Favorite Trail:
Big Bear Sky Chair
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$115.00
Purchased At:
Buena Park Bicycles
Strengths:
A super light frame, that stays put even when I'm dripping with sweat. They also have a great ventilation system, so they never get fogged up even when I'm over heating on a big climb. The transition style lens adjusts to sunlight as the ride turns from a bright sunny day, to a cloudy afternoon, and finally to low light of dusk. The tint is subtle enough to make your view of the trail super crisp and clean anytime of day.
Weaknesses:
If you ride with a baseball cap or super long brim & your head down the sun will not have a significant effect on the "Adaptalite" lenses.
Similar Products Used:
Von Zipper, Oakley, Liquor store cheapos
Bike Setup:
SX Trail II, E150 fork, SRAM X9, JUICY 5SL, etc. BTW ..if not XC or DH, does AM = Weekend Warrior?
Bottom Line:
Eye protection is a must, so I wanted to get the best bike specific glasses I could find. I also wanted something that had style, and could be worn off the trail as well.
