Overpriced, Scratch Easily

These Italian made fold-flat reading glasses for travel are less impressive than my German edition made by a no-name maker that I found in the local version of REI (called Globetrotter). These Twist Ones have the benefit/problem of being larger lenses (good or bad depending on what you want) and they scratch easily. Very easily. I've had mine for less than a week and both lenses are now scratched but I have no idea how. They haven't taken any falls, nor any impacts, slides, etc. Wish I could find the other brand, again... next time I'm back in Germany.Update: So, the seller saw this review (above) and contacted me to see if I wanted a replacement. I agreed to try them out, and they sent me a new pair, gratis, plus a different pair called the Nannini, which as the name would imply is smaller (maybe 20% smaller overall), but as the seller was explaining, has a harder lens coating on them, so should be tougher against scratching. With that said, I have to give the seller full marks. That's a different rating, so it doesn't directly apply to the glasses, but I'll try the new ones and see if they do any better. Possibly, the Nannini will l survive better.

The saying is true that “You get what you pay for”.

Very flimsy and over-priced for what you get. I would not recommend. I ordered this because I was going on an international trip. Although it’s quite slim when folded, it is very flimsy to put together for use. After only a few uses, the plastic material wears quickly to the point where the “hinged” areas do NOT stay connected very well. Frustrating to say the least.

Great quality, easy to use glasses

I really like these glasses. Although, they are light and take up very little space, they are well built.The case that it comes in is very helpful. It helps me keep track of them by letting me store them in this protective case instead of leaving the glasses laying around (and then I forget where I put them). I can carry these glasses around with me in its case, sometimes when I am in a hurry I put the case with the glasses in my back pocket and after awhile I forget they are there and sit down on the couch. Then I can feel them in my back pocket. I carefully take them out of the pocket without them being broken and stick them in my shirt pocket. I don't recommend sitting down with them in your back pocket, but I've done this multiple times and they have not broken.The black handles that fold over your ears have a locking mechanism to keep them in place.That connection between the black handles and the clear plastic lens' have no locking mechanism. The result of this is that if something bumps your glasses while you have them on, they will become very crooked because these connection points will move/fold. The glasses can be straightened out easily, if bumped. The lens is easy to keep clean and free of scratches.Overall, a great product.

These glasses are awesome..

These glasses are awesome.............I bought one pair and immediately loved them and now I have three more pair for a total of four. I love that they fold flat and fit into my pocket, which is great for those of use that don't carry a purse. I also love that they look trendy, just because I am almost 62, doesn't mean that I have to wear the ugly granny glasses they sell at the local drug store. The baby boomers (which I am a part of) want to continue to look up to date in our senior years,. I guarantee that you will love these glasses and return to buy more!!!

Great Product

Great pair of readers. I keep these in the truck. They come in a case that’s like 1/4” thick and fits great in your pocket. They are made of plastic, so durability will be a test of time.

Great form and size, a little blurry on the periphery

Nice form, articulates as advertised. These are all plastic, so the lens can have some blurry spots, particularly on the edges. Works best as a small extra pair of glasses, especially if you will focus straight ahead and not peek out of the corner of your eyes - then you see the blurry edge of the plastic lens.
