I love the look, the feel, the taste of it, the texture… oops, getting ahead of myself. Overall, I like the glasses, and the tint is automatic but, uh but… the tint isn’t major. It only slightly adjusts, just enough to take the edge off. I’ve used them driving a few times and they don’t get as dark as I’d like. Also no matter how dark they get, other people can always see your eyes. If I’m wearing sunglasses I don’t want my eyes to be seen, just a little pet peeve of mine. I’m probably going to keep them but get some of the regular BSGs too and keep the ATAs on the shelf for a rainy day, I mean less sunny day.

I have the Black Clear Fade/Grey ones. I like them a lot. They’re comfortable enough to stay on for most the day without hurting my ears or cramping my nose. Plus they fit my face really well and have that cool, old school, leather jackets and greased hair look. I use them when riding my motorcycle and even under the helmet they stay pretty comfortable. Haven’t had a chance to take them snowboarding yet, too cold, but I’m sure they’ll live up to their reputation. Just got the BSGs with auto-tint, love ‘em too.

Whether I’m camping, snowboarding, shooting, hiking, skateboarding, going to school or just going to spend the night with “her,” this pack does it all. I’ve even used it for a cross-state motorcycle ride and I never needed to readjust once. Its super technical, has a pocket for everything. It’s really comfortable even if carrying a snowboard; the straps hold the board tight so there’s not any leeway for it to swing around. All the straps are easily adjustable and in some cases stow able. I love this pack, I actually have last years model and I’ve used it for everything imaginable, even took it with me to Iraq. Just put it through the wash on ‘permanent press’ when I got back and it held together perfectly. Awesome!! They need 6 stars.
