Great lenses. Put them on at 5:55 AM on the way to the river and didn't take them off till I got home. Equally good for nighttime driving as well as a low to mid light. Not as great in full sun, but they're not really made for that. Still work just dont expect full reprieve like a dark grey lense. Fit for a large head is really good, they are some of the most comfortable sunglasses I have worn and the glass lenses don't add any noticeable weight. I'm only giving it four stars because the build quality is only okay. Arms and hinges creak any time you work with them. Overall great sunglasses, especially for fly fishing streams and rivera.
Also a bonus they are cheaper then the guide XL's I returned.

Second pair of Smiths and my favorite lenses ever. Full clarity, no glare, retinas open and accepting of all filtered light. Talk about rowe colored classes!💗
