I don't know, but I had a nightmare about my ewires last night. I had a dream that for some reason I set them next to the door and the glass lenses got chipped on the corners. It really had me upset. I was thinking of ways to call the company and scream that they chipped from materials defect. :p

Link (check the bronze polarized....they ROCK)

they are plastic frames that are coated with some sort of metal and then painted.

If you heat them in the fire elvish writing will glow on the side of them. My friend Sauron has a pair that he swears by.

regular jackets aren't coated with the metal. they may have a metallic paint on them but it's not as sturdy.
