Strengths:Amazing. Super durable, resists scratches, looks sweet, Great fit, tint I had was awesome on bright days road biking and racing in darker woods.
Weaknesses:Almost nothing. Except when you are mountianbiking in rain and mud. The fog up slightly. I took them off to put in my back pocket when this happened during a race and I hit a bump and squeezed them super hard and broke them. threw em on the trail and kept racing. Gonna miss em.

Price Paid: $35.00
Purchased At:Pacific Eyes and Tees
Strengths:Light, very durable, lenses are bulletproof, fit is very good. They almost never fall off.
Weaknesses:None. I have had two pairs for almost 3 years now. These are the best Dragon has made. I have dropped them over 100 times-no scratches, no cracks nothing.
Similar Products Used:Oakley, Nike
Bike Setup:Beach Cruiser man
Bottom Line:Bottom line is I bought my pops and his old lady a pair each. They love them. They are like a red headed wife, you can abuse them and the still come back for more. No, seriously, these are the most durable sunglasses out there. And the style kicks ass. Still looks good after 3 years!! The MSRP is $70, PE&T's had them 50% off, so I got two!

Submitted by Andrew Mui a Weekend Warrior from San Bruno
Date Reviewed: June 2, 2000
Favorite Trail:Redwoods Regional Park
Duration Product Used:6 months
Strengths:Dragons are the BEST LOOKING glasses around. Relatively cheap too compared to Oakleys.
Weaknesses:NONE!!!!!!
Similar Products Used:Dragon Hiss
Oakley A-wires, E-wires
Bike Setup:GT Avalanche.
2000 XT
Marzocchi z.2 Alloy
Bottom Line:I lost a pair of these , actually some SOB stole 'em. I like them so much though that i decided to get another pair. I tried on the new Dragon Rakes. I'm thinking about getting those. Look similar to the twins, but have nose and ear pieces and lens vents!!! COMFORTABLE AS HELL!!!!!! The Twins don't fog up as much as other glasses, but the Rakes do a much better job (it should though).

I tried the new Oakleys, (the ones in MIP 2). My buddy has 'em. HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY!!!! XXXPEN$$$$IVE!!!!!! He paid $200 ON SALE!!!!! The Twins look better, light, and WAY CHEAPER!!!!! The lens quality is slightly better than the Twins (both models were polarized) but is almost triple the price!!! I'll stick with the Dragons. Even my buddy thought the lenses were about the same in quality.

BOTTOM LINE: DRAGONS ARE THE BEST GLASSES YOU CAN BUY!!!!!!!!!!
