KastKing Ellijay Bifocal Polarized Sunglasses, Bi-Focal x1.5 x2.0 x2.5 Magnifications, Wrap Sport Reader Sunglasses by KastKing

While other name brand sunglasses may be of fine quality, for the price / value, I am quite pleased with the quality of these sunglasses. The frames are very durable & flexible, the lenses are very clear, particularly in bright to very bright conditions. The reader portion is positioned perfectly so as not to interfere with your overall vision, and also to provide for excellent clarity when needed. I’ve only had these for several weeks, but have used them quite a bit for hiking and riding my atv, and plan to try them riding my motorcycle. Just hope that the reader portion holds up over time, as I know that they are glued on, but after several cleanings, all is well.

I have been wearing sunglass readers for well over a decade. My experience has shown that there are 2 types of sunglass reader options. Very expensive and Cheaply made. Until now, every purchase of a “budget” brand has resulted in disappointment, being cheaply built and seem to have visual distortions that make them undesirable. So I have been sticking with the Maui Jim’s and Costa’s. I am hard on sunglasses, leave them laying around, lose and break them, so the $250 versions are tough when this happens. Also, Costa sold out a few years ago and it just seems like the lenses scratch or get damaged easy and Maui Jim also sold out recently as well.

So I ordered a pair of Cast Kings about one month ago. The style was very similar to the Costa’s that I have. They are every bit as comfortable as the Costa’s or Maui JIm sunglasses. The visual acuity is also excellent noticing no difference in quality as compared to the previously mentioned brands.

Will the coatings last as long? I don’t know yet, but I can say after about one month of use in dusty conditions, there was no visual degradation of coatings. This is why I recently ordered and received a second pair. When you consider that these are about 20%-to 25% of the cost of those other brands, Cast Kings are a no-brainer

Very good in case you fishing without guide and need to do some precision work with lines, etc
Good UV protection

Love the Kastking bifocals. Super comfortable. The frame material flexes so that really helps.
I have had other glasses that don’t flex and they were uncomfortable and the lenses popped out or they broke at the bottom of the lense.
These are good if you rinse them and clean with a microfiber….. generally scratch resistant however if you put them up on your head and forget they are there and they fall off on the asphalt they will scratch… LOL, but that’s on me.
I got the Chartreuse Mirror lense with the brown frame and the Gloss Graydrift Frame with the Smoke – Ocean Mirror lense. The Chartreuse lense does change colors a little bit and I find they make it harder for me to track and find golf balls. I do like them for driving as they don’t change colors so much as to affect me telling red, yellow, green and actually enhance driving vision a bit. I prefer the Smoke-ocean mirror lense for golf. These just darken everything a bit and don’t let much sun through so best in bright sun. Both provide sharp clear vision.
So these are great with a hat as they are more round at the corners so they fit better under the brim. I have the Kastking Waccamaw too and those are great without a hat, they hit the sides of the brim cause they are a little square at the top corners.

Great quality! Great style. Too them on vacation and the readers made every hour better as I shifted between the scenic vistas and my cell phone maps and camera.
