Looks good, feels good - IS good
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged, Versatile, photochromatic, fits most face types
"We run, cycle, MTB and kayak and realised I never notice they're on. I love that they're photochromatic and change tints with the light, great for when you're out and about in different light conditions. Not really made for sea sports as they smudge if you're trying to wipe off sea water but great for all landed sports. Love them!"

Great Sunglasses
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight
"Very comfortable, nose clamp very easy to adjust and comfortable. Nice packaging too so you can keep your sunglasses safe.
Best part is the 0-80% range so perfect for UK weather.
Snatched a pair with £20 off during recent valentine's sale.
Wiggles as always great, had expected stock 2 weeks later, sunglasses got delivered within 1 week with free shipping"

Pricy but worth it
Pros: Adjustable, Comfortable, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"I bought these after two pairs of sunglasses with interchangeable lenses had fallen apart in protest at my frequent lens-swapping, and fixed medium-tint sunglasses had just proved too dark a lot of the time.
The rather complicated name of the model I have bought is the Rudy Project Rydon Impact X Clear Sunglasses in Crystal with Red Tips and Pads (phew).
Rydon is Rudy Project's style name.
Impact X Clear describes the lenses - that means they are:
- "unbreakable" (the photo on the box shows them being hit with a hammer, so they're certainly tough)
- semi rigid ( there is a photo of them being squeezed nearly into a semi-circle)
- photochromic, going from "clear" (actually a 20% tint though it seems less) to a 78% grey tint. You can also buy Impact X Red and Golf photochromic models that look as though they start off with about a 50% tint, though I don't quite see the point of that
- polarised, so presumably they'll be good for checking out the laydees in the swimming pool.

- polarised, so presumably they'll be good for checking out the laydees in the swimming pool.
Crystal with Red Tips and Pads means that the main part of the frame is clear plastic (not white as it appears to be in Wiggle's photo), the arms start off grey then finish off with red grippy bits to go over your ears, and the nose pads are also red and even grippier. It's a combination that goes well with my mainly red cycling kit.
In use the glasses are excellent and do justify the rather extortionate price. In the grey rainy early morn they stayed clear (the 20% tint is only just noticeable), changing to a light grey shade as the day got established with cloudy conditions, tinting up to about 50% as a watery winter sun made its appearance, and then going almost clear again when the rain came back. These changes are gradual and subtle, just gently giving you a good tint level for the prevailing conditions. Good photochromic glasses are definitely the way forward for cycling. They stayed pretty well in place, even though I had the arms outside my skull cap, all of which seems to indicate that they'll be great for year-round and all-day-long use, especially long club rides and sportives where you need a stable and comfortable pair of glasses and you go through a lot of changing conditions in one ride.
I'll try to update this review when I've done a few more miles with them."

A very good piece of kit
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Comfortable and the transition from clear to filtered is so smooth you barely notice. My only con would be the price but they aren't as expensive as the similarly specc'd Oakleys."

good shades
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive
"comfy, lightweight and good looking glasses, photochromatic lenses work flawlessly except in sudden bright light to dark situations, where a little care is needed. They do sit abit further from the cheekbones than i'd prefer but this does help with fogging.
not cheap, but you'll grin when you put em on.."

Reet chuffed
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Reet chuffed wi my new bins.
In the past have always bought cheaper pairs and faffed changing lenses. This usually means that at some point you loose one.
These are great. They stay put, don't slide down you're nose, the lenses do exactly what they say, and change colour quickly and the quality and clarity is exceptional. You don't notice you've got them on they're so light.
I've been in touch with the supplier and got the insert so that I can add my prescription. They cost a further £70 to buy.
Pleasantly surprised and all considered an excellent product and looks good too."

Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"I was recommended these by a fellow cyclist. I have had previous glasses but was disappointed by the fit and the fact that I had to take them on and off with the varying light conditions. These are brilliant. Can put them on in the early mornings when it is stil dark and still wearing them at the end of the ride. I have been running in them as well. There is no slippage on the nose and you forget you are even wearing them. I know they seem expensive but they are worth every cent. Would have no hesitation in recommending them to either cyclists or runners"

日本人の顔にも合うし、格好いい
Pros: 耐久性, 良いバリュー, 快適さ, 丈夫さ, 高品質, 順応性
Cons: 高価格
"調光機能のないミラータイプも持っているのですが、長いトンネルや夜は怖いので、こちらの調光クリアも買いました。
Zero RH+などの軽量タイプのものと比べると若干重いですが、この製品のすばらしさはフィッティング可能だということです。完全な日本人顔のわたしにとって海外製のサングラスは不安なのですが、ノーズパッドやツルの部分が曲げられるため、ほとんどの日本人にフィットすると思います。おすすめです。"

Do yourself a favour - buy a pair
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
"These were my first pair of 'proper' riding sunglasses. I got the clear frames and the red trim. They look great, feel secure and not heavy on the nose.
You don't even notice the tint change from sun to shade but there is a constant level of visibility even if the llight conditions change quickly.
I haven't dropped them yet, but they feel strong."

Glasses? What Glasses?!
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
"I used to wear Rudy Project glasses with prescription lenses before, but the old model felt more like a pair of goggles. The Rudy Project Rydon Sunglasses together with clip-in presription lenses are so lightweight, I don't even feel them. My prescription lenses are a bit tricky, because I have amblyopia in one eye and I need multifocal lenses. The optometrist made sure to grind the lenses so that I have as much distance vision as possible, with just a small section for mid range to near distance. There is no peripheral distortion, since the inserts are not curved. It is just a little fiddly to remove the inserts for cleaning and to reinsert them without smudging them again."

Pros: Durable, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive
"These are very good glasses. With the Photo lenses you don't need to change lenses, and can wear them when setting off early when it is not light. They come with a good quality storage case, the only limitation is that they are not as dark as regular sun glasses in the full Aust sun. A good buy."
