I do know their material is of excellent quality and has good shelf life. In contrast, I have a couple of hundred pairs of glasses made by Foster Grant, the sun glass people, that have gone to pot in a couple of years stored in a light tight box and in the original sealed plastic envelopes. Remember, those glasses by law are a one shot deal, so the cheaper the better. The polarizing material is not even laminated with a protective coating and the transmission characteristics are anybody's guess. The most common inexpensive glasses available today from Heyderhoff and from Stereo Vision Inc., 3421 W. Burbank Blvd., Bur- bank CA 91505 among others, come in a very good black plastic frame. Stereo Vision also advertizes deluxe glasses. They should be able to fur- nish proper technical details on the construction. Polarization is acceptable in the cheap glasses but the lenses are carelessly inserted in the slotted frame from the top. They are often loose and even rotated several degrees out of position which EN-6 Polarizing Spectacles doesn't help.
