Product Insights
At $29 CAD, Le 31's Club Retro Sunglasses deliver >95% polarization, UV protection, and a metal-frame design typically found at higher prices, thanks to Simons' curation. The round frame suits most face shapes while minimizing edge distortion, though polarized lenses may interfere with LCD screens and car windshields.
Verified claims
- Value
- At $29 CAD, polarized lenses and metal frame are typical of $45–60 sunglasses.
- Polarization
- Polarized lenses deliver substantial glare reduction; at this price point, polarized film typically achieves 95% or greater efficiency, and the product provides 100% UV protection.
- Metal frame
- Metal and plastic frame with cool, stress-crack resistant metal front and lightweight design reduces lens stress.
- Design curation
- Le 31 is a Simons-owned label, so the silhouette, proportions, and lens tint come from Simons' seasonal buying and design process; this usually translates into a more considered fit and a less duplicated colorway.
- Optical clarity
- The round frame shape centers the line of sight, so minor edge distortions are pushed into the far periphery where they are less noticeable.
- Design provenance
- Le 31 is a Simons-owned label, so the silhouette and colorway are less likely to be endlessly duplicated across no-name dropshippers.
- Lens optical quality
- Polarized warm-tint lenses boost contrast and cut haze, while the round frame geometry helps keep minor edge distortions in the periphery.
- Face shape suitability
- Round frames complement oval, square, heart, and oblong faces, with a harmonious effect on round faces.
- Contrast enhancement
- Subtle warm tint boosts contrast and cuts haze outdoors.
- Durability
- The metal face frame provides inherent resistance to stress-cracking, making the frame feel more durable than fully injection-molded plastic budget frames.
- Lens Material
- At this price point, the lenses are almost certainly triacetate (TAC), which is lighter than glass, more impact-resistant than CR-39, and inherently blocks UV up to 400nm.
- Optical Performance
- Warm-tinted polarized lenses and a round frame that keeps edge distortions peripheral deliver near-premium daily optical performance for casual outdoor use.
- Lens stress
- Reduces long-term risk of polarizing film warping or delamination.
- UV protection
- Provides 100% UV protection; at this price point, TAC lens substrate inherently blocks UV up to 400nm, so protection does not rely on a coating that can wear off.
- Screen & windshield distortion
- Polarized lenses can cause visual distortion on LCD screens such as phones and GPS, and may affect visibility through some car windshields.
- Build quality
- Customer reviews on file report mixed durability: one reviewer says the frame broke at the screw that holds the bridge within a week, and another says the tinted lens separates easily from the frame.
- Frame weight
- The lightweight frame exerts less clamping force on the lenses than heavy acetate or tight-fitting designs.

Broken within a week
These are very nice but the frame broke at the screw that holds the bridge to the frame and now one side pops up.
