| Quick Verdict: I’m always going to gush over a lightweight pair of GUNNAR glasses that fits on larger heads, looks good, and is compatible with the accessories included. The GUNNAR Campbell hits every mark laid out and can only be bested by similar frames at this point. |

I can’t stress enough that GUNNAR is always at its best when it’s trying new things under its own license. The GUNNAR Campbell is a prime example of what I mean, as the company has knocked it out of the park yet again.
What’s in the box?
If you’re familiar with GUNNAR glasses, you’re likely well-informed about what they come with and how they work. As always for higher-value frames, when you buy the GUNNAR Campbell, you’re going to get a branded microfiber cloth, microfiber pouch, and some sort of hard glasses case in the box with your glasses.
I wish they would have more than the usual black and gray, but there’s nothing wrong with them. The hard case is their triangular, collapsable case. While some GUNNAR frames don’t fit in this particular case very well when they’re included, I can confirm that the GUNNAR Campbell fits like a glove.
Tech in the Specs (or, Holding a Lens Up to These Glasses)
For those who are new to the GUNNAR brand, the lenses are always the main technology that they produce. The frame itself, such as the GUNNAR Campbell, is just there to show off the real science of the product.
GUNNAR lenses are resistant to glare, smudges, and water. They’re also 100% UV resistant. The company puts a primary focus on gaming and computer glasses, making them varying degrees of blue light blockers as well, depending on which lens you choose. Even though I don’t need glasses, I wear them, more often than not, to keep the wind out of my eyes and most pairs can help with that easily, including the GUNNAR Campbell.
Speaking of the lens, the Campbell comes in the 65 Amber and 20 Clear Pro, as well as multiple options in prescription. If you’re familiar with blue blockers at all, the 65 Amber is going to give you a yellow tinge to everything you look at but does a lot of heavy lifting to block that blue light.
However, my favorite lens style came out last year, called the 20 Clear Pro. As a massive upgrade from the original Clear lenses that GUNNAR had for years, it drops the yellow filter and how much it protects against blue light, but it protects in a more true-to-color style.
If you’re an artist or need access to true colors with medium contrast, Clear Pro is the way to go. I’ve said this in previous GUNNAR reviews, but if you can get your hands on a Clear Pro lens, it’s always worth it.
Wearing the GUNNAR Campbell glasses
When discussing comfort and style in GUNNAR glasses, it’s important to consider all sizes of heads. As someone with a big head, some of their frames can dig into my skin and skull, keeping me from being able to wear them for prolonged periods.
The GUNNAR Campbell has a flexible spring hinge, which allows the arms to be a little more compatible with my head’s size. I’ve been wearing these off and on for the review and they’re so comfortable that I’ve forgotten that I was wearing them at the time.
Speaking of my head’s size and shape, the GUNNAR Campbell offers a rounded look that would be easily compatible with a lot of people’s face shapes and needs.
The frame is made from a combo of stainless steel and acetate, lending to its durability and lack of weight. While it isn’t quite as light as the wooden Humboldt from the Arbor Collection that Clear Pro originated from, I wouldn’t say this pair is much more than that. But, it is slightly noticeable when comparing.
The bridge over the nose is a really nice look that feels unique, stylish, and modern without being outrageous or attracting unwanted attention.
Final Verdict
I’m going to just come out and say it: I have a lot of pairs of GUNNAR glasses that I have reviewed, but the GUNNAR Campbell might be among my favorites. The classy wooden Arbor Collection still might be my top option, but the Campbell is just under that.
You can find the GUNNAR Campbell on GUNNAR’s official website for $99. The frame comes in 65 Amber, 20 Clear Pro, or prescription options that open up an entire extra can of worms with the original 35 Clear or 98 Amber Max.
