Strengths:    The crystals work very well and are very comfortable, you do not give yourself accounts that using these.Attention the frame broke without any motive

Weaknesses:    Attention ¡¡¡¡the frame broke without any motive ¡¡¡¡¡The frame is of metal and the weld became detached.I believe that it(he) was affected by the perspiration, incredibly for a lens of this price and brand(mark)

Bottom Line:   
The worse thing of everything was that I wrote to specialized an e-mail with photos to show them the perfect condition(state) of the lenses, enclosed, trying to make them see danger that might be, and after 20 e-mail I did not receive any response, alone I loved a simple :ok received thank you ¡¡ and at all, because I suppose that the guarantee expired, but really I am very disappointed of the brand.

Strengths:    Feather-light, stays on under heavy sweat, sits nice and tight on face

Weaknesses:    Expensive, Adaptalite isn't noticeable, expensive, did I mention expensive?

Bottom Line:   
As you can tell, I'm a bit of an Oakley fan and have a huge collection of their eyewear. This is my first non-Oakley purchase, and I thought Oakleys got ridiculously expensive.

I can't tell if the Adaptalite is really changing tints, but maybe that just means they're working that well. Specialized claims they darken to 17% light transmission, but they look lighter than Oakley G30 lenses. This is the "road" formulation, but it works pretty well on trails that go from bright to tree-covered. I wish the tinting was more noticeable and got darker. On the plus side, they are extremely comfortable and hold on very well. I have a freakishly wide head and these are the first glasses I've ever worn that didn't rub the side of my temples (the M-Frames and Half Jackets gave me headaches after 30 minutes of squeezing). I've had them on for hours and hours and never even noticed I was wearing them (only my non-riding Romeo 2s can make that claim).
