Product Insights
Quay's On Brand Wide Oval Sunglasses offer 100% UVA/UVB protection with a Category 3 tint and a multi-layer acetate frame that provides a warm, substantial feel and sweat-resistant grip, but tradeoffs include a medium-large rigid fit that may leave a gap on wide faces, lenses that scratch and delaminate despite scratch-resistant labeling, and a heat-sensitive acetate frame lacking spring hinges and polarization for the $115 CAD price.

User regrets buying High Keys due to poor quality and eye protection
Ugh I love their size and shape because I have a wide, chubby face and most sunglasses are too narrow on me but I refuse to pay $65 for $10 quality sunglasses. I regret buying the blue High Keys because they're flimsy, easy to bend, easy to scratch and honestly, I don't find that they actually protect your eyes from the sun. The lens itself doesn't do shit AND there is a huge gap (you can see it in the picture) between your eyes and the sunglasses so the sun shines directly into this gap lol it's really a $65 low quality fashion accessory

User likes Quay for affordable style and frequent sales
I am always afraid to lose mine at the beach or just forget them somewhere, but also don’t want them to look cheap so I like Quay. They run awesome sales and the styles do change for collabs and stuff

User criticizes Quay as overpriced plastic compared to budget brands
I'm sorry, but I can't bring myself to go past Goodr or Shady Rays level prices ($25 to $40) for plastic sunglasses with plastic lenses. The sunglasses industry really went through a race to the bottom the last few years, from a materials standpoint. They're all disposable, scratch easy, and should be purchased for as little as possible since you'll need to replace them in a year or two.

User explains lens delamination issue with Quay sunglasses
It's delamination; the layers of the lenses are separating. Quay's a budget brand with budget lenses and there's nothing you can do about it. You'll either have to replace the lenses or live with it.
