Craft Cool Mesh Superlight Sleeveless Base Layer
S, M and 2XL for $15.78
XS, L and XL for $25.78This is a $50 garment. Not everyone agrees on summer base layers but for those who like them as much as I, this is a killer deal.

I purchased the black one and it was legit Craft however it was direct from Amazon not a third party. The black one's logo seems correct in photo. Not sure why the white one has the enlarged logo but beware both at the cheapest price are not direct from Amazon at this price.

I own 3 pairs including the ones you posted. The lenses aren't Prizm. And no, I don't think they're a partner for USA Cycling. They should be reported.
If you care about your eyesight get them refunded or just chalk this one up.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but these are fakes.

And the description doesn't mention Prizm anywhere at all for these cheap knockoffs.

Srsly dude, he said 'lookalikes', obviously they're not real. That's why they're cheap. And I wouldn't say I don't care about my eyesight, but I'm not worried that low-quality sunglasses are going to injure me. I'm just lookin to make the world a little darker.

If I'd have thought quicker, I would have shopped around the site and maybe added a few more standard items, like tubes and such

Yep, ordered up those glasses. Played around with adding items etc...
Fount out that adding two rolls of bar tape to a decent handful of those free shades ended up with free shipping so only paid $4 for the whole thing.

Yeah, I threw in one of their $30 generic go pros and a couple of $4 head lamps for my kids' christmas stockings and got the shades for free too. Sure, it's probably all cheap chinese crap that may or may not work, but it ended up being less than $40. Maybe a bit pricey for a pair or knock off sunglasses, but if either the camera or the lights work (even if the glasses are junk - and I need a pair of knockaround glasses to leave in the car), I figure I'll come out fine.

I think I got a shipping notice for the sunglasses. I know I got for the other things I ordered. It seems like each shipped separately, so I haven't tracked. Given that they're all coming from china (and with free shipping), I wouldn't expect to see them for 3-4 weeks. Sort of the definition of a slow boat to (from) China and all that.

It took 9 days to make it to the US but still not to my house yet.
I did not spend a whole $6 on just any knockoff glasses!!
The "HOT DEAL" I specifically got is:
-a chance that the lenses, when looked through, have that blur effect. (So I think I'm going way faster than I really am.)
-If i'm lucky the recycled plastic frames will have ground up PED's in them. (So I every time I put them on my cycling ability increases by 10% more than normal.)
-I chose the Blue color. (I read online that squirrels fear the color blue, now they will never run across the road in front of me again.)
That is the Hot Deal I'm getting from my made in China crap glasses.

I have heard nothing. I have a PayPal receipt though (SmartShare LLC, plus an email to an .edu), so I expect the glasses will eventually show up, or PayPal will get me a refund.
