Gloryfy unbreakable sunglasses: Road Test
Unbreakable sunnies? Now that sounds like a fun challenge.
What is it?
A range of “unbreakable” sunnies.
Sounds like a challenge. Well, naturally. I twisted and bent them, sat and stamped on them, bit them, beat them until my fists were raw and rode over them with a pogo stick. Good as new! (Got some funny looks in the park though).
Shoot them; that’ll do it. Someone on YouTube has already tried that; the rounds from his .22 rifle barely dented the lenses. Turns out they’re “ballistics rated”, too.
Clever tech, eh? Yes, it’s a “flex polymer” invented by some genius in Austria. It feels like normal plastic but it’s very bendy, with a “memory” that returns to its original shape.
Anything else? The lenses are interchangeable and there are dozens of styles. From everyone who has ever snapped their Ray-Bans by sitting on them, three cheers for Austria! (But you’re still not forgiven for giving us Hitler and yodelling.)

Sailing close to a cliche
It feels a little dirty walking into a pub before noon, but at Totti’s in Bondi, my advice is to get in early.
