Strengths:
Look good; Fit nicely
Weaknesses:
Adaptalite doesn't work at all; Hard to clean; Expensive
Similar Products Used:
Smith; Dragon; Oakley; All with interchangable lenses.
Bike Setup:
Ti hardtail set up for all mountain. Cove G-spot also for all mountain.
Bottom Line:
These look and fit very nicely. They are good for low light conditions, but not as good as a clear lens. For bright conditions they don't work well at all. The Adaptalite technology just doesn't work. I was hoping for a pair of glasses that lived up to the hype, but these aren't them. If you want a pair of glasses for all conditions, you still need to use interchangable lenses. They aren't bad for a pair of glasses with amber lenses, but for $140 you can do better.

Strengths:
Can see in low light conditions(shadow). No scratches yet. Holding together. Fog up when stopped but will clear right up when you start moving. Stay on very well. Like the style.
Weaknesses:
Spendy. Don't really notice the adaptalight changing. Wouldn't buy these on their ability to change from dark to light. But I can see in low light with them and for that I would buy them. Doesn't come with any other lenses.
Similar Products Used:
Cheap glasses that break too soon. $30.00 and under.
Bottom Line:
This is the first time I have spent this much on glasses. It was hard for me to do so. They are tougher than anything I have tried. Fit snuggly. These are small around the lenses. You may want the Chicanes for a bigger viewing window. I like mine regardless. I got the loud yellow. Luv em'. Any glasses I have had fogged up. These will too when you stop. Clear up quickly as soon as you start moving. So fogging is a reality on glasses in the temps we ride. Not a deciding factor for me but they do vent well. 4 for value cause I don't like spending this kind of change on something I can easily lose.
