      Comments about Tifosi Wisp Photochromic Sunglasses:

      happened upon these great glasses in the REI Attic. Like other reviewers, I have a very small face and usually have to report to buying kids' glasses and hats. The Wisp glasses fit like custom-made, provide high-quality optics and protection, and look stylishly adult. The photochromic lenses are a big added bonus, since I'm often in changing light situations. I'm looking forward to wearing them for all of my outdoor pursuits.

      Comments about Tifosi Wisp Photochromic Sunglasses:

      The frames are awesome but I have an asian nose and high cheeks so it wasn't a perfect fit. I wish they were like Oakley's asian fit that come with an extra set of nose pieces that are a little longer for us flatter nosed people. I ride to work and the mornings are completely dark. The glasses work perfectly to shield the wind and debris in the morning and during my afternoon commute, they darken up as described. It would have fifth star if it had the extra nose pieces.

        Comments about Tifosi Wisp Photochromic Sunglasses:

        I have a preposterously small noggin for a 'forty-something' woman and finding sunglasses that fit me is next to impossible. These fit me right out of the box. Happiness! They have adjustable ear pieces and I made only the smallest of adjustments to make them fit perfectly. The Wisps are impossibly light weight and look good without looking like silly wrap-around cyber-man glasses. I can't wait to get out and run with them.

        I usually buy my sunglasses in the kids department and it can be hard to find 'adult looking' sunglasses when most of them feature cartoon characters and ill-fitting crooked ear pieces. Thankfully those days are over. I'll likely purchase an additional pair in the future.

          Comments about Tifosi Wisp Photochromic Sunglasses:

          These sunglasses are amazing! Lightweight and just the right fit. Went running a few times in them and have not encountered any issues with squinting due to the sun or sliding off when sweating. The contour view ability is great...most other sunglasses I am unable to tell the changes in terrain. I will definitely buy another pair of these glasses, just different style for other wear.

            These are by far the best sunglasses I have ever owned! The fit was perfect and did not slide aroud or pinch. I went running on an 85 degree, sunny day with absolutely no problems. The contrast ability was great since I ususally find myself tripping with other sunglasses because I can not see the terrain change very well. I will definitely get another pair in a different style/color! Great buy :)
