Regular 198   WI |  Subject: RE: best glasses?I have the polarized Tifosi Ventoux, since I was looking for glasses that I could use everyday as "normal" sunglasses, in addition to biking/running. I like them a lot, especially for the price. I love my Rudy Project glasses, but they were twice as expensive as the Tifosi's. |

Extreme Veteran 607 Rochester, MN | Subject: RE: best glasses? I have a small/narrow face and use the Harrier model from here http://www.precisionsporteyewear.com Only $25. I first bought them at the Las Vegas Marathon expo and have since ordered online. Some friends have purchased from there as well and they like the models they bought. I also have some Tifosi Slips I won for a podium finish at a race. I use them biking but they are a little wider than I like so I don't use them for running. |

Elite 4108 Calgary,AB,Canada | Subject: RE: best glasses? iLivestrong - 2010-07-20 7:53 PM I get away with rocking Oakley Gascans, the cheapest of the Oakley line. They tend to slip a bit when you excessively sweat, but I dont mind it. I can clean my face easily enough. There may be a reason so many pro riders, a la Lance, wear Oakleys exclusively.  There is a reason...Sponsorship |

| Subject: RE: best glasses? Sam's Club Safety glasses. 6 pair for $12. If I drop them and they get run over by a car I can afford $2 to replace them. I save the Ray Ban, Revo, or Oakleys for when I'm not riding or running. |

| Lafayette, CO | Subject: RE: best glasses? I had a pair of Tifosi Strada and found they let in too much ambient light so I just recently went on the search for a new pair. I ended up with the Smith Pivlock 90s. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. They are frameless and I got the ones with 3 lenses (grey mirrored, ignitor and clear and they are very comfortable and cover my face well. The system makes changing the lenses out much easier than the Tifosi. Absolutely the best sunglasses I tried on. |

Expert 4634 Middle River, Maryland Silver member | Subject: RE: best glasses? JoeP138 - 2010-07-20 5:34 PM Anyone tried Tifosi? Yes, Tifosi SLIPs. Like the glasses, though after a 10k run race I was fiddling the lenses and frame and the lenses snapped in half. I called them and they charge $10 plus shipping both ways to file a warranty claim on $18 lenses. Nice warranty. Really do like the glasses though. Perfect fit, good coverage, light weight. |

Expert 1277 St. Paul, MN | Subject: RE: best glasses? After having two different pairs of half-frames break while changing lenses, I looked for some full frames with interchangeable lenses. I wound up getting Tifosi Torrents from a LBS. I am very happy with these. Yes, they fog up now and then, but rarely is it a problem. I think I paid between $50-$60 for them. A vent in the lenses might be nice, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair. |

| Extreme Veteran 1030 West Windsor, NJ | Subject: RE: best glasses? I have the Oakley half-jackets with the transition lenses (customized too). LOVE them. Absolutely best glasses I have ever worn. They are not cheap, but absolutely worth it. You can wear them in any conditions. They actually grip better the sweatier you get. And the optic clarity is fantastic. Probably cheaper alternatives out there, but put these on your wishlist. I have heard many people tout safety glasses as cheap alternatives...I would be concerned with UV protection, no? Those glasses arent really designed to block UV rays and that is a bit of a concern when you are in the blazing sun for hours at a time. And I love when people say "dont spend a lot on a pair of sunglasses as you will most likely lose them or break them at some point". Trust me..you won't. If you spend that kind of coin on something, you tend to keep track of them. |

Expert 1277 St. Paul, MN | Subject: RE: best glasses? Another word on my Tifosi Torrents. I took them off during my last race last year because it was raining really hard and I couldn't see anything. I put them in the back pocket of my race shirt. At the end of the race, I sat down and heard a crunch. At this point I'd only had the glasses for maybe a month. Instead of the frames being broken, though, the lens popped out and the frames were fine. |

| Extreme Veteran 409 Washington, Utah | Subject: RE: best glasses? I have a long history of breaking/losing every pair of sunglasses I have ever owned, so I have a hard time spending too much money on them. I'm currently wearing a pair of Champion half frames that I got for $15.99 at Target. Polarized lenses, don't slip, and they actually fit my big head comfortably. |

Veteran 283 Racine, WI | Subject: RE: best glasses? JoeP138 - 2010-07-20 4:34 PM Anyone tried Tifosi? I have the Tifosi Tyrant sunglasses (I've got a small noggin) and they are the best glasses I've ever owned. I also own a pair of Oakley Flak Jackets which are pretty nice, but for triathlon and running - nothing beats the Tifosi sunglasses. For $60 I got the glasses and two extra sets of lenses plus a hard and soft case. |
