Board Stiff fans, you'll be hardly able to stop yourself from wearing Hard Wear. This sleek, stainless steel sequel features the same round shape and narrow size as the frame that came before it, but with a distinct genre shift. In short, if you love Board Stiff but are growing bored of acetate, Hard Wear is the wear for you.
Try Hard Wear on for size as hardy sunglasses for any manner of outdoor adventure, or as prescription glasses so you can actually see the presentation at your upcoming board meeting.

Here are the three standard sizes we offer at eyebobs. You will see there are distinct icons associated with each size. Each size is associated with the width of the frame itself.
N
Narrow
less than 130mm wide
A
Average
131mm to 139mm wide
W

Frame width is the primary way we determine fit. It’s the horizontal diameter of the entire frame width.
*Note that you won’t find this number on your glasses.

Reviews
I absolutely love these glasses!
"I absolutely love these glasses! They fit perfectly, feel lightweight yet sturdy, and are incredibly comfortable to wear all day. The style is modern and unique, and I've received so many compliments since I started wearing them. The quality is excellent, and the lenses are crystal clear. If you're looking for glasses that are both stylish and well-made, I highly recommend these. I'm so happy with my purchase!"

Lens problems
"I loved the frame but I had to return after one mis read of eye pupil distance measurements. That was fixed, but the progressive element in lens did not work for me even after an adjustment in EyeBob office."
— Paul P. (1/5)
Green Hard Wear readers fit like a dream!
"I like my new green Hard Wear readers very much. Sometimes the darker colors just look black in photos, but the Pine Green color is especially vibrant. I wear greens and teals often, so they're plenty of wear. The shape is similar to the Board Stiff style, but the Hard West nose piece sits on my bridge more comfortably. Another hit! Thanks, Eyebobs!"
— Enid O. (5/5)
These look wonderful
"This is my second pair, the first being the gray ones! I wish they had them in other colors like blue. Sturdy and fit to a T. I get complements all the time. And refer them to you Eyebobs, your the best."
— Kayla O. (5/5)
Best ever!
"I have several pairs of Eyebobs and this new frame is the best! It's classy and great for a narrow face. I have the same frame in plastic but the nose piece tends to slide - this version, with adjustable nose pieces fits like a charm!"
— Margaret K. (5/5)
Great update to the Board Stiff shape.
"Lighter weight and metal frame have a great feel and and the Burn Orange color pops."
— Van P. (5/5)
Lightweight & good quality
"I usually wear the acrylic frames, this is the first metal frame I’ve purchased. I like the shape and feel, very light. I think they’re a little on the wide side for my narrow face, but fit fairly well."
— Michelle C. (4/5)
Great quality!
"The frames and lens are sturdy and very well made. I like the color and the prescription spot in."
— Dona W. (5/5)
Not very impressed I have
"Not very impressed I have hard time wearing glasses and plastic is not as hard"
