Being somewhat 'particular' on eyewear I thought it was time to try to find another pair of sunglasses in case my trusty old ones got broke or lost god forbid. The problem for me has always been I need a bifocal (std 1.5) to read the panel and I have found it extremely difficult to find a pair of glasses that work with a headset, have the bifocal placed high enough, and ideally have a gradient tint.
So for xmas I treated myself to a new pair of Kestral aviator sunglasses and had my fingers crossed but wasn't really expecting them to satisfy all my requirements. Well like I suspected the bifocal was way to low, so I contacted the company and they immediately said send them back and we'll fix em however you want, no charge! Well because I don't know how to measure in mm's I screwed up where to put them the first (and second) time, I reluctantly contacted them again feeling like an idiot and fully expectiing them to tell me get the F out here... no problem send em back and well take care of it. So anyway, after a couple of back and forths, I finally got the measurements right and now they are as close to perfect as I could ever hope for
Honestly, I was quite surprised at how nice they were despite my ineptness and just kept saying they wanted me to be happy and they would make it right whatever it took.
Bottom line, great folks to deal with, excellent product, beyond friendly service, you just can't ask for more! Special thanks to CSR Sienna Velasco!

Some folks might consider them a bit pricey as I did at first, however I now think for a pair of custom-made sunglasses it was a great deal.
