Darien also comes in polycarbonate lenses for a little less money.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve worn these almost daily for the last three months. They\u2019ve become my go-to sunglasses for outdoor activities.<\/p>\n<p>Bajio defines the Darien as a medium fit with a full wrap. The frames are contoured well to fit securely on my head, even in gusty wind, and the wide temples effectively block sun from the sides. Noticeable too, is that they don\u2019t slide down my nose under the intense sun. Compared to other polarized lenses I\u2019ve used, these deliver a noticeably sharper and more vibrant view with excellent glare reduction. While the style might not be the most flattering, I\u2019ve found function and performance tend to matter most for sport-focused sunglasses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Next:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/gear\/\">Check out our gear page<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>The included storage box is a little cumbersome to open and close, so I\u2019ve opted to use the draw string microfiber bag Baijo also provided.
