Cons Not ideal for all helmets, can dig into larger head sizesRubber can catch hairLens quality is lacking, fit may be too small for someFrames in view, very bad glare in direct sunlightCheap frame and poor fit on multiple head shapes
Bottom Line With razor-sharp optics and full shield coverage, these multi-sport shades are the best pick in our lineupA great fitting wrap-around pair of glasses that fit like a glove and can be used for nearly any sportThis is our favorite lower-priced pair for extreme weather and bright reflectionsA nice pick for those looking to balance performance, style, and priceA unique blend of shield and wrap-around styles gives these glasses awesome coverage with good optics and a fresh look
