I would skip rock bros, I tried them and they are built as cheaply as they cost.
Bought these looking for a deal. Small fit. Couldn’t wear them so can’t say much on quality or longevity. If you have a small face/nose they may be alright. I ended up getting some Tifossi ones. About twice as much as these but still way cheaper than name brands. Very happy with them.
A bit more expensive, but check out Tifosi. I’ve been rocking the Sledge Lite for quite a while and really like them. I’ve tried cheaper glasses in the past and they always break or scratch too easily.
Not good. Fit is small and the auto lense is extremely slow to lighten/ darken. You get what you pay for.
I have them. I picked them up as an affordable alternative as I worry about losing and breaking them.
If these break on a ride im only out a little money
Can’t comment on either specifically. I have these: [https://rockbrosbike.us/products/rockbros-polarized-sunglasses-uv-protection-for-women-men-cycling?variant=44552455979060](https://rockbrosbike.us/products/rockbros-polarized-sunglasses-uv-protection-for-women-men-cycling?variant=44552455979060) and think they are excellent. I’ve had them for about 4 years or more as a road bike and commuting option. They punch way higher than their price tag.
I have the ones with interchangeable lenses. I bought them to save money while i decided whether or not i would get enough use out of cycling glasses to justify the cost of more expensive shades. Theyre great – pretty comfortable and i think ive had them two years now
I would suggest any of the Tifosi color change lenses, they work really well for me and after I broke a pair it was only $15 to her a replacement pair.
Personally can’t stand photochromic lenses, always preferred switching out lenses if needed but 99% of the time just use the clear ones. Just recently upgraded shitty Amazon ones for some high quality shimano glasses and I’m very happy with them https://a.co/d/0if5q7lq
Spend a little more and get Tifosi photochromic. I can’t the difference between them and my $350 Julbo photochromic.
I have these ( the ones on the second picture) been using them for over 2 years. Solid eyewear
Tifosi. Good prices, can get them on numerous glasses for even better deals, plus replacement parts are easy to get. Nose pieces, ear socks, arms, and numerous gradients and types of lenses.
Tifosi makes a very quality product for a low price. More than the Rockbros but the quality is worth it. Half the price of my Smiths and hard to notice a difference
I have the ones in the 2nd pic, I like them.
I’ve got some Rudy’s I’m a big fan of. Love their lenses and Photochromics works the way it should, I can go under an underpass and within a second or two they’ve lightened. Really excel on the photochromic end of the spectrum.
I have he first pair. Absolutely fine for the price. A little uncomfortable/tight at first but I got used to them. I have a pair of Shadyrays I wear most rides and they have free replacements if broken. But throw on the Rockbros if it’s raining or cloudy.
I bought these two seasons ago because it was a cheap way to see if I could get along with glasses. I’m still wearing them. There’s probably better out there but they do the trick. Best thing I can say is I hardly know they’re there except for when they stop something from slapping me in the eye.
I REALLY like my Glade photochromic lenses.
