Strengths:
Good fit, lenses provide clear optics, lightweight

No amber lenses

Bottom Line:
I've use these for both road and mountain biking and never had the loose lens issue mentioned by the previous posters. The lenses fit quite snug and the glasses fit very comfortably. My one complaint is that when you buy multi-lens glasses, it should come with clear, amber, and dark lenses. The came with dark gray (very dark), dark blue (lighter, but too dark for overcast days), and clear. No amber lenses are available to purchase either. Bummer, otherwise a good pair of glasses.

Strengths:
It fits well on my small nosed, wide cheek boned face b/c unlike most multi-lens full framed sunglasses, these have adjustable nose pads. I also really like the AC Red lenses, but I tend to prefer less tint.
Weaknesses:
As the previous reviewer noted, the lenses are not very secure. I've never had them pop out for no reason, but I wouldn't recommend them for activities where they'll get bumped. I got them for driving and walking around, so it's not a problem for me.

Bottom Line:
Great for hanging out, but not for intense activity.

Strengths:
Cool looking, vented, fits snug, but not enough to make up for weaknesses . . . see next
Weaknesses:
Lenses fall out. I've had people at the LBS put them in, they only fit in one way, they are in correctly . . . but alas they still fall out. That's all you need to know.

Who cares? This is a Eyewear review.
Bottom Line:
Keep your receipt so you can return. Better yet, go with something else.
