Product Insights
KOMONO's Lionel Square Sunglasses ($150 CAD) target narrow faces with a 113mm total width, 49mm lenses, 15mm bridge, and 146mm temples, part of the 2025 Odyssey collection inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The castor oil bio nylon frame, which biodegrades in about five years in landfill, features a slightly curved upper lensline for a soft edge. Category 3 lenses (8–18% light transmission) block 82–92% visible light and are legal for driving in UK/EU, undercutting premium brands by over half. However, the lenses are non-polarized (reducing brightness but not reflected glare) and flat (lacking 3D shaping for a two-dimensional appearance). One buyer reported six years of use with secure frame durability. Care requires the included case and cloth, avoiding paper tissues and direct sunlight.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Lionel Square Sunglasses: Choose this if you want lightweight, comfortable everyday sun protection: the bioplastic frame (described by its maker as a castor oil-based bio nylon that reduces reliance on fossil resources) pairs with scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses offering 100% UV protection at a Level 3 rating for sunny days. The thick square frame comes in a translucent beige/amber finish with solid brown-tinted lenses, per the product imagery, and a soft designer case and cleaning cloth are included. Note it is offered in one size only (eye width 49 mm, bridge 15 mm, temple 146 mm), so check that the fit works for you.[2,3,4,5] | Serena Square Sunglasses: Choose this if you want lightweight, comfortable sunglasses with a bold square silhouette that the brand's retailers describe as an easy-going yet bold cat-eye look. The bioplastic frame comes in taupe in one size (54 millimetre eye width, 20 millimetre bridge, 145 millimetre temples) with green-tinted lenses offering 100% UV protection and a Level 3 rating that the retailer calls perfect for sunny days, plus scratch-resistant lenses and an included soft case and cleaning cloth. Note that fit depends on those fixed one-size dimensions, since no other sizes are offered for this variant.[6,7,8] | Gloria Rectangular Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a lightweight, comfortable pair of rectangular sunglasses with a slim, slightly upswept silhouette in glossy black or taupe, made from bioplastic. The lenses offer 100% UV protection with a Level 1 rating, which the retailer characterizes as perfect for partly sunny days, and they are scratch-resistant. Each one-size pair (54 mm eye width, 17 mm bridge, 150 mm temples) includes a soft designer case and cleaning cloth.[9,10] |

Komono Clements review
I own Komono Clements. Been happy with them. 40 euros, better than market tier, but Ray-Bans blow them out of the water though. But, they're 40 euros. The lenses aren't rounded or anything, thus they really don't have 3D shape. 3/5 would not buy again since I'm going to invest in a better pair but I'd recommend them.
