I have been looking at buying a pair of either the Tifosi Kilo or the Quam 2.5.

Does anyone use either of these or have any thoughts about them or Tifosi overall?

I have some, the slip, and I love them! Granted, they are my first pair of sports sunglasses, but I think they are great, very lightweight and comfortable. I trained with them and raced my first tri with them-no problems at all.
I would recommend them. Also I ordered from trisports.com-very good service!

I've had the Quam 2.5 for a few months now..(the one's for people with big craniums) I try and only wear them on the bike and keep them with my helmet so I don't loose them.

I like them a lot. I hadn't been a sunglasses wearer until I got my bike.

The main reason I got them was for the three sets of lenses, the adjustable nose piece and the case and cleaning cloth bag that comes with them.. also the price.. seemed like a really good deal for all that came with it (and I think it was)

They have some little vents that are supposed to keep air moving through but i'm not sure how well those work. They are pretty easy to change the lenses on once you figure it out.

I'll have them with me at Rivercities if you'd like to take a look at them and even borrow them for a ride.

I've also used them for running when it's really sunny out. They do a good job staying on my nose and not bouncing up and down like others I've had.

I tried on about 4 or 5 different tifosi models and they were the most comfortable to me.

I bought some Tifosi also.... light weight and they don't move out of position when I turn my head to look back while riding the bike.... I haven't had to change the lens' yet but It's nice to know I can

I also here they are almost indestructable.... but I haven't had the nerve to twist them up yet.

I have sunglass gremlins.  If I buy a pair of Oakleys, I'll lose them, step on them, or scratch then within a month.  If I buy a much less expensive pair of glasses, I'll keep them for years.

That's why I love the Tifosi Slips.  I now have about 6 pair.  I love the interchangable lenses and its great to have the clear lenses on cloudy days.  I loaned a pair to my boss one day on the golf course, and he loved 'em.  Suffice it to say, a brand new pair showed up in his office the following week (yes, that's called ass-kissin').

But, the glasses are great.

I bought the Quam 2.5 off of ebay for $25 dollars today.

I tried on some Kilos at my LBS, but I think the Quam 2.5 will suit me better.
