Perks
Virage uses 1.1-millimeter polarized lenses for their sport sunglasses. The lenses have a 400 UV rating. The lenses allow you to see surfaces in bright conditions rather than just the sun glare. When used on the water, the polarized lenses allow you to see up to 20 feet deep into the water by eliminating glare off the water surface.
Sacrifices
Given their effective lenses and low-end price, the Virage polarized sport sunglasses had to sacrifice somewhere. That sacrifice came in the plastic frames, which have durability issues. Although very light, the frames look and feel cheap and will break when minimal amounts of pressure are applied.
Bottom Line
The frame's lack of durability should give pause to those individuals whose activities create heavy wear and tear on their sunglasses. However, any outdoors enthusiast looking to save some money should consider a pair.
