Super lightweight reading glasses.

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • No large case to carry
  • Easy to wear

Cons

  • Would like to see a 3.00 strength

 Anyone my age knows you need reading glasses to use a map. I got tired of carrying my glasses in a bulky, heavy case. These, in their case, are the size of a credit card and weigh about 11 grams. The glasses alone weigh under 3 grams.

They fit securely on the bridge of your nose and come in magnification strengths from 1.0 to 2.5. I'd like a 3.0, but I can make do with 2.5. A must on my hikes if I want to see a map.

No more fumbling in my pocket or pouch for a bulky case that has to be opened. These are almost the epitome of simplicity.
