Default KD's sunglasses

Thought I'd do a quick review on these specs.

So I ordered two pairs of KD's sunglasses off ebay.

Very impressed with these glasses. They are great up to about 60mph. They fit and feel great and look good.

For the price you pay and what you get...well worth it.
I wouldn't go base jumping or setting any land speed records with them on, but they are perfect for bombing in and out of town and general rides.

Bought the Smoke and Clear lens for day and night riding.

I bought a pair a few days back - the grey polarized. Had to bend a adjust them to get them to sit well but they're not bad now. Maybe need to fiddle with them a bit more. Polarizing seems good. They're nowhere near as nice as my Ray Bans but at $17 instead of $130 that's what I'd expect. Haven't tried them under the helmet yet though. Decent for the price and I don't have to worry much if I mess them up because they're cheap to replace.

Used mine with contacts at about 90 also, no problems at all. Bought two pair also since they were inexpensive.

Mine work fine about 95 mph in the dirty Cleveland air.

Nice to see Cleveland has not changed since I moved...

I bought 10 pair about 5 years back from an Indy shop that was going out of business. They charged me $2.50 per pair. Incredibly, I still have a couple clear and dark tinted pair that have yet to be worn. Well worth a $25 investment, in my opinion.

Had mine up to100+ the other day, started vibrating pretty hard, but I just squinted and "pinched" them between my forehead and cheeks, smoothed 'em right out.

KDs are awesome for the price!

i've had several pairs of kd's over theyears and have always found them not very good for keeping the crap out of your eyes. i now wear a pair of safety glass from work that work very,very well. tried many different glass's over the years and found these to work best.

Cheap and good. Wore them for years until I bought some better stuff. Still wear them on occasion and like the yellow lens for night riding as it provides good contrast.
