Product Insights

Don't Cha Long Oval Sunglasses by Le Specs offer a distinctive elongated oval silhouette that suits oblong or heart-shaped faces, with a broader fit for larger faces. They provide inherent UV400 protection and Category 3 tint ideal for bright conditions. Priced at 100 CAD, they deliver comparable polycarbonate lenses and UV protection to Warby Parker's $130 frames, plus a hard-shell case and extendable warranty. However, buyers report frame cracks and hinge rust within two years, especially without the case, and polycarbonate lenses may warp above 60°C. Hinges require periodic drying and tightening to maintain integrity.

Verified claims

Frame integrity
Buyers report frame cracks and hinge rust within two years.
Lens care
Polycarbonate lenses can be damaged by heat above 60°C and require gentle cleaning.
Rust prevention
Hinges may rust within two years; cleaning and screw adjustments extend life.
Frame cracking
Buyers report frame cracks within two years when stored without the included hard case.
Hinge care
Hinges need periodic tightening and drying to prevent corrosion and stress cracks.
UV protection
Inherent UV400 protection cannot be scratched off.
Warranty
Registering extends the standard warranty from 6 to 12 months.
Fit
Broader than Le Specs' 51–52 mm models, fitting 127–132 mm faces.
Face shape
Long oval silhouette lengthens and slims oblong or heart-shaped faces.
Tint
Category 3 tint filters 82–92% of visible light, ideal for bright sun and driving.
Value
100 CAD buys the same polycarbonate and UV protection as Warby Parker's $130 frames, plus a hard case and extendable warranty.
Material
Polycarbonate is lightweight and scratch-resistant with care, but can warp above 60°C and some buyers report frame cracking.
Durability
Some praise build quality; others report cracking and rusting.
Protective case
Hard-shell case with soft lining prevents stress cracks and scratches.

    I got a pair and they feel pretty cheap. They randomly cracked right in the front and I just tossed em. I had only used them for a couple years.
