Great lense, great price

By Backcountry.com Employee June 24, 2010

I picked these up to mountain bike in. I'd rather not wear racer-looking stuff, ya know? I love how clean the view is through the lenses and how tough they are. I lost 'em (crashed) on my first ride and they bounced hard off some roots. Not a scratch. They don't fit my head perfectly, they kind of want to push off of my face somewhat. I think that the arms start to wrap just a little too soon for my face and it forces them to hit on a spot more forward than the top/rear of my ear. It's real close though, so a croakie type thing will likely help out. They compare very much to the Smith Outlaw as far as styling goes, with the Outlaw being a bit of a better fit for me.
