All the lenses are made from the finest material in the world--with advanced molecular technology that's engineered into the glass itself--helping them last a lifetime with proper care. Serengeti Molecular Technologies Some of the most fascinating technology in the car isn't a part of the car at all. For example, every pair of Serengeti sunglasses is equipped with photochromic technology, which helps the sunglass lenses change as quickly as the scenery. With photochromic lenses, the molecules inside the lenses adjust to the changing light conditions, causing them to lighten and darken automatically. The keeps your eyes from straining or growing tired, as the lenses do most of the work for you. Plus, the photochromic technology is inherent in the glass, so it never wears off or wears out. The lenses also offer Spectral Control technology, which provides unparalleled hi-def contrast and superior color enhancement by filtering specific colors from the visible light spectrum. This, in turn, results in crisper color and clearer images. In addition, Spectral Control lenses block the distracting blue light that causes blurring, minimizing eyestrain and eye fatigue. Finally, many of Serengeti's glasses include polarized lenses with glare reduction technology. Light tends to bounce and reflect off a myriad of surfaces, such as water, snow, or the road. Serengeti polarizing technology, however, removes the glare--and the stress it causes on your eyes. Serengeti's eye protection goes well beyond government and commercial standards, helping your eyes stay sharp and stay safe.

Serengeti 6935 Velocity Espresso non polarized Dr gradient 8 base
So these are excellent but a few things to be aware of prior to the review. I paid approximately $120 for these on Amazon Prime but there are other offers for the same sunglasses that are $25 more. They advertise the new upgraded silicone nose pads. These have the silicone nose pads and these were made in Japan dated 11/11/2015. They come in a high class box with what almost seems an oversized hard case and a very nice cleaning cloth. Everything about these glasses scream QUALITY.The first place I went was to a local optometrist office that sells glasses and asked them to fit them on me. Most offices will always do this for free and this has two Prime benefits. First they will fit perfectly and second they won't fall off when you bend over. They come with fairly straight arms and these need to be bent to fit slightly tighter over your ears so they cannot just fall off. Also this makes them better in the case because the arms won't touch the glass. With real glass these would undoubtedly break if they fall on a hard surface. As a retired airline and military pilot I can honestly say these are the best sunglasses I have ever owned. I recently underwent cataract surgery in both eyes and with new interocular lenses in my eyes I am seeing 20/15 distance and everything is quite bright. These glasses simply improve the quality of vvision and are perfect for driving. I had tried a polarized sunglass which you would never be able to wear in an airliner but the problem with a polarized sunglass is that something like a GPS will look strange.If you can get these for close to half of the suggested retail price they are a steal. The shading is perfect. I have read reviews where the small screws might have a tendency to loosen so that is something to monitor.

I love these sunglasses
I've had these sunglasses almost a month now and really do love them. I keep them in my truck and wear them on the road from dawn to dusk They are super comfortable.They eliminate glare and make things clear and crisp. The color is obvious but not over powering.The darkening and lighting effect is subtle but effective. I find they lighten up better then they darken but the gradual top to bottom dark to light works really well in your vehicle making it easier to see the interior dash, gauges, dials then a strait tinted glass does.My one negative is I find they do slide down a lot when walking. I'm sure I could make some adjustments to the arms or ear hooks but I don't use them in that capacity very often and they do stay put when I'm driving which is 90% of the time I'm wearing them.$200 is a lot of money for sunglasses (for me anyway). I don't take the purchase lightly, I buy and wear sunglasses for performance, safety and practicability and not so much for fashion.For years I stayed with Ray-Ban and Oakley and still love my Oakley Jury's.I recently started wearing a pair of Costa's with cognac lenses that are by far my favorite all around go to pair of sunglasses but these Serengeti's even out perform those for driving.I hope that info's helpful, good luck

they do seem to otherwise reflect the excellent quality I would expect from Serengeti
I am unsure of the authenticity because the logo is not the "S" on the lens but an actual "SERENGETI", spelled out. These do appear to be different in terms of branding compared to what the picture displayed. I did some research on Serengeti's website and some of their glasses appear to have the exact same branding on them as this pair so there is that. I'm going to ask and find out. Regardless, they do seem to otherwise reflect the excellent quality I would expect from Serengeti. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars at this time is my big question mark on the branding. If I discover that, yes, these indeed are legitimate Serengeti Velocity sunglasses, I will revise my review to reflect such.SUPERQUICK UPDATE: The seller responded really quick and explained that all the new lenses are being updated with the new branding and that as new pictures are made available for the update products they are appearing on Serengeti's website. This is what I pretty much saw when I went to Serengeti's website, a mix of the old branding and new branding. Everything else seems to be on the up and up and this confirms in my mind a legit product.

Excelent for driving in any weather
These are great driving glases in all weather conditions. I always have kept sun glases in my truck and weare them from dawn till dusk every day. I have owned a pair of polarized Serengeti glases 15 years ago they were very good but heavy because of the glass lenses. The Velocity are very light with the minaral lenses and still have the clarity of a glass lenses. The driver gradient tint is excellant for driving ajusting the darknes as the day or whether changes. I do see a bit of dash reflecting in the windshield however it is not anything that affects you vision and if I put on my Ray Band polirised it disappears. The gradient lenses gives you a great view of your dash and cell phone with the gradient tint. I carry both these and a polirised pair of glass Ray Bands to have the best of both worlds but I were the Serengeti glases all the time they are comfortable and have good side coverage. May be I will buy a pair of polirised gradient Sarengeti in the future. You will like theses glases for quality and great look.
