Description of Costa Del Mar Pumphouse Polarized Sunglasses:
Pull on the Costa Del Mar Pumphouse Polarized Sunglasses and head down to the beach for a few cervezas. Costa Del Mar gave the Pumphouse CR-39 glass lenses for optimal clarity while you stare out at the breaks or check out the surfer girl at the bar. Cold-molded nylon frames fit comfortably, and high performance integral hinges take a beating without breaking. The Pumphouse helps you stand out in the crowd with its old-school, aviator-inspired style.
I was really excited when I purchased these. Aviator style? Cool. Supposedly the best lenses in the biz? Cooler. Integral hinges that take a beating? Coolest.
Got them... Frame material is stiffish plastic and the hinges consist of roughly a 5 mm tongue pinned into a groove. CR39 lenses are plastic ("polycarbonate"), not glass, which I knew.
Biggest hang up is the style, if they blew these things up sizewise, I would keep them despite all the downsides. (An inch wider, a half inch taller) The reality is that these are for small to medium faces (lady faces perhaps?). As a bigger guy, I look like I'm wearing children's glasses, and the quality is right there with the look...
They did come with a nice case though.
