Hello gamers, Racula here and welcome to another exciting XPN Gaming review. I had the pleasure of reviewing not one, not two, but three, yes three glasses from Gunnar's Kista collection.

Named after Nordic technology hubs, the Kista collection celebrates the key role of women in tech.

Women in tech play a crucial role in fostering innovation, driving economic growth and ensuring products, are more inclusive and user-friendly. Their diverse perspectives contribute to better problem-solving and decision-making, ultimately leading to more impactful technology advancements.

They also serve as role models and inspire others to pursue tech careers, promoting greater diversity and inclusion within the industry.

All three glasses may look similar to each other, as they are all in the same colour, but trust me when I say the styles of them are different from each other. So let's delve on in and a take a closer look at each of the glasses.

First up we have:

Gunnar's Elin

Elin represents the technology company, Microsoft, as they are functional, structured and productivity-oriented. The glasses have a slim full-rim rectangular Bayonetta-style frame crafted from premium engineered polymer frame material. It sports a saddle bridge, has multi-barrel hinges and with Gunnar lens technology, they help prevent digital eye strain and block blue light. It's available in two popular tints: Amber and Clear.

These beautiful frames come in three unique colourways: Plum Crystal, Onyx and Rose Tortoise.

They also come with a navy blue coloured microfiber pouch, to put the glasses in, can either be non-prescription or prescription glasses and have a 12 month warranty when purchased.

I love wearing the Elin one, it feels so comfortable to wear and look almost like my normal prescription glasses. They really seem to suit me a lot and in all honesty I can't fault them at all, I could wear these for hours on end without realising I still have them on, until someone tells me. I have even worn these whilst playing on console, on my main tv and had no problems.

My second pair of glasses I was given is...............

Gunnar's Ingrid

Ingrid represent the technology company Apple, as they are elegant, minimalist and refined tech-luxury.

Designed for comfort and style, Ingrid features a narrow cat-eye shape that adds a touch of sleek and sophistication, precision-engineered polymer frame material and are a versatile choice for everyday wear. Ingrid also comes with Gunnar lens technology, which help prevent digital eye strain and block blue light and is available in two popular tints: Amber and Clear.

Just like Elin, these glasses also come in three different colours: Onyx, Cocoa Fade Crystal and Pink Flower.

They also come with a navy blue coloured microfiber pouch, to put the glasses in, can either be non-prescription or prescription glasses and have a 12 month warranty when purchased.

What can I say about Gunnar's Ingrid glasses? Again another pair of superb glasses that I simply can't fault, I love them and the onyx colour they came in. I've enjoyed wearing them whilst playing games, writing up documents and watching streams on the pc.

My final pair of glasses I was given are......

Gunnar's Sofia

Sofia represents the technology company, Google, as they are creative, knowledge driven and modern-retro aesthetic.

Gunnar's Sofia glasses features a smart round frame with a charming twist of retro. Crafted from premium polymer frame material, these glasses features a keyhole bridge and sculpted nose pads for a snug fit. Also just like all other Gunnar glasses, Sofia comes with Gunnar lens technology, which help prevent digital eye strain and block blue light and is available in two popular tints: Amber and Clear.

Again, just Like Elin and Ingrid, Sofia comes in a choice of three colours: Onyx, Garnet Fade Crystal and Tortoise.

Just like the other's, Sofia also come with a navy blue coloured microfiber pouch, to put the glasses in, can either be non-prescription or prescription glasses and have a 12 month warranty when purchased.

Ahh Sofia, another superb pair of glasses from Gunnar, these ones really feel comfortable to wear and again, no faults or problems with them at all. I could wear these for hours on end without realising I still have them on, until someone tells me I still have them on.

Which Gunnar Glasses do I like best?

I really like all 3 Gunnar glasses, I find them all super comfy to wear, very practical and could see them being very suitable to wear in a work office, where computer's are used very often. My only little issue I have with them, is I do wish they had come in a nice glasses case, instead of just a microfibre pouch.

Out of all three of them, my favourite one's to wear are the Elin glasses. I suit those glasses a lot, they're also very much like the style of prescripted glasses that I wear, or supposed to. But in all honesty, I haven't worn them since I started wearing Gunnar Glasses. I am very grateful and feel honoured, for the opportunity to have reviewed these glasses and can't thank Gunnar enough for letting me review 3 glasses from the Kista collection.

Thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to take a moment to read this review, your support is always appreciated and means a lot to me.
