Avoid the Photochromic Lens

By Adam Lewis Ranked #392 - Sunglasses August 5, 2010

I have another pair of polarized Methods that I absolutely love, but I would not recommend the version with the photochromic lenses. The Methods are great because they stay securely on your head without pinching your dome and giving you a headache, even when running or mountain biking. In terms of looks, they strike a great balance between sporty and stylish.

I ended up returning mine because I was not impressed by speed at which the photochromic lenses changed shades in the sun. I wanted to use them for mountain biking where you are always going in and out of the shade but they always ended up being too light or too dark. If you plan to use these for variable light conditions I would recommend getting a rose colored lens instead.
