I love this style of sunglasses - with replaceable lenses and no frame on the lower section. And these Dash SS are extremely nice glasses. Excellent optical quality. Extremely comfortable. Very light weight. A few minor quibbles: vertically speaking, these glasses offer very little coverage. From top to bottom, they are very narrow. On my face, light comes in from the top and bottom. Horizontally, they are fine. Second complaint: they come with 4 lens options: Brown (polarized), Orange, Yellow, Clear. Brown is good all purpose, but not dark enough for really bright conditions. Orange and Yellow are too close to each other to really be helpful. Clear are pretty useless for me. I'd rather have had a really dark lens for snow, on-water in the tropics, etc; a normal brown for normal sunny conditions; and yellow for fog/low light.

Burly construction, warm, dextrous. Nice long gauntlet is easy to get in and out of while still completely sealing out cold and wet. Great glove.

I love these gloves. They are very warm, very dexterous and just about perfect for skiing on colder days. I've tried lots of other, more expensive, feature-rich, fancier gloves with more features and over time, I've found that those stay home and these are the ones I wear. The Stratos gloves are quite simple. Just a nicely cut glove made of waterproof/breathable fabric, with a 300-weight fleece liner. The palms are a nice leather. Not too thick to take away dexterity, not too thin to sacrifice toughness. Best of all, they have a nice long, gauntlet cuff with the fleece lining extending well up past the wrist. Lots of other 'top of the line' gloves that I've tried lately don't insulate up past the wrist, leading to annoying cold spots. Just basic, solid, well-thought-out gloves for colder conditions. Not as good for warm, wet days.

Great glove except... The gauntlet is awful. Too tight and narrow and not insulated. So, while my fingers were toasty, my wrists got quite cold!
