OK so honestly, I was surprised at how good these things are. They fold up nicely, and they are pretty high quality. I literally bring them with me everywhere because it's so easy. Sometimes I leave my house late and it's already dark, and I still bring them cause I'm so used to carrying them around in my pocket. They're super light when they're on your face and they are polarized. If I were you, I'd at least give them a try at some sunglass store, but I wasn't disappointed in my purchase.
