As a retailer, we set our own prices independently, but some manufacturers restrict how we may communicate those prices. In some cases the manufacturer does not allow us to show you our price until the item is in your cart.
The quality of these glasses is good so far, and the fit is great, but the color of the lenses are not as advertised. I purchased the Black ice tort with blue lenses and the lenses are not blue like the photo, the photo is extremely misleading. They are more solid grey/black with a slight tinge of blue visible in the sunlight. I like colored lenses and I thought that was what I was getting based on the photo, so if you are also hoping they will be colorful, you will be disappointed. Other than that, quality sunglasses as far as I can tell.
