Most Notable Frames: Emerson, Wesley, Lance, Maxwell, Nick, Abner

WMP Eyewear has been on my purchase list for quite some time now. I really enjoy their unique taste in classic frames such as the Aviator or Wayfarers and really wanted to see if their fantastic style was complimented by both their affordability and quality. I decided to go with the Emerson Sunglasses. Coming in at just $39.00 they have a wonderful style to them and the contrast between the Tortoise frames and blue lenses was very attractive in my opinion. I also managed to snag a 15% discount code for signing up for their text alerts. This saved me a nice additional $5.85. 

The checkout process was very easy, although I was a bit disappointed by both the postage and packaging costs and estimated delivery times. I’m based in the United Kindom and shipping was $8.99 while the estimated delivery time was anywhere from 9 to 18 business days – quite long. I’m sure if you’re based in the US then this would be a lot quicker, but for Europeans and the wider world, expect to be waiting. After waiting for 2 weeks I received my package 13 working days after the purchase was made. This was actually a lot quicker than I thought it would and I wasn’t lumbered with import fees. WMP also provides tracking information so you can view where your sunglasses are every step of the way. 

Now onto the frames themselves. Whenever it comes to frames at prices as cheap as WMP Eyewear i’m usually very skeptical of their quality and always bracing myself for the worse. The thing is, these sunglasses were of fantastic quality especially when compared to other brands that take the Mickey with their prices. It’s fair to say that WMP offers a lot of bang for your buck. The lenses are polarised, scratch resistant, and also have an anti-glare coating. 

The frame is made from acetate with five-barrel stainless steel hinges and the lenses are polycarbonate lenses that offer 100% UV protection. Is the acetate the highest quality I’ve ever come across? Absolutely not, but again, for the price you pay, I really find it difficult to fault the glasses or recommend another brand that has such great value for money.
