The Lucid Blur
So I ordered The Lucid Blur and got them no problem at the bargain-rice of £38, I’m a sunglasses fanatic and always prepared to give new companies a go. They arrived in a decent outer box, a pretty robust soft case and when I took the glasses out they certainly surpassed their £38 price tag in quality, good frame, tight hinges, crisp wording on inside of side arms, robust green semi transparent frame, cool and retro, but how do they fit? Very well, arms fit nicely behind the ears, secure but not too tight and they fitted nice and securely on the bridge of the nose. So far so good. Unfortunately this is where it all went downhill when I took them outside and used them on a cloud clear, sunny sky. The first issue is the lenses, the tint is nowhere near dark enough to deflect uninterrupted bright summer sun, even indirectly. However the real issue comes with the design of the frame, cool and retro for sure, but our faces aren't flat and unfortunately the front face of the LB is, meaning it sits quite far off your face at each side, which means it lets quite a lot of light in and this is a big no no for any sunglasses, especially these. What happens is that the sunlight reflects off that cool retro transparent frame and reflect right back onto the inside of the lenses, meaning that on the left third of the left lens and the right third of the right lens, you have a perfectly reflected image of the side arms, which is very annoying. I’m afraid someone got so carried away with cool design that they completely forgot to make them work as sunglasses. I’m going to take the sunglasses lens out and put optical ones in, that way I’ll certainly get some use out of them as I certainly won’t wear them as sunglasses. This is only an opinion of the LB as I haven’t had any other Donhugh styles. Now , where did I leave my Wayfarers?
