Awesome comfort and style
I just got these and wore them extensively over a 4 day period, out on the ocean, running, boating, and even in the water, as well as driving. They were great in every aspect for me. They did not slip or hit those uncomfortable pressure points. I did not have indentations on the side of my face as I used to get with other brands.These did not fog up at all. I was running in very hot and humid conditions and going in and out of AC environments. No fogging.The air vents on the lenses work quite well. I will say that they might work too well in some uses. For instance, boating, at high speeds on the front of the boat the air was pumping in fast. While the eyes were protected they would feel the air and get slightly dried out (I was wearing contacts too).Overall I have always loved Tifosi eyewear for it's looks, functionality, and durability. For the price you cannot beat them, and anything close is way more expensive and not worth it.

Great sunglasses
I have purchased 4 or 5 pairs of these by now. I really like the fototec lens, it is almost clear in normal light and gets plenty dark in full sun, so you can see in different lighting situations. I end up not wearing my other sun glasses with the dark lenses.

Dolomite Is It's Name and Effing Up The Elements Is Its Game
I wore these on a double century yesterday and they are quality glasses. Even on very steep, long descents I didn't find the wind issue to be a serious problem as others have stated. Yes, a bit of air does get in there but not enough to dry out my eyes. No issues for fogging up and performed well in the light rain I got near the top of Mt. Tamalpais. They stay on the nose comfortably and don't slip down, an issue I was having with my old pair of riding glasses. They also look cool. My problem with them is that I'm used to riding glasses that have larger frames. With these I was constantly aware that there are frames on the periphery that block lateral viewing to some extent. Will probably switch to darker lenses and use these as casual sunglasses because of that issue.

Great for cycling and trail running
Very comfortable and affordable glasses for sports. Not terribly stylish, but neither am I. The lenses adjust to the light, but they adjust slowly and don't get extremely dark. When cycling I want to retain a lot detail to keep an eye on road conditions, and these adjust in a way that removes the worst of the glare yet allows for good vision. They're also good for mid-light conditions like trail running or mountain biking. The nose pads can be adjusted, and I found the fit to be very comfortable. The vents do a good job of keeping fogging down. Never a problem while riding/running, but on some days they'll fog a little when stopped. This clears up quickly when I get going again. I've got a killer pair of Rudy's but I've been tending to use these because I don't have to worry about lens selection.

A combination of value, quality, and function make these tough to beat!
I've used these on roughly 20 bike commutes in low light, no light and wet conditions so far. I purchased these primarily for winter riding, both mtb and road. I've gone through many pairs of sunglasses both high end and gas station brands, and don't believe anti fog lenses actually exist. Having said that, these do come pretty close. They're well vented, and I only experience fog when I come to a stop after a hard session of pedaling and breathing hard, even then, they clear up pretty quickly. The adjustable nose piece is a nice feature which minimizes discomfort and red marks typically experienced with most sunglasses. I've found this allows you to gap them further or closer to your face, to either reduce fogging or increase protection. While the transition feature of going from clear to partially dark does work, the time it takes seems to be around half an hour with mine. However, for the price its nothing I'll complain about. I really like the ability to swap lenses, and at such an affordable price, I'll be doing so in the future.

but for road riding the peripheral vision is pretty bad--the vents on the sides of the lenses make ...
Too small, and I have a narrow face to begin with. I had the old Dolomite model and these seem smaller in terms of coverage...could be I'm not remembering correctly though...tossed the old ones some time ago. The temple to temple measurement seems real narrow compared to other Tifosi's i've bought. I can see maybe using these for mountain biking, but for road riding the peripheral vision is pretty bad--the vents on the sides of the lenses make it so your peripheral view to the left or right corners of your eyes is real distorted. Bummer...they look cool and the materials seem top notch, but just didn't work for me. Also the fototec lenses just don't get dark enough for using these in real sunny conditions. Again, probably better for mountain biking with lots of tree cover and the occasional sunshine peaking through.

Blue lenses are not included with the Pearl White frames
I have now received two pairs with the pearl white frames with lenses that do not match the description. Although the item description includes blue lenses, they are not part of the package. You do get clear, all condition red, and clarion red lenses. If you want the blue lenses you can purchase them separately.Misleading description aside, these are great sunglasses and the options are endless if you want to pay for other lenses.

Easy to interchange lenses, flexible yet sturdy
Love these shades, are such a good choice if you consider the price and the quality. I used to have one all the way back in 2015 and I lost it. However, I kept the extra pair of lenses and after almost 10 years I bought another one, and the old lenses still fit (not perfectly though). I think that just being able to still use them somehow is an amazing fact that some way or another gave me now 5 pairs of lenses to be used, which means that this time I intend to keep it for much longer. To conclude, definitely a good product, mostly for those who intend to use it for a bike ride as I do!
