    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Price Paid: $270.00
    Purchased At:in germany
    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)
    Similar Products Used:rudy project , Julbo magic.
    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.

    Submitted by Bryant a Weekend Warrior from Alameda, CA, USA
    Date Reviewed: May 15, 2006
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $230.00
    Purchased At:Wheel Away Bikes, SJ, CA
    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?
    Similar Products Used:Oakley M-Frame, Oakley Zero, Oakley Half Jacket, Oakley Splice
    Bike Setup:Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert 120 (mostly stock)
    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).
