I would describle these as a "middle of the road" pair of sunglasses. I have several pair of Smith's sunglasses and these approach their quality but not quite. They have a large coverage area but are not really heavy and seem pretty good for driving. The polarization is great. The fit is good and snug and they don't slip. They do not come with a case but have a bag/cleaning cloth combo. All in all, I am very pleased.
