LePirate Belay Glasses 18-Jan-2016 At 7:33:49 PM mzkatonic

My pair of LePirates finally arrived last week! (4 months for delivery, they were ordered in September 2015)
They were broken though, it appears the prisms are attached to the frame by a dot of glue, so should be fairly easy to repair.

In trying to get the issue resolved, a representative of the seller did eventually respond after I sent them a link to my original post in this thread.
"I had an answer from Fany. Unlucky, you She says that another pair of glasses will be sent.
Let me know if that satisfied you because you wanted a refund.
I'm really sorry, more that 99% of packages arrive without issue, but when one doesn't they have a very slow reaction. "

The second pair arrived a few days after the first pair, these were ok (prisms still attached to the frame)
For the price, they are ok, they work.

BTW: I had actually given up on actually receiving the LePirate glasses and ordered the Y&Y Glasses in December, received those a few days after placing the order.
They sent me the plain ones $89.95 instead of the colour ones $99.95 which I ordered. I emailed them and they refunded the price difference promptly.

Comparing the two types:
The Y&Y glasses are much lighter and more comfortable to wear and the optics are far better quality. However they are (after converting USD to AUD) almost 3 times more expensive than the LePirate.

If I had to do it all again, I'd just go with the Y&Y
