Good Points
Liked the style, comfortable to wear, cool looking.

Bad Points
The frame around the lens decided to 'self destruct' while I was wearing them out at sea on a boat fishing. The frame around the left lens just simply went 'pop' and the lens fell out onto the deck. The frame had split rendering the glasses useless.

General Comments
I bought these 'Bloc Hornet' sunglasses less than a year ago for £25 from Marinestore Chandlery, Walton on the Naze Essex. I took them back to Marinestore but was met with "you must have sat on them".

However, that isn't true. No joy from Marinestore then so I emailed the UK importer to complain that my sunglasses had simply 'exploded while wearing them'. Needless to say, I never did get any reply from BLOC. I regret spending £25 on a pair of BLOC sunglasses because the after sales customer care is non existent and the glasses failed during normal useage. I have had to throw away a pair of BLOC sunglasses that are less than a year old. I would never buy another pair of BLOC sunglasses.
