Smith PIVLock V90 Sunglasses

Item #SMI0678 | 8 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Lightweight, good visibility, but strange optics

By Ranked #2434 - Sunglasses November 5, 2009

I read a review of these in Bicycling magazine and they seemed like exactly what I was looking for. I went to my local bike shop and tried them on and was so excited to get them.

But the first day I wore them, I rode home in the dark with the clear lenses on and had a hard time seeing. I finally realized I was seeing double. When I got home, I examined all the lenses very carefully and they all exhibited the same behavior, but it was less noticeable in the darker lenses.

I took them back and got a refund.
