Forget the $100 Ray-Bans, sometimes when you travel you just want a pair of inexpensive and attractive sunglasses that get the job done. Cheap gas station or flea market sunglasses are often uncomfortable, shoddily made and ugly. There’s a cheaper, more comfortable and more attractive way to protect your eyes from the sun: 3M 11330 Virtua Anti-Fog Safety Glasses.
Wait…3M makes sunglasses?
Technically, 3M makes ‘safety glasses with UV protection’. Make no mistake, however, the 3M 11330 Virtua Anti-Fog Safety Glasses are designed to protect your eyes from the sun at least as well as more expensive sunglasses options. According to the packaging, the “polycarbonate lenses provide 99.9% UVA and UVB protection”.
Added protection of safety glasses
In addition to protecting your eyes from the sun, 3M sunglasses offer the protection of safety glasses as well. That means the glasses can help shield you from small rocks and flying particles and objects during your travels.
Simple, sporty and attractive appearance
The 3M sunglasses look comparable to many other sport inspired sunglasses styles. In fact, you may even receive a few compliments while you’re wearing them (I know I have!).
These 3M sunglasses are only $3 to $7 a pair
You can buy one pair for about $7 including shipping, which is considerably less expensive than most other sunglasses, even the cheap ones. Consider purchasing a two-pack or four-pack of the sunglasses, which brings the price down to about $3 to $4 per pair of glasses, including shipping. Give a pair to a friend or toss a spare pair in the drawer.
A few drawbacks
The 3M 11330 Virtua Anti-Fog Safety Glasses are NOT polarized. The sunglasses also don’t fold up very compactly since the lenses are very curved to wrap around your head.
3M makes other styles of sunglasses, too
3M 11330 Virtua Anti-Fog Safety Glasses are not the only style of sunglasses offered by 3M. Multiple other 3M sunglasses styles exist, including: sport inspired, classic and modern styles.
