I bought these glasses on Steep and Cheap (part of BC) for biking and climbing, and with one(ish) exception they've been fantastic.
Pros: Excellent lenses and half-frame provide a perfect viewing area for me, and don't get in the way while I'm trying to look down and make a clip or find my waterbottle. Unobtainium padding and sprung hinges mean these do stay on my face, and also mean that I can move the glasses a little forward on the bridge of my nose to avoid the upper frame touching my eyebrows and steaming up. And, they're awfully stylish...
Cons: Despite the "Ultra-light!!!!" tag line, these do have a lot of metal above the bridge of the nose. Also, the sprung hinges are a mixed blessing. For my average-sized head, the hinges pull in strongly (which is why they stay on so well!). Both of these mean I can only wear these glasses for a few hours before my temples and nose start to feel a bit sore.
...which is a shame really, because otherwise I'd pretty much live in them.
