These look enormous.  I like fitovers, but not these.

I use them for gardening, but, then I like large sunglasses, so size is not a problem.

@SurferWife I've worn fit overs for at least 10 years, as the price of prescription sunglasses became prohibitively expensive with my prescription, which seems to change every time I get my eyes examined.

 

I bought a pair of Prive Riveaux fit overs from QVC a few months ago and have been very happy with them for the following reasons:
*I think they're better at screening out glare than my other fit overs (which weren't bad).

*They seem more substantial than my others, but they aren't heavy.

*The style's big enough to fit over just about any size eyeglass frame. 

*They're very comfortable, both on your face and on top of your head. 
*They're much less expensive than the other name brands of fit overs.

 

I pre-purchased the current TSV in purple the other day because I like the ones I have so much that I wanted to have a spare pair. The only thing I don't like about them is that they don't fit in my Vera Bradley clam shell glass case. Oh well!

I bought the original fit over sunglasses from QVC that are excellent because they are Polaroid.

 

But they are just so bulky that I have them in my glove compartment to use only if I have forgotten my prescription sunglasses.  And after looking at these I would hate to think that I would have to wear them for any extended period of time.

 

If you are careful a good pair of prescription sunglasses will last for years and years, my pair is at least 20 years old.

@SurferWife   I don't like the ones with the mirror finish, I wouldn't use those but the other color choices are really nice.

 

Not buying the fit over but I did buy 2 pr some weeks ago of their shades that I'm taking to my eye specialist to put in my sunglasses prescription lenses. I love the two pr that I have, I'll be doing this very soon.

I personally think this is one of the most over-hyped lines of products on QVC.  I find these sunglasses are horribly cheap quality.  They feel cheap and look cheap.  I'm done with this line. 

 

And yes I speak from personal experience.  I've ordered from both QVC and the PR website as well as seeing these in person on a cruise ship.

@SurferWife   I’d love to try a pair of their fitovers but this style is huge! Any unisex style will be way too big for my face and most of the ones for women are, too. I’m disappointed. Not even going to bother watching a presentation.

 

I do have a few nice pairs of fitovers by Jonathan Paul.

I have a pair and love them.  I like fit overs and do not like messing around with two pair.  I ordered the navy ones this time.  Not heavy and I like them big.

 

Going to split with my daughter.

I have a pair of the fit overs that I ordered from their website.  They are great....very comfortable, don't push your eyeglasses into your skin, look nice and work great.

 

Very nice quality.  If I didn't already have a pair I would order.

No for me. I ordered the Prive Revaux regular sunglasses that were shown a couple of months ago, and they were a bad fit for me, plus very uncomfortable so I returned them. The fit-overs just look too bulky for me, plus I don't trust the fit based on my last experience with the brand.
