From sidewalk glare to windshield reflections, the Ventoux polarized sunglasses automatically adjust tint for dim, sunny and hazy conditions.

  • Polarized Fototec™ lenses automatically adjust tint according to light conditions, darkening in bright light and lighten when there's less light
  • Polarized lenses reduce 99% of visible glare from water, snow, sand and pavement for increased visual acuity and decreased eye strain
  • Lightweight and virtually shatterproof, polycarbonate lenses are 20 times more impact resistant than glass and one-third the weight
  • Grilamid™ TR90 lightweight nylon frames offer a consistent fit and flexibility in all temperatures and are extremely impact resistant
  • Hydrophilic rubber nosepiece and temple ends become tackier when wet for reliable grip during exercise and hot weather
  • Fits medium to large faces
  • Includes a protective case and cleaning cloth

Imported.

    Comments about Tifosi Ventoux Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses:

    I loved these glasses. Very lightweight, snug fit. Great vision. I love the lens color and clarity. The only problem is they scratch sooo easily. They dropped off my head onto the lawn and scratched. If you use your shirt to clean them, they scratch. It is so frustrating!

    Comments about Tifosi Ventoux Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses:

    Bought these yesterday hoping to find a pair to replace my Bolles, I have a dark pair and a light pair that I switch back and fourth for different lighting conditions. First the good, very comfortable for medium to small face, light weight, feel like good quality glasses, and look good. The problem I have is that they don't start out dark enough, even for evening driving, it's almost pointless to have them on. They don't get nearly dark enough, especially for full sun/into setting sun conditions, I found myself squinting and looking for the dark Bolles. The polarization is just ok, not like the Bolles which eliminate the glare and reflections off other car windows to the point that it looks as though there is no window at all, [$] So, I will be returning them and continuing my search. [$] Decent glasses for the right application, just not mine.
