from Elkader, IA Date Reviewed: August 4, 2008 Strengths: wow, that's all I can say about the super clear, easy on the eyes, high performance, polarized lenses from Kaenon. They do it right, function first. I'm sort of sunglasses buff and like to try different styles and do lots of research before buying glasses and these are the best quality I've ever seen. I like the 3 different lens sizes you can get to match your face and the different lens types depending on your usage. Very high quality. I've never had to squint in bright light in these even though you can see my eyes through the lenses when looking at me. I use the Copper 12 lens and it really makes things vibrant and enhances my depth perception. Great for driving too. Frames are nicely shaped and are super strong with lots of grippy rubber on the nosepiece and temple ends. Weaknesses: Okay, I can't read my cyclocomputer LCD because the polarized lenses filter that light out. I just look down underne ath the lenses that way I don't even have to move my head. They are expensive. Mirror coating on front of lenses can be scratched fairly easily so take care of them. Don't come in too many frame colors, but black is always cool. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: all of 'em Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: Bolle', Rudy Projects (love them too), Oakley, Arnet before they went had to change to Arnette, Maui Jim's, Ray Ban. Bike Setup: Two wheels and a frame!

I paddle in rough water with these and they never move and while im biking they dont hug the face like some glasses do so they do not fog. Weaknesses: none that i can think of.

from Bend, Oregon Date Reviewed: November 18, 2004 Strengths: -Fit -Lenses (Sick!) -Looks -Lightweight -Range of lenses sizes and tints/colors Weaknesses: -Pricey (but well worth it) -They never go on sale! I shopped around at many different dealers online and brick and mortar stores and waited patiently for a markdown. I got the same answer everywhere: Because of an agreement with the manufacturer, dealers are not allowed to put them on sale. Bummer. I would gladly pay more for them however Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything steep, wet, or white Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $180.00 Purchased At: Online at kaenon.com Similar Products Used: You name it, ive bought it.

from Pleasant Hill Ca. Date Reviewed: February 24, 2004 Strengths: Fit well on face. Do not slide or slip as most eyewear does. Top of lens fits just at the top of your brow so you have a larger field of vision. The top of of the Kaenon's do not touch the brow allowing for sweat to drip down the lens. Lenses are very abrasion resistant. They are very lightweight yet strong. Weaknesses: None... Well if anything cost... But that's not really a weakness. Sometimes the rubber earpiece came off, but they have since fixed that problem.

from san francisco, CA Date Reviewed: November 9, 2003 Strengths: Best lenses I've every had! Crystal-clear clarity, and the Copper 28 lens is very soothing, very good color-contrast (I also bought the Yellow-35 lens in the KURB frame which is terrific on the trails). Great wrap-around fit, big rubber nosepads and eartips force the frame to stay on my face no matter how bumpy the ride. No fogging. Weaknesses: NONE! I've paid a lot more for sunglasses that had far inferior lenses and frame fit.

from Denver, Colorado Date Reviewed: November 11, 2002 Strengths: Just read the other reviews. These things are just the best shades I have ever put over my eyes, period. I use the copper 12 lenses (large size), the darkest tint and they work great in all conditions, even cloudy skies or dark shadows. Shaded holes in the trail which always gave me problems are now easy to navigate through. I tried a lot of different cycling specific glasses before but the lense quality on these is so much better. I wore them skiing last week and that's what motivated me to write this review. Absolutely the best lenses I've ever tried on the white stuff, and I thought I'd tried them all after 25 years. Frames fit my head perfectly and are very lightweight. Weaknesses: I'm a cheapskate so the price was a bit high, although I've paid more for glasses (Maui Jim's etc.) that aren't nearly as good. I used to lose my sunglasses all the time, but I guard these with my life. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything steep and long Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $170.00 Purchased At: West Marine Similar Products Used: Maui Jim, Oakley, Brinko, Arnette, lots of others over the years Bike Setup: for another review

from Petaluma, Ca. Date Reviewed: October 30, 2002 Strengths: The first thing I noticed about my Kores was the fit and the weight, or lack there of. The Kore's fit was incredible, with the nose and ear pieces providing great stiction/stability while riding.I almost forgot that I had glasses on due to their weight and comfortable,yet stable, fit .The Copper 50 lenses work excellently in shadey/wooded conditions, providing a clarity that I've not been used to with other glasses. These are the best glasses that I've ever ridden in. Weaknesses: Interchangeable lenses would make these glasses even better.
