought I would try Shady Rays. The lenses are nice and I like that they are slightly larger than the Wayfarer, but they are remarkably low quality in terms of materials and manufacturing. Pretty disappointed.

However I've been wearing a pair Randolph Engineering aviators for about 6 months now, and they are definitely worth every penny, especially when on sale. Super clear glass lenses, high quality frames, and made in the U.S. (if that's important to you). Hopefully a review coming soon... if I can find time to shoot it lol.

    The problem with Shady Rays is that they're essentially charging you the price of three cheap Chinese sunglasses & that's assuming you're going to take advantage of the replacements. Their charging strategy is pretty SHADY considering that they charge you $54 for like a pair & a half & then recuperate the money with $9.98 each time you need a new pair. I don't care what they call that fee wether it's a "processing fee" or "we're actually just charging you for three cheap chances sunglasses fee", subtotal amount equates to three cheap Chinese sunglasses that you could buy at a mall but without having to wait for the replacement or having the big Shady Rays lettering on my sunglasses.
