B.N.U.SBnus corning glass lens polarized sunglasses for men & Women italy made w. High Performance Plastic Lens option

Very comfortable fit, can ware them all day and doesn’t make my ears sore, glass lenses are definitely better than plastic for clarity.Good value

I'm a self-described sunglasses nerd. I've owned dozens of pairs of sunglasses over the years and I'm VERY fussy, especially when it comes to lenses. So when my beater glasses (my beloved Revo Crux C shades) finally got too smudged and scratched to be of use anymore, I went looking for something affordable but still good. My Revos eventually succumbed to sweat and oils, which worked their way into the micro pores of the polycarbonate lenses, producing a haze which I couldn't get rid of, no matter how many well I cleaned them. So my criteria this time around was GLASS lenses, not polycarbonate (plastic). I'm not opposed to plastic lenses per se... they have their place in the world and have certain advantages, such as being lighter in weight and naturally blocking UV light, even before the UV treatment is applied. But this time, since I was looking for shades that could take sweat and sunscreen being dripped on them, as I'll be using them working outside around the house, I opted for glass lenses, under the assumption that they would be easier to clean. Most shades with glass lenses are fairly expensive though. I didn't want to spend a lot, since these will be subject to abuse and harsh conditions. So I figured I'd give these a try, honestly not expecting much.WOW, was I pleasantly surprised! When I put them on, I almost yanked them off again to check and make sure I wasn't sent a pair of Smith Techlites instead. The view through these lenses is startlingly crisp, clear, and pleasant. I ordered black frames with G-15 lenses, which are fairly neutral with a slight greenish tint. The literature claims they allow 12% light transmission, which is fairly dark, but compared to other lenses they don't appear super dark. Lack of clarity can contribute to a false perception of darkness, so my theory is that because these are so clear, the world appears a little brighter than it would when looking through cheaper lenses with the same transmission rate. There are numerous ways to measure lens performance, but without getting too technical, these just jumped into my number 2 favorite glass among brands I've tried:1) Smith Techlite2) These (with Corning G-15)3) Ray Ban Chromance silver mirror4) Ray Ban Chromance blue5) Serengeti 555nm6) Persol blue polarized7) Costa 580g grey8) Persol blue non-polarizedThe frames are pretty good quality as well. Nothing special, but they appear sturdy and the hinges are reasonably robust. I wouldn't expect any problems.Stylish? No, not really, but then again, no wraps are stylish. Show me a pair of wraps and I'll show you a dude who thinks he looks cool but, in reality, very definitely does not. Trust me, I was that dude for years. That being said, wraps do have some things going for them - they are more protective, both from flying debris, as well as sunlight sneaking in around the perimeter. So they're great for working outside, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Just try not to wear them in public unless you want to look like a dufus.Fit wise, they hug tight to the face. I have kind of a large head and somewhat flat face, so I often have trouble with glasses bumping the tops of my cheeks. These do that a little bit, but it's not bad and thus tolerable enough that I'm definitely going to keep them.With a vague name like BNUS, I was expecting them to be made in China and dumped on Amazon. But they claim to be "Italy made" and the parent company (Bini Optics) seems to be based in Chicago. So whatever. Somebody apparently got the idea to produce decent quality frames and outsource lens production to Corning. Frankly, this was a stroke of brilliance. I'll definitely be checking out some of their other models. My only advice to the company would be to change their name... what kind of a name is BNUS??

I bought a pair of the Bnus Paladins back in May 2022. I had a pair of RayBan Wayfarers for years. When I went to replace the prices stunned me. The Bnus looked decent at a good price and I wanted to have glass lenses. I really like the look, they worked great, excellent polarization. But, a year later the rubber trim on the temples started to pull loose. I glued it but it never held. A couple of weeks ago one the temples broke. I figured it was a long shot, but I emailed the company to see if I could buy two replacement temples.Instead I got an email back saying they would send me a new pair of glasses. I was away for week, when I got home they were here. I only gave four stars because of the issues with my first pair and I haven't had these long enough to determine if the issues have been solved. But, if I could give them 6 stars for customer service I would.

These are great sunglasses, the polarized glass lense is very clean and comfortable on the eyes in the bright sun.

These glasses were a nice surprise. They fit my narrow face very well and the lenses provide good protection compared to my other more expensive glasses. Great value

I bought a pair on day. The rubber on the ear pieces came off of both sides after a couple months of daily use. I complained. They quickly sent a free replacement pair. Those fell apart after 3 weeks. I complained. I got nowhere. Then they finally responded in a manner that I could understand and they sent the second replacement pair. They changed the design. Instead of the rubber strip that falls off (see picture), they changed it to plastic. This is much better and should last much longer. The lenses are really amazing for the price. The frames are great except for the falling apart part. If the new design lasts, I'll happily give them 5 stars. Customer service was a bit cumbersome, but they made good on the deal and they updated their design. That's the way to run a business, so thanks Bini. I'll come back and boost the score, but I need to use these for a while to be fair to others.Initially I was pleased with the quality of the lenses and fitment of the frames. Then they started to come apart. I contacted the seller, they replaced them, then they fell apart again in a couple weeks. Contacted seller AGAIN and I've gotten nothing but a super confusing run around with old screenshots and deleted tracking numbers. Fine, keep my money. You win. Don't bother.

I tried these sunglasses twice. The first pair arrived with a hairline crack in the left lens. The second pair lasted about three months (just long enough that I can no longer return them), and then one morning I picked them up, put them on, and both lenses fell out because the frame cracked in two places. The optical quality of the lenses is quite good, and the polarization is as good as my Ray-Bans. The Ray-Bans cost three times as much, but they last for many years. Won't make this mistake again.

I've bought 4 pairs of these because I like them so much and wanted to have one in each car and another one for walking or whatever. They hold up well, they're comfortable, and they look good. Definitely recommend these.
