Gargoyles Striker Sunglass Review
First Impressions
Out of the box, the Gargoyles Striker Sunglasses catch your eye. Sleek and athletic looking, they pull up tight at the top of your nose bridge and offer a great visual experience with sharp clarity and a wrap-around view. The nylon frames are lightweight and snug. My first impression was very positive!
Features
The flexible wrap-around frame, which promises 210 degrees of pure sight extension, delivers with great resolution. I loved the increased vision. The lens tint gave a high definition look all around. The thermal cured scratch resistant lens hard coating, however, didn’t hold up well. I was surprised to get an early ding. When I took them running, I was a little disappointed with a slight bounce when I ran on hard surfaces. They did, however, hold up better on bike rides. Because of the snug fit, while working up a sweat, perspiration would collect just inside the top of the nose bridge.
Specs

Fit
Without a lot of jarring movement, the Gargoyle Striker fit is great. They are lightweight and comfortably snug. They wrap around at just the right angles to offer a very pleasant visual experience.
Final Verdict
The Gargoyle Striker sunglasses get high marks on form, less so on athletic function. Nevertheless, you can get away with them if a game breaks out. They are also great for everyday wear barring any unforeseen ding.
