When it comes to sunglasses, it’s often a struggle to find a pair that I like that also isn’t astronomical in price, yet are built well and will last a long time. I once splurged and purchased an expensive pair from a shopping mall store, and had them less than a month before they disappeared. I’m not one to lose things, but this story seems to repeat itself. Because the next pair I bought, I decided to try one of those under $10 kiosks, and then those broke, and the next, same kiosk, those broke. And so the spell went, until finally, I refused to trust myself with sunglasses. And then one day, the sun burned light trails into my retina and I decided to look online for the right pair.

Obviously, I couldn’t be trusted with a hundred dollar-plus pair again, but I wanted something I liked, and that would last, and I found Woodies. The brand made me laugh, but the price made it serious, because for a little more than the mall kiosks, I could have a trendy pair of wood glasses, with their own wood case, which I figured couldn’t hurt when it came to the longevity of the sunglasses. I reached out then went through Amazon, and a week later, my eyes were thanking me.
I have Woodies Walnut Wood Wayfarer style, which is a lightweight, wood-framed sunglasses with an attractive walnut on the ears and black plastic around the eyes. The glass shades are anti-reflective, polarized and shaded pure black to match the plastic. The woodwork is nice and finished sleek and smooth, and the hardware comes well intact, and only with time will I know how long these will last, but so far so good. The Wayfarer style is great for a modern look, and sized for larger, rounder heads.
All in all, I’m impressed so far with the look and feel of the wood sunglasses. The sunglasses tack on very little weight for when I travel, and the box does indeed help with my unintended brutal streak of taking care of my sunglasses. Woodies makes a solid product that they price fair and over deliver on.
