Date Reviewed: July 3, 2009 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | the bike stand | | Strengths: | sturdy, wears well on the bike, protects well against wind and debris, lens tint works for shade as well as sun, has a cool sci fi look, | | Weaknesses: | large coverage area sometimes makes your brow sweat between the tops of the glasses and helmet, the rear security strap is nice but if you use it you can't take the glasses off without removing your helmet; to remove the strap you have to cut it. | | Similar Products Used: | optic nerve Banshee, Ryders sunglasses, various models, Bolle Turbulence, and older Oakley Blades, plus others... | | Bike Setup: | fixe dgear and single speed commuters, also geared road and mountain bikes. | | Bottom Line: | This is the first pair of Optic Nerves I got, before the Banshee. love em. They have held up to a lot fo use, as I am not so much a "weekend warrior" as a daily rider, commuting and longer rides (the "weekend warrior designation was simpyl the only one that ddin't reference racing). The glasses are distinct -- unlike the frameless Banshee or other such shield lense designs, these have large lenses scooped inside thick frames. They are almost like goggles (not because of the strap, but the lens fit) and they work well at what they do. For those who want lighter or less bulky glasses there are other choices, but these things are awesome. Well price, sturdy, and they won't be mistaken for anything else -- except a cyborg, maybe. Peripheral vision isn't the same as with some glasses, but not drastically impaired, and the fit is great for those who want a larger shade. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
