“For Pack Leaders”
($100; zealoptics.com)
Small-faced testers literally leapt for joy when they saw the Zing, and didn’t stop raving till they took them off. One tester, who has struggled in the past with too-large glasses called the Zing’s small size and big style just what she’d been looking for. Zeal’s obsessive dedication to fit means that these are also some of the snuggest frames we tried. They even have moveable nose pads, so you can adjust where they hit your face, another plus for narrow faces. The lenses are Zeal’s proprietary polarized ZB-13, which testers liked on cloudy and bright days alike. Be warned: Zeal isn’t kidding when they call these frames extra small. Testers with slightly bigger faces struggled with tightness in the temples, and light leakage around the eyes.
