Tifosi Unisex Swick Single Lens Eyewear

Product Information

The BBB Avenger is futuristically styled, but it is not merely for show. You’ll notice the slight ventilation clearance between lens and frame, a deliberate design to avoid the annoyance of fogging. This is an elementary comfort feature for riders who are committed to venturing outdoors for their training in even the worst conditions. American brand Oakley have long led the way in innovative, top-quality sunglasses, and have a price-tag to match. One of their many new models is the Leffingwell, which comes with frames made from a plant-based plastic. The weight and dimensions of each pair, including how flat or wrapped around they are, measuring the linear distance from the nose bridge to a line between the rear edge of the lenses

Category 2 lenses let in between 18 and 43 per cent of light, and are usually coloured in slightly darker hues, meaning they are best for days where weather is intermittently sunny. Bollé are synonymous with top-notch optics in skiing, sailing, and for safety goggles. They have a huge amount of expertise in making high-quality lenses, and the Holman are no different. Another brand that has hundreds of styles to choose from, the Holman is one of the few styles they offer designed for sailing that float. The polarization did its job, cutting out 63% of the glare, and grey tinted lenses cut out 98.8% of our UV torch’s light – the 1.2% it did let through could well just be visible purple light. With 140g force to pull these glasses off, they aren’t the most secure, but also not the worst. Comfortable to wear, the flexible and robust nylon Grilamid TR90 frame has a seemingly basic design, but the arms and nose pads keep these lightweight sunnies firmly in place no matter what you’re doing, which earns them a place in our guide to the best sunglasses available at the moment for hiking and climbing.Better vision: Blue light can cause glare and impair our vision, especially when driving at night. Blue light glasses can help reduce glare and improve our vision in these situations. The nose and temple grips keep them securely in place, no matter how lumpy the landscape I’ve been running and riding over became, and for the most part they’ve been pretty comfortable to wear for reasonably long periods of time – the hydrophilic nose grips seem to pinch slightly after while, but this can be relieved by lifting the glasses momentarily. With a warm brown tint, they provided good definition with little distortion, and transmission of just 11%. The polarization was effective, cutting out 69% of reflected glare (a little shy of their claimed 80%). Given the price and strong all-round performance it’s hard to see how you could go wrong with these.

The bike is a Christmas present and so will not see any use for about 5 weeks as we are in November now. Non-mainland deliveries are subject to courier availability and capacity and may be liable to unforeseen delays. The polarization, in contrast, was more light-touch, with a further reduction of glare of just 58.2%. The frames offered a good degree of wraparound (26mm) without appearing too sporty, and leaning towards the narrower side, these were a more genuinely unisex style. Prescription lenses: If you wear prescription glasses, you will need a pair of sunglasses that can be fitted with prescription lenses.

John Muir's Letters Part 3: Self-Reliance

ULTRA LIGHT FRAME ➤ Light only 26 grams and durable Grilamid TR90. Features integrated hinge which never pulls hair, hydrophilic nose pads for increased gripping, and Tifosi Glide technology allows the frame to slide on comfortably and provide a no-slip fit These wraparound sports sunglasses are a different animal to the other Tifosi shades we tested, and have a higher price tag to reflect this, though still pretty reasonable. Half-lens frames mean that lenses can be swapped for different conditions, and vents prevent sweat up on hot days. The glasses have solid frames and a curved, face-hugging wraparound lens that mostly fills the field of vision. Peripheral vision at the sides is completely covered. The lenses have vents top and bottom and I found these to be very effective. Even on cold days, these glasses never misted up when I was moving. I occasionally got a little mist when I stopped at junctions after hard efforts on really cold days, but that cleared the instant I started to move again. The difference between a lightweight and 'heavy' pair of sunglasses is only a few grams, so unless you're going after the national hill climb championships, you probably won't need to worry about weight. Most sailors will opt for polarized sunglasses. If you haven’t tried them before and don’t know what the fuss is about, ask to try someone else’s next time you’re out on the water. Tip your head on one side to see what things look like with dark glasses, then look normally to see how much additional glare the polarization cuts out and you’ll be amazed.

How to choose the right cheap cycling sunglasses What should you prioritise and what can you compromise?Given the quality – and that they're currently available considerably below RRP – it's not hard to recommend the Tifosis for all-day riding. Verdict The force in grams required to pull the sunglasses from the wearer’s head, using luggage scale attached to the central nose bridge We researched other brands and found that they were appalling quality straight out of the box and often more expensive too. Category 0 lenses are either clear or have a very light tint, letting in between 80 and 100 per cent of light. They are best for night riding when light is already low. With hundreds of styles of polarized sunglasses for sailors out there, and many brands, there’s no shortage of choice. Not all are created equal, however, and if you’re going to be spending long hours on the water, then having shades that stay on your head, protect your peripheral vision, and cut out direct light and reflected glare is essential.
