I got these for Christmas last year (review a bit late). I needed some new driving sun glasses so thought I would give these a go rather than Oakley's etc. I have used them on all my long journeys and am very impressed. I thought they might of been a bit of a gimmick but have been pleasantly surprised. They work very well in wet conditions reducing reflections due to polarisation and also removing any windscreen reflections. I do sometimes feel a bit stupid wearing sunglasses in the rain but the improvement in visibility is worth it. Important for the VX driver is the increased ability to see dips and pot holes in the road not visible due to glair and reflection with the naked eye. Other quality polarised sunglasses may be as good but I would be surprised. One to put on you Christmas wish list.

not very cheap tho:)

[oakmere]

No but compatible with Oakley's I think mine were £120.00 so not cheap. But if you look after them, I only use them for driving they will be good for many years of use.

Bloc are an acceptable brand of sunglasses, I've got my 2nd pair recently & still got my original pair, which are over 10yrs old & in between have owned Bollé which cost a small fortune & the marketing was they didn't mist up! They did, as soon as you clean them & the rubber ear pieces went like a slimy feel & the cracked at the nose area. Needless to say, the only Sunglasses that are VFM are the Bloc the best pair are the Vintage Rayban from 1989, which are back in fashion, just too heavy because they are genuine glass lenses.
