Review: Kaenon Sunglasses

I love my Kaenons and they truly are like seeing the world in a different light! Nice review and glad to see this brand get some proof in the pudding reviews.

I’ve been wearing Kaenon the past 3 years since discovering at Outdoor Retailer. I won’t wear anything else and purchase a new pair each time in SLC!

I’m a habitual breaker/scratcher/loser of sunglasses. I’ve had the same pair of Kaenons for three years counting. They’re too good to give up. Stylish, well-designed, very scratch resistant, excellent quality, and well worth the price.

$165.00 for entry level sunglasses is highway robbery. I thought the price of Oakley’s was ridiculous.

When will people realize Oakley is a marketing juggernaut? Oakley isn’t about real performance, they are about mass marketing and distribution- that’s Oakley’s business model. And I disagree that Kanvas is entry level?

Kaenon sunglasses are simply superior than anything else on the market today. Their styles are cutting edge, and more importantly theirs lens technology is far superior to mass brands such as Oakley or Maui Jim….and oh yeah, they have an Rx program too. Found my local retailer and had the doc put in my rx with their SR-91 lens technology…Now thats cool.

I know that amber lenses usually provide better “pop” than gray but how do Kaenon’s grays compare to the ambers? Do the grays pop as much? I would just get the amber but they only seem to come in the tobacco colored frames and I’d rather have darker frames.

I have worn a set now for a few months. I switched back to my costa’s. They’re a good set of glasses but by far not as good as a set of 580p costa del mar. If your on a budget then these are for you but if you have the extra money get a set of costa’s even the 420’s are better. My biggest issue was fogging up out on the ocean in the heat and looking threw water for bait fish.

I am on my THIRD pair of lenses from Kaenon. The first were broken on my behalf and scratched and I replaced them ,the second experienced delam and extensive scratching of outer film and glass replaced for free, and now the third is scratched to the point of hazyness. I only used the microfiber cloth to clean as suggested. My only guess is that I used them in saltwater and the salt caused scratching when cleaning. Also Kaenon will not cover their SOFT lenses under warranty, $70 for new lenses. Back to Smith.

I am so stoked to have a pair of kaenon burnet’s. I was borrowing my sons $5 thifties shade for ever. I love these things. I almost bought a pair of Maui jim’s but stopped at the last second. I am guessing maybe the costa glasses are pretty good too. All the boat people in cabo swear by them. Great barter tool. Used to be marlboros and play boys twenty years ago! Anyhow, I think I over paid? The total was about $250. Anyone know, because I can still return them? Thanks GC
