Review: These are fantastic glasses, which work particularly well with the POC helmets. Crystal clear lenses - the difference from cheaper glasses is really noticeable. Also bought an additional set of (lighter) lenses, which are great for overcast days.

Review: Update: Finally found a reasonably priced, good alternative to these sunglasses - Smith Pivlock V2 Max. They still don't work with the eye garage, but they're short enough on the arms that they don't hit the back of the Poc Octal helmet. For less than $100 on Amazon, they're hard to beat. -------------------------------------- I really want to like these, and in some ways I do. They're great cycling sunglasses, but I'm not sure they're worth the high price. I own the POC Octal AVIP MIPS helmet, and I wanted a pair of sunglasses that match the helmets color and integrate with the "eye garage" I own 10+ pairs fairly high end sunglasses, mostly Vonzipper and Dragon Alliance. None of them seemed to really fit in the eye garage. A lot of them don't have raised nose pads, which leads to a lot of sweat forming on the lens. Most of them also have looped ends by the ears, so they don't fit into helmets well. The Pocs have a raised nose which I thought might keep sweat from forming around the nose piece. Pros The look stylish as far as cycling wear goes, in my opinion. I would not wear these walking down the street though. Comfortable to wear. The flexible nosepads are great Comes with two lenses. The clearish/purple lens work decently well at night if you have a good light. Changing the lenses is relatively simple Lens clarify it great. Can't really say if they're durable or not, I've been pretty careful thus far and don't want to test this. Cons I'm not confident in their ability to stay in the eye garage. They literally just dangle by the ends. I can't push them far enough back to lodge into the plastic pieces on the side of the helmet, because my head is in the way (not much I can do about that). Any sudden twist or movement can send the glasses flying, and that's probably going to scratch the lenses The fog up like crazy if you stop and it's humid/cold. I know this is hard to avoid, but it was just as bad as other glasses with less venting. On the plus side once you get moving again they clear up quickly. Having the raised nosepads does not help with sweat. After 30 minutes biking hard in hot weather, I can barely see out of these. Just as bad as other glasses I have in regards to this. I'm probably going to end up returning these....if these were my only sunglasses, maybe they'd be a good investment. They are no better or worse than other high end sunglasses, but there are cheaper options that are just as good, and some of the advertised features are not that great. I suppose if you want to do the all Poc look they're a must have.
