Great quality, durable, and stylish
Goodr are some of the best sunglasses you can buy at this price point, whether you’re an athlete or just want them for casual use. I love the matte black finish, which is just a touch lighter than my own soul :). The polarization and general glare reduction have been great on extra sunny days. I recently dropped them from my head on concrete or asphalt, and even though a lens popped out, I was able to get it back in place with quite a bit of effort - which is good, because I’m still confident it won’t pop out easily. There was only some minor scratching on the frame that mostly wiped off but it held up just fine, so +1 for durability!

Great sunglasses for running
Color: Silverback Squat Mobility V2
I was afraid this ones might be smaller than I thought but they’re just the right size. As always with Goodr, their promise of no slip, no bounce is true. Perfect sunglasses for running, very light, nice color. Highly recommended

Outstanding Sunglasses
Color: Gardening With a Kraken
These sunglasses are outstanding. Good clarity, they stay on and fit well as advertised, and look cool. Great price too and they come a sweet box and have a cloth bag to protect them. Bought a few of them as gifts as well. I definitely recommend this product.

Comfy, nonslip with nice lenses!
Color: Iced By Yetis V2
I have several pairs of Goodr glasses, and so I picked up yet another pair in this nice color combo of white and blue reflective lenses.
The order said "v2", but I couldn't find much difference. I think there is an upgrade on the material or hinge? I guess it might feel a little more comfy on my face, but I had chalked that up to just being a new pair and not my old worn down pair that I wear daily.
The size of the mediums (OG) is perfect for the average size face. You can even "try on" the glasses on the Goodr website if you aren't sure, but the measurements are a pretty good indicator if you need the regulars or need to change size.
Goodr lenses are quality, and have great sun protection, especially with their reflective lenses. The only Goodrs I haven't liked too much are the more "clear" lenses where you can see your eyes clearly through the lenses from the front, but that is just a preference choice, and they have so many options.
I'll probably look at picking up another color combo soon. I have about 5 pairs of the "OG" glasses, and they have all been great and super durable. The only thing I have noticed is the frames pickup a lot of grease from my face, especially if I wear sunblock, but I just wipe them down before and after use, and they seem to last forever.
I also really like the little carrying case they give you, it doubles as a microfiber cloth. If you want more protection, the box it ships in is a sturdy little cardboard slider box that works very well for protection and storage.
