Tifosi Optics Rail Sunglasses - Polarized Sports Sunglasses for Running, Cycling & Outdoor Activities - UV Protection & Lightweight Design

I don't normally write reviews, but I felt these sunglasses warranted one. I bought these glasses for cycling because I lost my Oakley Jawbreakers with prism lenses, and I did not want to spend $200+ on another pair. I still didn't want to sacrifice quality for price, and I learned about the Tifosi Rails on Clint Gibbs cycling youtube channel. I purchased the photochromatic version which I absolutely love because I don't need to change lenses or remove my glasses when the light starts to fade (they work great).I have ridden them a handful of times in sunny 75 degree weather with 50% humidity in Florida. Here are my thoughts:1. Airflow: Excellent airflow. It feels like the air just goes around the glasses to the point where it feels like I don't have them on. This is my first time using frameless glasses, and I think that has something to do with it along with the curve of the lens. The airflow is 100% better than my jaw breakers. I don't come back from a ride with my glasses covered in salt stains, they are just as clear as when I left. I have never had a pair of glasses where this is the case. Amazing.2. Lens Quality: They are very clear. I can not tell a difference between my old prism lenses and these. Can't comment on the longevity of them at this time, but out of the box it would seem spending 200+ for some Oakley's is a waste of money. I imagine as long as I take care of them they will last a long time. Of note, when I purchases these glasses I had read some reviews about glare, I did not find this to be the case in the lighting conditions I have ridden in.3. Arms: This is my only slight con. For my head shape, and the helmet I am using on my road bike they come in contact with the head brace in the back. For the majority of my ride its fine, but sometimes if I move a certain way it will bump my glasses forward slightly. Not so much that it is terribly annoying, but I think if they shortened the arms a bit it would be an improvement. With all that being said, I haven't had a pair of sunglasses I ride with yet that doesn't do this.4. Quality: In my opinion they feel like better quality than my Jaw Breakers. Jaw Breakers have very cheap feeling plastic. The plastic and rubber used on the Rails feels about as good a quality you can get for plastic.5. Price: At 80 bucks, you can't beat the price for a quality pair of sunglasses. I now realize that all these companies like Oakley, Costa, Rayban (I have owned all these), etc are royally ripping people off which can mostly be attributed to brand recognition and marketing. $80 is a fair price to me for quality glasses.Lastly, I compared these to my Jaw Breakers because those were the most expensive cycling glasses I have ever owned. I wouldn't have replaced them if I didn't lose them, but my aperture has been opened up showing that you can still get good cycling glasses that don't completely break the bank.I liked the way the Rail glasses looked and fit on their own. Unfortunately the arms extended too far beyond my ear so that they interfered with my Lazer Jackal Kinetic helmet. The Sledge Light model ended up working perfectly. The CLARION RED PHOTOCHROMIC LENS doesn't darken substantially but if great for all light conditions I encounter when cycling in Colorado, i.e. in and out of trees or long stretches in direct sunlight.Great style and function. Would recommendFirst off, they are photo sensitive and that's nice for me for driving. Second they cover the face pretty completely, also a plus for me. However, the basic lens tint is gray, not amber or even red as the name and photo indicate which would be my preference for drivers. The mirror coating is not nearly as dense or as red as the photo shows, it's more of a pale reddish gold. IMHO not really worth the $79 over a non-mirrored photo gray lens at half the price, but I already had them and they fit well, so decided done was better than perfect.I REALLY wanted to love these glasses. The fit and finish is absolutely top notch... you'll find nothing better or more comfortable through any high-end sunglass maker. The deal killer is the optics. The photochromatic lens is not sharp, has an insane amount of artifacts/ghosting in bright sunlight and the change between clear/tint is minimal. Tifosi came SO close to knocking this one out of the park but the poor optics are inexcusable at this price point. I'll be returning these....They are just what I've been looking for. The tint is perfect and they don't fog up. I added "StickTite" stick-on bifocals so I can read the bike computer.These are not sunglasses. They are more like clear $5 Walmart safety glasses. Don’t waste your money, they don’t provide any sunglasses performance what so ever. I also tried putting them in the Sun to see if they darkened and they did not. Back they go, crazy they ask $80 for this trash.I bought the fototec Rails and was excited to use them for mountain biking in and out of wooded singletrack. However, right when I put them on I noticed the clarity seemed subpar and found the lenses actually made glare worse. I realize they're not polarized, but vehicle headlights and reflections created lots of artifacts. Back they go.
