Love them but poor quality

I bought these at the beginning of summer to be my sailing, boating, on water glasses and loved every second wearing them. Unfortunately some coating has started to bubble around the edges and I am afraid that their days of numbered after one a few months. Pictures are hard to show the delaminating. Contact me please

Great Expectations - don't do the job

As an advid Sun Ski wearer I had my eyes on the Velo for a while. I cycle to work and ski/snowboard regularly. I was hoping the Velo would be an alternative to wearing goggles in flat light/overcast skys in the snow. Basically the amount of sun filtering/light attenuation is lacking. I feel like the rose color seems like it would work for night bike riding, but not any direct sunlight or even filtered sunlight. I was thinking about returning them for the amber lense, because they aren't doing their main job. I do like the wrap around style and the light weight fit. I also got complements on them at the winter wondergrass music festival. But I was wearing them in the evening and night, not during the day...

Hi there, the Velo Rose lens has a VLT of 65%, which is intended for overcast days, but perhaps not if you're extra sensitive to bright conditions. The Bronze lens with an Amber base has a VLT of 13.56% and will do a much better job keeping your eyes protected in bright semi cloudy conditions and during sunny days. For maximum protection we recommend the Slate lens, as it has a VLT of 10% and is best suited for the brightest days.

Buying a second pair. Simply the best.

I bought these 5 years ago and after much use and abuse, I am back to get another. Great for cycling, but I use them for everything, including as a hair band. These have a unique look and I get compliments all the time. “Ooo I love your shades!”

Amazing for Mountain Biking!

Bought these to replace other glasses I used for Mountain Biking. They are seriously the most perfect glasses. Super lightweight and the clearest lens I could ever dream of. No fogging and lens color was perfect and both low and bright light.

Great for mountain bikers!

I got these for mountain biking and they fit my face perfectly. I have a smaller face and most riding glasses swallow me up, but these look great and fit great.

Velo Vantastic!

I just returned from my first bike ride (3 + hours) with the Velo's and in one word, WOW! I purchased the black slate. Perfect amount of sunlight tint and the polarization is so noticeable compared to previous cycling specific shades. The fit is spot on. No pressure points. Very lightweight. The curve of the frames definitely assist in the blocking the side sunlight exposure. Very, very comfortable. The Velo is my 3rd pair of Sunski's in the past 6 years. My first pair are still awesome! I have been road cycling consistently over the past 40 years; with some amateur races and events sprinkled in. I have lost track of the total number of cycling specific "road" sunglasses I have purchased. Most last just one bike season. I have a feeling these will last and last. Sunski's customer for life!

really great fit

Have become my favorite sunnies to wear from sunski. I have a couple other pairs of sun skis and they just don't hold in place on my nose, slipping down occasionally with sweat and activity. these stay in place and I forget im wearing them. they don't vent as well as my other riding sunnies which have vents in the lenses, but do have great coverage and clarity. The lifetime warranty is worth the extra price, I've had issues with my other pairs and they help fix them really quickly.

They are fine

I’m a sunski fan, but the Velo aren’t my favorite pair from them. I bought a pair last week, and they are okay. The frame is not as comfortable as other sunski models or other “sport” sunglasses I’ve tried on. They also just don’t feel as high of quality as what I’ve come to expect from sunski despite the premium price tag. I’m undecided as to whether I’ll return them yet because they are fine and get the job door. They just aren’t quite as nice as what I expected.
