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.

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.
