below today on frame Friday we are reviewing
William painter sunglasses and chances are if you've already heard of these
sunglasses it's from their YouTube William painter ad. William painter! they
look good in board shorts and heading to the boardroom. now the real value and
William painters comes from their sales promise that they are the most high
quality most durable pair of sunglasses that you can buy that come with a
lifetime guarantee so if you somehow do break them or even lose them they will
replace them for you so I thought what do I have to lose so I went and
ordered a pair and now let's go over some of the pros and cons first thing I
like is the different frame options they have a wide selection different frames
and they're all very similar to other popular famous brands on the market this
frame just happens to look a lot like ray-ban new Wayfarers this frame is
actually called the hook and it is a patented design that actually includes a
bottle opener in the temple and yes, it works.
now this party trick works because the temples are made with titanium which is
very strong they're certainly not the only company or the first company to
come up with using titanium in their glasses but it does add to their
durability the downside is that titanium makes the glasses a little bit heavy
however I do find that they're very well balanced and when you're actually
wearing them you can't really tell that they're that heavy and they're actually
quite comfortable now yes the temples are made of titanium but the front face
is actually made of acetate so it actually does have a little bit of flex
to it and so when you're wearing them you can actually make adjustments to
make them fit a little bit better but honestly just taking them straight out
of the package and then have to adjust them at all they fit perfectly now when
it comes to the lenses of William painter sunglasses these ones are made
of nylon which are actually better for reducing your chance of developing
scratches or in breaking the lenses plus the lenses
do offer 100% UVA and UVB light protection which is really important to
me as an eye doctor and the lenses are polarized so it does a great job of
reducing glare now as you see here I ordered a red mirror lens they do have
other options including blue and the standard gray lens if you're getting
value out of this video smash that like button for me otherwise let's get back
to the review now one of the downsides is that this pair of sunglasses does not
have a backside anti-reflective coating very high-quality sunglasses
usually have an anti-reflective coating on the backside to prevent any sort of
reflection of your own eye or any sort of sunlight maybe coming from behind you
otherwise it just bounces off that lens and then go straight into your eye again
I think if the William painter brand was looking to up the quality of their
lenses they'd simply just add an anti-reflective coating and hey if
you're not true anti-reflective is or how it benefits your glasses then you
can check out my other video I'll link up here or in the description below
about anti reflective lenses one more downside to these frames is similar to a
lot of other brands they include a logo stamp of the logo in one of the far
edges of the lenses it just happens to be the William painter logo is rather
large and while I'm wearing them I can actually see this like distorted kind of
blurry image up to the side and I find it very distracting especially while I'm
driving it's almost like a bug is way up there or maybe I have a large floater or
something like that I suppose I could just scratch off the logo or spray paint
the whole thing and make it like a Casey Neistat frame. it's certainly not a deal
breaker but I do find a little bit distracting but other than these two
things the only other issue I had was actually when ordering the lenses they
actually sent me the wrong pair it wasn't really all that big of a deal it
gave me a chance to maybe try out a different frame of theirs which was
sadly a little bit too big for me but the quality was pretty much the same but
now I can test the William painters customer service and they were easy to
work with and they got me the right pair of sunglasses pretty quickly but
honestly despite a few just minor flaws and a few bumps in the road getting them
I actually do really like these glasses I do find them very comfortable
I find them stylish and they do protect my eyes plus they even have that
lifetime guarantee which is pretty attractive considering how expensive
good-quality sunglasses can go the price of these sunglasses has been changing I
think almost a year ago they're only about $100 now they're approaching 2
hundred so if you want to see updated prices I have included a link in the
description below if you want to check them out so why ask questions the day
