I've had these bad boy's for about 2 years now. Usually I can't keep sunglasses for more than month so there's that. Also, this particular model is for cycling which I also used when I was rolling around town on my ebike. Overall, it's worth the $25 I spent on it two years ago. And yes, I enjoy the fact that people cannot see my eyes due to the mirror feature.
