Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$50.00
Purchased At:
Zim's Bike Shop
Strengths:
This seems a cycling oriented set of glasses as the bottom is very open with additional venting on top. They are large for my big face. But on the bike, I think they are excellent as the resist fogging and provide the visibility and protection "upward" where I need it.
Photo response is excellent. They get dark VERY fast.
Now if only someone could get 100% photo transmission so I could ride the same lense out at sundown and after I switch the lights on.
Weaknesses:
No soft pouch comes with the hard case.
Not good for whipping weeds in. The bottom is heavily vented and this does not make for good safety glasses.
Not the coolest looking. They look like safety glasses to me, doubly so in "clear" mode.
Similar Products Used:
Prologue CAT-1 eyewear from Performance. These came with an extra set of Amber (non photochromatic) lenses but no case.
Bike Setup:
Karate Monkey X-9/XT level build.
Bottom Line:
I like em, but they're not "cool looking" like the CAT-1s. But if you like smaller frames, these glasses are not for you.
