Strengths:
Good looking,fit good on head,you can set position on nose and side as well,all parts repleceable,good medium colour of the lenses(not too dark),not sweating so much when riding...
Weaknesses:
f#cking expensive...I've paid around 200usd in our shop,because I really liked them.After some time I broke one bend-no problem I replaced it(no probs with parts),but on third time I broke this bend and lost also one side-block with it.New one costs ~75usd.For that price I have new glasses...Next think-lens get scratched very soon,so after some time i had ice ring from my lens.

Hm...I had tons of glasses,but no idea brand :)
Bike Setup:
Lapierre Spicy at the moment
Bottom Line:
They're good glasses,but for price what I paid in shop I would expect higher quality of lenses and stiffer "bend"(broke it 3 times).I will never buy such a expensive glasses,I use to damage or lost them in some time...Now I have some from Blizzard and they're great(paid ~35usd).So middle rating just for price od glasses and parts.

3 months
Price Paid:
$250.00
Purchased At:
local adidas store
Strengths:
1) Really good look and fit. 2) The frame is stiff and ligth. 3) LST coating is very good (i have no problems with coating since i've been using them for 3 month only. i don't know) 4) Good Adidas service and variety of lens colors (i'm using LST Gold-Silver and orange-red in the dark) 5) Lens quality is really Austrian!
Weaknesses:
1) The lens is not polarized. 2) If not properly inserted (it's your problem :-)) -> lens may jump out of the frame (never had this kind of problem) 3) When looking down and riding a lot in the summer day -> sweat may drip to the inner side of the lens (the sweat keeper/ protector helps a bit). 4) Price is too big.
Bike Setup:
Corratec X-Vert Expert
Bottom Line:
Just go to your local Adidas shop and buy it!

I have always loved adidas products and now even more with their great support!! The local distributor was lame as a duck! Thx ADIDAS HQ!!

Duration Product Used:
2 Years
Price Paid:
$50.00
Purchased At:
Sister Co. Emp. Discout
Strengths:
Design Adjustability Comfort The lenses are great until they become opaque with scratches and coating delamination
Weaknesses:
Lens coating is short lived, but replacement lens are cheap if you know were to look.
As of late, the nose bridge will not stay in place b/c the tab that holds it in place is broken on one side.
Bottom Line:
Way too much $$ at retail prices. The lens coating WILL scratch no matter what and insect repellant will instantly destroy the coating as well.
