PowderedPurple assessment
Boss Boss 1496/S, colourway LOX/25 is identified from the SmartBuyGlasses South Africa listing. Frame shape and style are not specified in the supplied retailer data. Listed details: Plastic frame material, blue frame colour. The retailer lists the audience as men's; this label does not confirm fit. The listing gives lens width 55 mm; bridge width, temple length are not supplied, so the available numbers do not establish fit. Lens details recorded by the retailer: dark grey lens colour, listed as not polarised, UV category not listed. Verify the exact lens option and UV statement before purchase; tint and polarisation do not establish UV protection. These are listing facts, not hands-on findings: they do not establish fit, comfort, durability or optical performance. PowderedPurple has not worn or adjusted this frame. Check the exact variant, current availability, prescription options and return terms with the retailer.
Decision checks
- Only lens width 55 mm is listed; bridge and temple length are missing, so this record cannot be compared as a complete frame size.
- The listing says the lens is not polarised; compare that feature with your intended use rather than assuming lens tint provides UV protection.
- No UV filter category is recorded here. Confirm the exact lens protection with the retailer before wearing the sunglasses outdoors.
- Frame shape and style are absent from the supplied data, so this page cannot support a style or face-shape recommendation.
