    i use these for driving , its means i can wear sunglasses and see my instruments,
    the only thing i would say is although they work, they are cheap and nasty, not the 79 quids worth

    I really like the bifocals at the bottom of the glasses that allows me to read my Garmin cycle computer but doesn’t interfere with my vision when I look at the road. Have fiddled around with sick-on lenses in the past and this is a great solution and is primarily the reason I went for these.
    They are also light weight and I haven’t had any fogging issues as there are tiny vents. They give good wide coverage as they are wrap-around.
    Looking forward to testing them in the upcoming winter months but so far so good.

    I had this type of cycling sunglasses before but this one is perfect for people like me who need bi-focal. It makes my life a lot easier.

    At 46, I started realizing that I cannot see close things anymore.
    This adds to my myopia, which I always had, and the combination can really be a pain in the back.
    While I will soon get multifocal lenses for work, they will of course privilege medium and short distance.
    But when on my bike I mainly need to see well far away things, with an occasional glance at my gps maps, speed and so forth.

    So I tried this glasses and I have to say that they do their work well.
    The little sections at the bottom of the lenses are what opticians call lunettes.
    They are small, but ideally placed for a quick glance at my handle bar while riding, and I can see my screens very clearly.
    I can wear them with my normal glasses on quite comfortably too, so I have clear vision at all important distances.

    For me, they keep things clear and defined up close between 20 and 100cm away (8 to 40 iches or so), which is quite ideal for cycling.
    The price is perhaps a bit high, but they come with a pretty good semi rigid case and they are unlikely to break easily, being very light weight. They do smudge easily with fingerprints though, but a cleaning cloth is provided.

    Thye are dark enough to be wron in high sun but not so dark that the occasional clouds create a problem. However, in very luminous conditions, they tend and kill details in shadows more than I would like.
    They work quite well, however I would not keep them as my only to see up close when cycling, because of course at at night they are not a great option.

    These glasses are lightweight but strong. The lenses are distortion free and the vari focal bit seems to match my prescription. They are comfortable to wear for a long ride and feel stable on my head.

    Currently they are priced at around 80, which is way too expensive in my opinion, but if the price comes down then they could be a good buy.

    “Long Story Short”

    You can leave your reading glasses at home when cycling, this pair will serve sunglasses and reading glasses in one package
    Good quality
    Very lightweight and comfortable

    Value for money 10 out of 10

    The built quality looks good. Nice design and looks beautiful. The glasses are very lightweight and comfortable while wearing it. The lens is clear. The bifocal or magnifying part is at lower area which is great for reading or checking phone.

    It stays stable on ears and does not move much while on bumpy terrain. Relaxing during the sunshine.

    The case is ok but not very sturdy. The price is expensive in my opinion.

    Nice and stylish cycling glasses

    Super practical LIGHTWEIGHT glasses that keep your eyes on the road instead of being knocked off course by the sun glare.

    These sunglasses are awesome, I love them and they are now my go to outdoor glasses that do not fog whilst I am under exertion.

    I ordered these glasses for my Dad who can’t read his phone without glasses.

    Well packaged inside bag and hard carrycase.

    Premium feel to these sunglasses, very strong and robust.

    Extremely well made, sporty modern design perfect for sunbathing by the pool or playing summer sports.

    Excellent lenses, I got +3 magnifying bifocals for my Dad and he says there are better than his prescription reading glasses at 4 times the prices.

    Very nice looking glasses, good value for money for Bifocals of this quality.

    Overall, these are really good summer Bifocals. Stylish sunglasses that are as good as they look.

    I would recommend this product.

    These glasses are great value, protect you from the sun and unlike others at the price you can request bifocals to varying strength.

    I have had an issue using regular cycling glasses as I am short sighted but having these, its like wearing my regular glasses.

    They are tinte and since I need to protect m eyes from the sun, the tint does an excellent job.

    Solid and comfortable to wear sunglasses. Nice modern shape and design. Fit me perfectly and are giving good protection from the sun. +1.0 bifocal lenses are working great. Enlarging just a bit to make it easier to read. Quite expensive but still recommended.

    OK

    I found these cycling glasses worked very well for me and, just by setting the glasses slightly lower down my nose, I was able to see ahead without any problem and then have clear vision for checking maps or reading directions without having to switch glasses as I normally would.

    They feel comfortable to wear once you have taken a short time to get used to the lenses and it is beneficial not to have any need to switch glasses to read the small print.

    They come in a semi-hard case that is up to withstanding most of the pressure of being packed in a bag and should ensure the glasses are not damaged when not being worn.

    Looking very good glasses, they feel well made, sit good on the head and nose.

    The area of the arms which are behind the ears isn’t rubbered. They don’t necessarily feel uncomfortable because of this, but I’d appreciate a layer of fine rubber there.

    The glasses are protecting well against small stones on the road and anything else plus against mosquitos.

    About magnifying feature – it only is magnifying in a small area at the bottom of the lens, shown in the video. For me it’s pretty enough to check stats on the bike and the phone which is fixed down, but for someone else it may not be enough.
    Saying this, I recommend to double check this before buying or still buying but to check them properly.

    I loved the idea of bifocal cycling glasses so ordered these. They’re a good fit and are pretty comfy on my face. The sunglasses work well as does the bottom magnified bit but I found them a bit off putting. When you’ve got them on and are cycling as they sit high on your face you end up looking through both parts at the same time so the bottom part of your view is blurred. You have to tilt your head down and look through the top half of the glasses which to be honest isn’t that comfy. Overall though they’re not bad.

    I have been wearing these glasses for cycling and think they are great. They are lightweight, comfortable and give a good field of view. On two of the hottest days of the year so far, they coped well with the bright conditions and there was no steaming up. The 1.0 magnification was a bonus for reading my Garmi

  18. bestleanmusclesupplementwix says:

    I ordered these sunglasses not expecting too much. Wearing them while driving a car makes me lift my head to read things up close straight ahead. But these are purpose-driven for cyclists (or runners) who are having difficulties reading small numbers on fitness watches and cyclocomputers. These are PERFECT for that application. They are small enough to not affect “regular” vision, but are just right for the smaller images that are seen almost straight down.
    Case is included, thats a plus and glasses are light and comfy.
    I hope they will last long.

    The lens on these cycling glasses are situated at the bottom of the glasses, so it’s ideal for viewing a screen if you use maps to navigate.

    The glasses themselves feel sturdy and fit snugly over the ears with minimal movement, even when on bumpy terrain.

    They come in a carry case, which I thought would offer a bit more protection, but it’s quite soft.

    All in all, they’re good cycling glasses, but overpriced in my opinion at 79.95, which was the cost at time of writing.

    I hope you found this review helpful.

    Good cycling glasses, but expensive.

    These sunglasses fall into the “I would never have believed it” category – these are true bifocals. So the majority of the sunglasses (which are wraparound and give great cover to your eyes) allow you to look forward normally, but if you glance down you meet up with the magnifying part of the lens and at 1.5 these are exactly right for me to read with. Ideal for the beach or just sat outside in the sun, I can get my reading done whilst having total sun protection, but of course these are also brilliant for cyclists who maybe need to read their phones or Garmin displays for finding the next turn on their route (it is also true for old fashioned maps!).
    I was very dubious until I tried them, but now I wouldn’t be without them!

    Great protective glasses for cyclists, and the +1.0 Magnification is very gentle on your eyes if you don’t have a proper prescription. They sit nicely over the ear, and don’t slide around or move off your face. They come with a nice protective case, but I was disappointed to see that they weren’t in a proper box, but rather a flimsy plastic bag. I would have thought for the price, the case would have been in a box at least. Minor quibble though.
