Italian Stallions

By Backcountry.com Alumni December 1, 2005

'For water addicts only' - "Italian Seahorses" just doesn't have the same ring, does it? While I've enjoyed using these out on the water (in which case the custom removable cord comes in handy), I have also put them to the test running on and off road. They aren’t the ultimate for aerobic (i.e. hot) activities; the close fit isn't meant to breathe heavily, but they are effective and versatile. Well placed nose and arm pads grip adequately without being too sticky. If you like the wraparound look, the Typhoon's smooooth style complements a high-quality “Made in Italy” pedigree. Seriously, these exude a solid, expensive character like few other sunglasses; most feel cheap and plasticky by comparison. I have both Silver and the matte Black (which I love with the brown lenses), and they both look and feel great. I love these glasses! NOTE: Although the Face Size recommendation says Medium to Large, these seem to fit medium and/or narrow faces best; the arms may pinch larger noggins.
