Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I've purchased one of the titanium styles before, but them too flimsy and hard to wear around. You can't hang them from your shirt/pocket and wearing them on your head seems to stretch them out loosening the fit over time. So I went with wraparounds this time. First I purchased the Stingray thinking the Peahi and Canoes would be too big. The Stingray ended up being too small for me (6' 2", 210#) but fit my wife perfect (5'2" and petite). The Canoes are such a good price on Amazon, I decided to try them as well and I love them. The Stingrays use a glass lens which I like a little more, but the Canoes are larger and lighter. Both are bronze lenses, but the glass is a tab bit sharper. Both lenses are far sharper than the other brands REI carries: Native, Sun Cloud, etc. Also, I think glass on the Canoes would make them quite heavy to wear for prolonged time periods.
She'll be sporting the Stingrays and I'll be sporting the slightly larger Canoes this summer.
