      Comments about Tifosi Slip Sunglasses:

      I am on my second pair (1st pair stolen) and love these glasses. I have a large head and they fit great, no obstructions or cut off at the bottom of the lens. I am an avid golfer and the Fototec lenses are great reading the greens and tracking long drives into bad light. I also use them for Sailing (38' Sailboat), their great on the water, at dusk I can put in the clear lenses.MOST IMPORTANT - while playing softball, I popped a Quad and did a face plant while wearing these glasses. My right temple was very scratched and bruised, half of the right lens had very deep cuts and scratches. They did not break, and the frames were solid also; had the polycarbonate material not held up, I would have had an eyeful of it, and probably a scratched cornea or worse. I could not have asked for a product to perform better than these do, and at an affordable and reasonable price. One more thing, they are replacing the lens via a great warranty [...]

        Comments about Tifosi Slip Sunglasses:

        I use these glasses for road and MTB and love them! They provide great protection and coverage, but dont fog up or mess with my vision! The fototec lenses are great for all around uses and adapt to light changes well! So far the frames and lenses have been very durable and Ive even dropped them quite a few times and still no scratches on the lenses.

        Probably my favorite part of them is the customer service! Ive called them up a few times with questions about them and they've been really helpful. No automated voices, a real person picked up right away!

        No need to buy $100+ glasses, these have been better than any other brands Ive ever tried and Ive tried my fair share! They've won my support and Ill recommend them to everyone I can! Ill never own anything other than Tifosi!

          Have had a pair of these for over a year and love them (Wear them at least 4-5 workouts a week). Great sunglasses for both cycling (Mtn and road) and for running. very light, good coverage when riding (keeps dust/bugs out of eyes. Like these enough to have bought the Envys by the same company (also great)

          Comments about Tifosi Slip Sunglasses:

          I bought these for speed skating, and they worked pretty well. They're lightweight and look cool (first things that caught my eyes from the magasine I saw them in) and the price was right.As I was using them, I discovered when they're new, they fit really well (I've had them for 3yrs.) and work just like you expect. Very light weight, lenses are easily, and I do mean easily interchangeable. If you fall however, the lenses to a way of perpetually popping out. They provide good sun/wind coverage all the way around your face. They do over time get looser and looser (I'm now using Oakley half jackets and Radars) which doesn't help things so if you have a medium to small head, would say to look for another model that fits a smaller head. My fiancee who I have given them too likes them. She says they fit very loosely on her head, of course she has a smaller head than I. But besides the earsock pieces coming apart and turning yellow, and the nose pieces having fallen out (super glue them right when you buy them) they're great sunglasses. I bought the ones that have a blue frame and currently have the black lenses. They come in a nice, somewhat hard case and have a good cleaning cloth. Note I rarely ever ride a bike, I just chose that because I compete in skating and other things such as [@] Rally!!! and Subaru!!

          Comments about Tifosi Slip Sunglasses:

          bought the regular slip. the grey lens snapped at the "bridge" (where it crosses your schnozola). was using the (included) clear lenses at a race and the lenses just fell out of the frame on a straight-a-way on lap four. so, out of three lenses provided, only the rosie ones still remain. decided to give them another chance and bought the slip "fototec" changie-waingy from light to dark lense model. it's "ok", but lens is showing the same hair line cracks a cross the "birdge" area that the old pair did, so it's prolly only a matter of time until they snap in two as well. lesson learned. for the aggregate [$], i couldda bought something proper, or got like 20 pair from the truck stop, and still had enough left over for the gargantuan gulp.

          Comments about Tifosi Slip Sunglasses:

          Good value for cycling shads but the lenses crack very easily at the nose guard when changing lenses. Seems to be a common problem for this model. However, these shads are lightweight, fit well, look good and don't fog while riding. Note that the nose bridge is not adjustable. However, I was able to remove the lens and apply some gentle heat from a blow dryer to the nose guard to close the gap slightly for a better fit.

          Replacement Lens?

              Comments about Tifosi Slip Sunglasses:

              The mono-lens started developing cracks near the bridge of the nose. The lens finally cracked in "two" within three months of use. I didn't drop or abuse the lens. Can sweat cause cracking on the Tafosi Slip lens? I tried making the resulting two pieces of the singular lens work, but they constantly fell out of the frame while riding. At least REI has a 100% guarantee.

                  I have had these sunglasses for less than 90 days. I've taken good care of them and noticed today that there are 3 small cracks in the lens by the bridge of my nose. Great fit (for me) but they will soon be in the garbage once they break. As comparison, I have had 2 pairs of Rudy Project that together have lasted more than 6 years(in excess of 40000 miles on the bike).
