A continuing multi-part series on Sunglasses – lens and style selection.
In this review, we wear tested KALIYADI classic sunglasses, specifically these two models: S22, S11.
KALIYADI Matte Finish Sunglasses S22
The KALIYADI Matte Finish Sunglasses S22 are a versatile and affordable option for those seeking quality sunglasses.
Design and Style
These sunglasses feature a sleek, matte finish that gives them a modern and understated look. The design is unisex, suitable for both men and women. The matte finish not only looks stylish but also helps to reduce fingerprints and smudges, keeping the sunglasses looking clean.
Lens Quality
The KALIYADI S22 comes with polarized lenses, which is a significant advantage. Polarized lenses help reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, or roads. This means clearer vision and less eye strain, especially useful for activities like driving or outdoor sports. The lenses also offer UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful sun rays.
Comfort and Fit
KALIYADI sunglasses are lightweight and comfortable for extended wear. The KALIYADI S22 fits perfectly for my face (can’t say that for a LOT of other sunglasses) – snug, comfortable, and does not slide off the bridge of my nose.
Durability
The matte finish help resist minor scratches. However, as with most affordable sunglasses, they may not be as robust as high-end models.
Value for Money
One of the standout features of any KALIYADI product is its value proposition – you get three pairs of sunglasses. This is incredibly convenient as it allows you to keep a pair in various locations (car, gym bag, home) or share with family members.
Versatility
The neutral design and color options make these sunglasses versatile for various occasions. They could work well for casual everyday wear, driving, or light sports activities.
Color Options
The KALIYADI S22 model comes in several color combinations, including black frames with black lenses, black frame with blue lenses, and black frame with silver lenses. This variety allows customers to choose a style that best suits their preferences.
Overall Impression
The KALIYADI Matte Finish Sunglasses S22 offers excellent value for the money. They combine functional features like polarized lenses and UV protection with a stylish matte design, all at an affordable price point. These sunglasses seem well-suited for those looking for an affordable, versatile option for everyday wear or as backup pairs. They’re likely to appeal to budget-conscious consumers who don’t want to worry about losing or damaging expensive sunglasses but still want decent quality and style. While they may not have all the features of high-end sunglasses, the KALIYADI S22 model seems to offer a good balance of style, functionality, and affordability, making them a solid choice for many consumers.

What is difference between the KALIYADI S22 and S11 models?
There are a few differences including:
- Frame Front Shape – The S22 has a matte finish design (reduces fingerprints) that is less rectangular whereas the S11 has a classic rectangular design (sleek, modern).
- Temple (Arm) – The S22 has a smooth, matte finish that complements the overall sleek look and ensures a comfortable fit. The S11 has a more classic, thicker, traditional temple design with a subtle curve that provides a snug fit around the ears.
- Hinge – The S22 model has a solid metal hinge that open and close smoothly. The S11 model has an adjustable metal hinge with a triangle design and won’t loosen with long term use.
