Strengths: Inexpensive; Interchangeable lenses; Comes with storage caseWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: These glasses are great for all cycling purposes. I have been using them offroad for a year and have had no problems with them whatsoever. Another plus has been Performance's service. When the clear lenses got some minor scratches on them (riding at night a lot will do that), Performace sent me replacement lenses free of charge. For the price, these glasses cannot be beat.

Strengths: Amber lens: can't say enough about 'em. They are WONDERFUL for low-light; they actually amplify the lightWeaknesses: Don't fit me extremely well, but still good fitBottom Line: Wonderful, cheap glasses, with great interchangable lenses. Better for road than off-road. They stay on great, and do everything glasses are supposed to. I don't think they look any worse than "regular" cycling sunglasses...
Better value than overall rating, still, i'd buy these again, especially since performance lowered their price...
A good deal if i ever saw one

Strengths: Features, price, gray & amber included.Weaknesses: Don't come down low enough to keep mud out of eyes.
Low cool factor.Bottom Line: Not bad optics, slightly cheesy frames (but they don't look bad at normal conversation distance and they hang on fine), reasonable price, these pups are built for ridin', not stylin'. Unfortunatly they're pretty narrow (vertically), so they don't keep mud out of my eyes off-road. Maybe they'll fit your face better.
But it's not a total loss, they're darned good road glasses. I'll give'em 5 chilies value and 4 overall for the road, but for off-road (and this is *MTB*review) I'll have to knock'em down a few notches for the mud thing.

Strengths: Provides two lenses, the amber one working very well in shadier conditions.
Light, relatively stableWeaknesses: Looks a bit funkyBottom Line: These glasses are great, and relatively cheap as well, when they are compared to the other way more expensive models out there. They're nice and light, unobtrusive and do a great job of keeping junk out of my eyes. They also help keep my eyes moist, something critical for people who wear contacts.

Strengths:
Price, extra lensWeaknesses:
optical quality, maybeBottom Line: I wanted some cheap shields with amber lenses to keep branches out of my eyes in the early morning. These glasses are great- they don't fog up, and the amber lens is nice. Also, the temples have a non-slip coating which keeps them from slipping off my sweaty cranium. They don't give me headaches, so I suppose the quality of the lens is OK, and they were only $21. Spend more if you like, but these do the trick. 4 burnt bananas for value, they don't look as trick as the $100+ shields.
