Strengths: fit nice and close to my face, dont slip around lenses are good in all conditions except shade where they suffer a bit lots of colors not too expensive
Weaknesses: not for me
Bottom Line:
these shades are hot. the design on the arms is unique and very nice looking. arms are also thin so they fit easily in a bike helmet or snowboard helmet which i also use them for. they fit close to the face, and drafts dont get around the frames easily. dragon offers lots of lens choices (smoke and amber are just two that are mentioned in other reviews but there are more). really stylish- lots of girls noticed them and said they were sexy (yeah, man, now you want them!) wouldnt hesitate to pick up a pair. the polarized are only like 90 bucks, so its not like your buying some oakleys for 150 that EVERYONE ON EARTH HAS!!!!!
Strengths: Color changing frames (green to purple) are awesome and the design and detailing (especially on the arms) is original. Fit nice and close to my face and don't slip. Broke a pair (frame, over the left eye) over a year after purchasing and they were replaced immediately - originally they were just going to change the frame, keeping the old lenses, but lost the old glasses and ended up replacing them completely.
Weaknesses: Fog easily when stopped. Would trade the smoke lenses for an amber pair. Lenses are a little too dark for shaded areas.
Bottom Line:
Dragon makes an awesome sunglass and they stand behind their product. Would still be wearing my Hisses, but I lost them at the mall. The Boxes are multifunctional - I wear mine for driving and several other sports. I also use them for cross-country mountain biking and they performed great. Great all-around glass and decent value. Once you buy your first pair of Dragons you'll be hooked!!
Strengths: this is the best sunglass brand around. ive tried glasses from the big O and from other brands, and quite frankly their optical trueness does not hold up. strength wise, these just dont break, and apparently if they do there's a lifetime warranty anyway. the lens tints are also good, they are dark enough to cut down the glare, but not so dark that you cant see everything clearly - i can go from outdoors to inside with the glasses on, no discomfort, and i can see just as well.
Weaknesses: NONE at all
Bottom Line:
best sunglasses around, look great and do the job fantastically cheaper than oakleys i think im going to buy the new dragon rake cause i was so impressed with the boxs

Strengths: Great Looks Don't Fog Durable
Weaknesses: A Little Uncomfortable
Bottom Line:
These are great sunglasses for their price. They don't fog and look great. I accidently rode over them, and they still were like new. The only problem is that at first they squeeze your temples, so you get a headache. It goes away though....
