I
had purchased these specifically to keep the harsh Arizona sun out of Morgaine’s eyes during
our hikes, and I was really excited when they arrived.
The
glasses come in a little cloth pouch that you can use to clean the lenses with
(it also provides a nice soft case if you need to store the Doogles in your
backpack).
The
sunglass straps fit snugly under her chin and behind her ears, and the glasses
themselves have cushioning on the frames so they sit comfortably.
While
they fit comfortably and securely, she isn’t quiet used to her cool shades yet
and keeps trying to swipe them off. So we’re still in the “adjustment phase” of
this operation.
I have noticed that her depth perception or
field of vision (or both) seems to be altered when she wears her Doogles. She
tends to trip, so when we hike over difficult terrain, I normally take them off
her.
Overall,
I think these will become a hiking staple. They seem to be well made, sturdy,
and designed for maximum comfort.
Doogles
are offered in a variety of sizes and colors (for example the frames are
available in red, black, silver and a gold color) and there are a variety of
lenses available for purchase as well (clear, polarized, ext). The price ranges
from store to store. I paid around $25.00 for her pair.
