Do you need eyewear when you ride? Sure. Sunglasses help make your eyes more comfortable by reducting brightness and glare. Even when it's not bright daylight, you still want glasses to protect your eyes from junk flying up and to keep them from drying out. And good glasses will help you even in low-light conditions.
But do you need a pair of $300 glasses to accomplish all this? Or can a pair of $7 cheapies from the gas station do it too? Perhaps, but the answer may well be found somewhere in the middle, and this is where eyewear maker Tifosi looks to find its market. We had the opportunity to try out their Tyrant model sunglasses recently and have the full scoop for you as to their worth.
Comments
The actual intent of sunglasses was to provide protection to eyes, however, they are now became more of a fashion accessory than they are a protective device.
snoop, I think that comment is misguided in the case of the Tifosi sunglasses (as it sounds a little derivise, the way you put it). They do a lot to help protect the eyes, and they actually are quite tremendous when riding (I’m an avid cycler). I found a good place to buy Tifosi sunglasses — and you’ll discover for yourself that this particular brand of sunglasses is more than mere fashion accessory — it is an essential when heading out on the trail!
