"With my sunglasses on, I'm Jack Nicholson. Without them, I'm fat and 60." -Jack Nicholson There's a certain duality associated with sunglasses. As Nicholson points out, they do a fair job of making us look a certain way. In Jack's case, that look is cool if not outwardly vain while watching an indoor LA Lakers basketball game. But sunglasses also serve a much more functional purpose, a purpose those of us who spend time on the water are very familiar with. That purpose is, of course, to protect our eyes from intense glare and UV radiation. Heck, even the Mayo Clinic recommends sunglasses based purely on their functional purpose. And so, I've taken it upon myself to try out some more sunglasses marketed at outdoor adventure types and boaters.

The Mast SL model is a full frame for medium to Mast SL from Tifosi large sized faces.
