Reviews

Love The Dull Gold Mirror

"I've got lots of Shady Rays pairs and this is my latest . I love the polished gold look of the Kyle Busch Talons but wanted a duller gold without going with another pair of Rival Shifts . The Apex are super comfortable and almost as light as the Talons . They actually fit a little more snug but aren't right at all . The sand colored arms are a unique twist to my usual black. These make great fishing glasses on stained water with their slightly brownish hue and not a gray hue ."

Apex - Blackout Polarized

"This is my 1st purchase of Shady Rays sunglasses. I love these sunglasses! The lenses are clear and really enhance the blues, greens, and reds (while removing the harsh white light. The frames are flexible but firm enough to stay where I want them without moving around. The price was reasonable too! I'd definitely buy another pair of Shady Rays sunglasses."

— John N. (5/5)

Crazy Value

"Only had them for a few days bjt compared to my Radar EV Oakley’s they seem very comparable for less money and 200% better warranty. Great in sun and will see how they hold up to Texas summers. They still fit face while wearing ball cap. They balanced weight makes you forget they are on your face. Note: The smoke/clear frames do seem more ridged and sturdy then the mate black frames for both Apex and Talons. Would recommend to anyone."

— Bryan S. (5/5)

Apex eyewear is Very comfortable,

"Apex eyewear is Very comfortable, smoked emerald is extremely clear in sun!! Design is awesome!! I also have a Talon pair. . Talon is my trucking shades, Apex is my fishing etc. shades. . . EXTREMELY SATISFIED. . ."

Apex review.

"I’m a long time owner of multiple pairs of shady rays, and have always stuck with the classics as I feel that’s my usual style. I recently purchased the apex frames and was unsure if I’d like the fit. After having a chance to wear them this past weekend I can say that I approve of the frame and wish I would’ve gotten the 2 pair on the sale when I purchased these instead of just the 1. Not sure if possible but would like to get another pair if I could get them for the same price when I got these as that was the promotion at the time. Thanks, ZM."

— Zach M. (5/5)

Apex Black Glacier

"Easy to order, delivered within a week, and in very good condition. However, they were advertised as a wrap around and I am a little disappointed with that. My vision is blocked by the attachment of the stem to the glasses. But that is not a major issue. I’ll get used to it. So far, so good."

— Bernard B. (4/5)

Great for running

"Awesome fit, no sliding or jiggling. Great for running and sweat-inducing activities. Color scheme is sick too."

— Derek R. (5/5)

Best pair of Shades I've

"Best pair of Shades I've ever owned. I will definitely be ordering again in the future. Keep up the GOOD WORK"

— Steve H. (5/5)

Loved them

"They look good used them to play softball on sundays and was not disappointed. They stayed on my face the entire time. I could see clearly even though the sun was up and shining. Great shades for the price."

— Richard V. (5/5)

Nice fit sunglasses

"They are alright, new style for me i usually wear oakley Holbrook. I like the style. They are light. I wish they were made a little more durable. Seem like they may break. But they weren't very expensive. Get what you pay for I guess."
