These are great! I've been wearing RayBan Wayfarers for years because I like green lenses. I was looking for a new pair of acetate aviator-style sunglasses, and was excited when I found that these had the option for green lenses. Obviously, these are a great deal cheaper than RayBans, and have surprising quality for being less than a third of the price. I didn't choose the polarized option, and was surprised to see that the unpolarized lenses still had a sort of coating (AR maybe?). Even my expensive RayBans have a sort of dot of light that you can see when wearing them from your eyes reflecting back into the lenses. The Jakartas do not have this issue! I didn't realize what a game-changer this would be, but it makes your vision so much clearer. The Jakartas are much lighter than my RayBans were, since the lenses are a type of plastic instead of glass. This is nice because they don't feel heavy or leave an imprint on the bridge of your nose after wearing them for long periods of time. The glasses come with a soft case that doubles as a microfiber cloth which comes in handy. I still use the box that the sunglasses came in because it acts a harder case. I will say that the glasses are a bit larger than what you might assume from the pictures, but as a male they seem like the perfect size and block out more light than my Wayfarers did. The green lenses give great contrast and let in a little more blue light and a little less yellow light than RayBan's green lenses. I am very picky with how lenses distort colors and the green lenses on the Jakarta give great clarity and don't make colors look dull. The lenses look sort of black from the outside, which looks cool! The glasses slip down my nose a little if I'm sweating, but it's not too bad! Overall VERY pleased with the glasses, and glad I found sunglasses that will be cheaper to replace over time.
