Review on X-TIGER UV Protected Polarized Sports Cycling Sunglasses with 5 Interchangeable Lenses for MTB Road Biking by Robert Rick

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Do not buy. Imitation/facsimile of real sports glasses protection.

I've written a lengthy account of how, with great effort and pain, one lens can be pulled out and the next lens put back in. Revain took it down because of my criticism of people's mental state, put it up for sale with many design flaws. i support it Once again I would like to say that I have been a professional bicycle mechanic, salesman and general mechanic for over forty years with an extensive history of interests/professions. I make custom frames and small parts and tools, not just for bikes. The best I can say about this questionable product is that you can ride the bumps of road handlebars and the top of the frame doesn't block your view. As long as a person has one of those elastic restraints behind their head. As soon as it pops out on one side or the other, absolutely straight skinny "ears". The frame of the glasses goes down and partially blocks the view. . . and it's inexpensive. UPDATE: OK, so I was ready to eat the crow. That means I found the included ear hooks. Long story; The first pair of glasses of this type I ordered were not from this company and they were lost on delivery. My old glasses eventually broke at the temple (after fifteen years of daily use) and I needed new ones immediately. When I found out my order was lost I ordered 2 more glasses from 2 different sellers, one of which was these X-Tigers. So I had some parts for more than one goggle and found these ear hooks fit X-Tigers. So I put them on for my commute today (the last half in the dark; with the lights on). No problem, right? To make sure they fit my face properly, I placed the adjustable sliding hooks in the front position/as close to my head as possible. No elastic limiter; Who needs this right? I have "adjustable" earwires! The ride is three and a half miles one way, on a road bike, downhill so I can use the brakes quickly. I probably pushed them higher over my face after they slipped down and blocked my view ten or twelve times in fifteen or twenty minutes along the way. Same thing, going back home, but funnier because it's dark and there's a black line in front of my eyes. The good news is you can see through the gap between the helmet and the X-Tigers upper. If I keep my head right So it's good, isn't it? Coming down a mountain pass here in Colorado during a downpour or a thunderstorm or a swarm of locusts if they hit you in the eye and then in the face. . . ah, good times to look forward to, all because of these wonderfully engineered X-Tigers. PS: Plastic ear hooks often have wire so they can be bent for a better fit. With X Tiger. . . uh dude uh
