Tifosi Tyrant Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses
Great for running, biking and sailing, Tifosi Tyrant polarized photochromic sunglasses feature lenses that automatically adjust their tint, so you can perform without interruption.
- Polarized Fototec™ lenses automatically adjust tint according to light conditions; lenses darken 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
- Carbon frames feature smoke gray polarized Fototec lenses; smoke gray tint allows objects to be seen in their most natural state without color distortion
- Mocha frames feature brown polarized Fototec lenses; brown tint sharpens contrast and reduces eye fatigue, which is ideal for all-day watersports and driving
- Grilamid® TR90 lightweight nylon frames offer a consistent fit and flexibility in all temperatures and are extremely impact resistant
- Adjustable, hydrophilic rubber nosepieces and temple ends become tackier when wet for reliable grip during exercise and hot weather
- Ventilated lenses increase airflow to help eliminate fogging
- Fits small to medium faces
- Includes a semi-rigid carrying case and cleaning cloth
Imported.

Comments about Tifosi Tyrant Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses:
I bought them because I want glasses for driving AND that will protect me in bright sun and ideally on ski slopes as well. They have done really well for me (brown lenses) but I may end up getting the gray lenses as well.

Comments about Tifosi Tyrant Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses:
I like these sunglasses a lot! The lenses are high quality and the Photochromatic feature works great. These came with a hard case and a soft bag for transport. I have used them on both coasts in sun and snow. The lenses wrap around enough to provide protection from all angles.
My only issue with these is that they are VERY snug on my head. It can be a bit fatiguing after a while. My hat size is 7 1/2, so I don't have a huge noggin!!
Overall, I like these sunglasses. The construction is high quality and I would buy another pair.

Comments about Tifosi Tyrant Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses:
I looked at Smith, Oakley, and Native before a sales representative suggested the Tifosi Tyrannt. The problem I have with today's sunglasses designs is the low profile that when cycling I see over the top of the glasses. The Tifosi has an adjustable nose/bridge so one can adjust where the glasses sit. These glasses are half the price of Oakleys and are just as good in my opinion.

Comments about Tifosi Tyrant Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses:
I liked the price, and that these are comfortable and very versatile for cycyling, kayaking, hiking. They are comfortable and stay put very well. However, having had them several months now the lens quality is VERY poor. They scratch very easily and after awhile the lens itself appears to deteriorate with noticeable quality issues, where it appears the lens itself is warping. If they improve the lens quality these would be very good.

Comments about Tifosi Tyrant Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses:
I have been looking for the perfect sunglasses for cycling and running for years! I need the full coverage protection for cycling (and photochromic lenses...I'm not going to stop riding to change lenses) that work well with a helmet AND lightweight glasses that don't fog or move around when running. Before the Tyrant, I have worn two different pairs for each activity which has been extremely inconvenient when competing in triathlons. The nose piece is sturdy, yet adjustable and they are comfortable for long periods of time and don't move at all while running. I have a fairly small face and have struggled to find glasses that didn't slip around, fog up or give me headaches. But now I have! I LOVE these glasses and the fact that they are very reasonably priced for the great quality!

Comments about Tifosi Tyrant Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses:
Needed a new pair of riding glasses and the reviews on these were good so I nabbed them. These fit great as the the adjustable bridge really allows the frame to fit your face. Good ventilation and vision. Really like these.

Comments about Tifosi Tyrant Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses:
I was looking for some lightweight sunnglasses at a competitive price that I could use for cycling, hiking, and kayaking. For the price these fit the bill pretty nicely, although I was disappointed that the lenses scratch pretty easily. Also, as others have noted, the photochromic quality is very questionable, as I can hardly tell at all. Still, these are very lightweight and reliable for both road cycling & other uses. I wore for a week backpacking and hardly noticed them. Also nice for kayaking and canoing.
