Strengths:    You can interchange with different colors. You can also pull the lens for a little vent to keep your eyes moist. Noice piece is very adjustable. Doesn't fog up.

Weaknesses:    Its heavy especially compare to my specialize Chicane Eyewear? I already got lots of scratches on my lens?

Bottom Line:   
I was looking for a light weight road specific eyewear. I bought this because they looked pretty cool. Its on the heavy side sometimes I have to readjust the nose piece. The interchangeable and ventable lens are a nice tough? I already got scatches on my lens. But I heard that I can replace them with a small S+H fee? Overall I do like this frame although its too heavy for road specific glasses.

Bottom Line:   
These are my favorite cycling accessory, ever. The nose piece and temples are highly adjustable. The lenses keep out the wind, rain, and road grit. The glasses do not fog up. The prescription inserts are unobtrusive and work very well.

Strengths:    Hold up well - scratch resistant
Good coverage - protect from wind.
Rarely fog up unless I'm totally overheated.
Comfortable and flex to fit face shape.


Weaknesses:    None, except they're so good I can't justify replacing them with a newer model.

Bottom Line:   
When I bought these glasses I thought they were too expensive. But after three years and thousands of miles, I was wrong. I have dropped them several times with no scratches. The lenses are as clear as the day I purchased them. The frames have some wear, but are still in very good shape. I used to go through one or two pair of (relatively) cheap poycarbonite lenses a season.

Strengths:    replaceable lens
light and comfortable fit
vent control system
anti scratch and durable lens
very cool look


Weaknesses:    lens is fit too tight to open the vent
difficult to take the lens off
price is bit too steep! But these are just superficial stuff!


Bottom Line:   
I also find it difficult to look for a sunglass to fit. I finally found a perfect eyewear! The adjustable nosepiece comfortably fit my nose bridge. The ear stem is also very adjustable! The innovative vent control lets more air (open vent on top of lens) for hot days! I dropped the glasses several times with no sign of scratches to the lens! Interchangable lens make this very functional for various light conditions! Very functional and comfortable sport specific eyewear!
