Frames and Build Quality

The first thing that stood out to me when unboxing these sunglasses was their weight. The frames are made from a nickel free metal alloy a far cry from the typical plastic sunglasses we’ve grown used to. Wearing them feels like putting on nice watch or a fine piece of jewelry. The three-barrel industrial hinges smooth as ever and are built to last.

The frames come in polished gunmetal and polished rosed gold. I went with the later and love how they look.

Lenses

The Caddis Nola Sunglass Readers are available in 7 different lens powers (magnification) and 4 different tints. I went with the gray tint and which works great for medium to bright days. The lenses come with a protective hard coating which increases durability and minimizes scratching. The coating also protects against water, dirt and grease which makes for superior optics and easier cleaning.

Fit and Style

I found the Nola Sunglass fit quite well. The nose bridge is comfortable and the legs are the perfect length. I believe I have an average size head for reference. Additionally, the glasses have a vintage, timeless look that can go well with virtually any outfit or occasion. Whether you’re wine tasting at a vineyard or running errands around town, these sunglasses are sure to keep your eyes protected and your style on point.
