from chapel hill, nc Date Reviewed: June 11, 2010 Strengths: This review is for the replacement nose pads. They are available but you need to use the right glue or they won't stay on! http://www.acehardwaresuperstore.com/loctite-all-plastics-super-glue-p-377.html?ref=42 loctite-all-plastics-super-glue works for me. As for the glasses themselves, they do the job and parts are replaceable. Best cheap Rx adaptable cycling glasses i've found. When the sunglass lenses themselves get scratched a new set is only $25.00. Weaknesses: Lenses are shaped ugly. I've actually taken to clipping them to a shape I like with a heavy-duty pair of scissors. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $50.00

from Australia Mate!!!!!!!! Date Reviewed: February 11, 2004 Strengths: Let see now. They give good vision with cool lense colours, thats about it. Weaknesses: Let me count the ways!! The nose and ear grips come off too easily, so easily its like they were designed to come off or something. And when you twist your head to look behind, the glasses lift off your face, didn't even think that was possible. That should be enough to discourage you from buying these sunnies. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: Rowe and Jarman Similar Products Used: Rudy Project Kerosene. These rock, except the copper on the nose pads is starting to show under the metallic finish.

from Ocala, Fl, USA Date Reviewed: October 19, 2003 Strengths: Nice that Bolle has realized that not everyone has 20/20 vision. The optional "prescription piece" is a good idea. Cost is fairly reasonable. Weaknesses: A lot, I have had two pair of these glasses in the past 3 years. My first pair needed to be replaced due to the rubber nose piece. and rubber on the arms breaking down. That I could kinda understand due to having used them for over 2 years. My second (and last) pair of the Bolles totally sucked. I broke two lenses, one of the gray. and one of the amber ones. Said lenses actually are weak at the edges where you insert them into the frames. the frames are way too flexy. I guess that is a necessity with the ability to swap lenses. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Santos Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $75.00 Purchased At: Mail order Similar Products Used: Bolle,other prescription type glasses (think Magnum P.I. style) Bike Setup: Schwin Homegrown Pro, XT,XTR, Easton bars, and seatpost. 22.5 lbs

from St. Louis Park, MN, USA Date Reviewed: May 17, 2003 Strengths: The lenses don't scratch easily which should make it easier to get a refund. Weaknesses: The lenses pop out far too easily when bouncing around. I lost both lenses 4 times and the right lense twice more on a 7 mile track. Frame is too flexible.

from San Antonio, TX, USA Date Reviewed: April 24, 2002 Strengths: Looks nice. Nothing more. Weaknesses: Prescription insert does not stay in place. Insert is too close to face. Lenses are extremely difficult to change and require too much flexing of the frame. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Ch'angwon City area trails in South Korea Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $160.00 Purchased At: Performance Bike Setup: I am retired from racing, but my 10-year old daughter races on a 14" Trek 6700.

from Boston, MA Date Reviewed: January 1, 2002 Strengths: Tough, high-quality lenses; comes with 4 sets of lenses (for different lighting conditions); rubberized parts (nose rest and ear wraps) are very grippy -- no problem staying on my face on very rocky/bumpy/sweaty rides; very light and tough. Weaknesses: Difficult to switch lenses (takes some considerable elbow grease); look a bit geeky (my initial thoughts, but hey they were on sale, and the pros far outweigh the geekiness factor) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Lynn Woods Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $70.00 Purchased At: Performancebike.com Similar Products Used: Bolle Edge, various Vuarnet sports glasses Bike Setup: Cdale F700 with good stuff

from Charlotte, NC Date Reviewed: September 28, 2001 Strengths: Lenses stay clear. Quick change-out. Light on your face. Nice fog removal from the wind and turbulence inside the frames. Weaknesses: The lens tends to pop out every once in a while during riding. This doesn't happen as a result of heavy drops, etc and is hard to explain. I'll be riding down the road and the lens will just drop out. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Poplar Tent Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: Rep gave them to me free Bike Setup: Trek 2002 8000 Stock, except for an XT front derailler
