    Tifosi Sunglasses

    Just purchased the Tifosi Tyrant, polarized, photochromatic, mocha color sunglasses from REI with my points. The glasses are only $89, and the lense is the quality of a $300 Maui Jim sunglass. I cycled over 50 miles with them this week, and hiked 20 miles with them. Absolutely unreal. They are crystal clear, and fit beautifully. So much better than my expensive Oakleys.

    I've been wearing Tifosis for quite a while, both on the bike and off.

    I second the assessment that they are great glasses. (used to wear Oakleys in the 1980's and 1990's, haven't had any since then, but I like the Tifosis better)

    The various smaller-face Tifosi sunglasses fit me perfectly.

    I too, have been wearing a pair of Tifosi sunglasses (the women's Slip w/High Speed Photochromic Red lens) for 2 seasons now and I LOVE them. I did take a look at those Tyrants, and I sure do like that "mocha/brown" frame and lens combo.

    I love brown lenses. They mock the Maui Jim ones, and these are so nice. Give them a try gals!

    I love tifosi sunglasses. I like the fotomatic type. (get darker in the sun). They are great for rides that start early or end late. I also second the "have styles to fit small faces" comments. I have a pair that are polarized but I can't read my watch or the cycle computer with them. The company really stands behind the product and will replace broken lenses.

    Dont' forget that TE sells Tifosi :-) - though can't blame you for using your REI funds for that -

    I love my red-tinted photochromatic lenses in the Gavia frame. I've worn them for 3ish years now.

    Perfect timing - I'm about to order a Rx pair of Tifosi's. I'm torn between the Alpe and Dzar. Anyone have any input on them? I tend to like bigger frames. These will be strictly for on the bike, and I'm getting them in a transitions lens so I can use them on rides that extend into the night.

    I have those exact same Tifosis and I love them. They are light enough for pre-dawn rides and when it gets light they get dark enough for bright sun. I also like how they don't fog up when I have to stop.

    I got mine at Zappos. When I was shopping for them, TE didn't have the polarized photochromatic lenses that i wanted.
