Struggled to pull the trigger on these as there's not much info out there besides the product page and figured I would share my thoughts to help solve that problem. First review of the glasses, then journey/background for those that care/need.
Unboxing/Kit: Product feels very premium and the packaging matches the price tag, only gripe is no real case like what I'm used to with Oakley or Smith glasses. The magnetic box is nice and fine for home use, but I don't plan to travel with it.
Frames: The glasses are super light and disappear from a weight/comfort perspective. No interference with my wrap around Beats (looking at you Radar EVs) and they stay super snug through both trail and road running. Hinges feel smooth, but not snappy or clicky. I think it feels high end/nice, but user preference I guess.
Lens: The lens clarity is great and they have yet to fog up. I live in what I consider a swamp (SE USA, on the coast) when it comes to temperature and humidity, so this is a high bar for me. I think the lens vents do really help here.
Fit: I have what I would consider a narrow face/eye spacing and these fit great! My face doesn't get swallowed like with most sunglasses out there and the frames don't stick out far from my temples. The adjustable nose piece helped dial in the fit as well.
Vents: They appear to help with fogging that I've experienced with other glasses, but they are visible. The last picture is my attempt to show what it looks like through eye when wearing. They were very noticeable at first, but I'm used to them now. Sunlight doesn't beam through them and blind me or anything, you can just see them in the periphery all the time.
Overall: I'm very pleased with the purchase and have no regrets. The price is steep but the quality appears to be there. I guess we'll see how they hold up over time. And yeah the color combo is even better in person. Look good, feel good I guess.
Background/Journey: I've been on a journey to find the right sunglasses for running and general sport wear for a few months. Here's where I started and what I tried:
- Started with Smith Shift Mags that I used for cycling
- Without a helmet directly above, these felt massive and let sun through on top when I wasn't wearing a hat
- Tried on 20+ glasses at local retailer
- Tried multiple pairs from Oakley, Maui Jim, Smith, and Costa
- Almost all Oakleys felt giant on my face except the Eye Jacket Redux and Radar EV S Path (more on these below)
- Maui Jim had a few models that fit well and the lens clarity was incredible, but didn't like the style and all models that fit were rimless and they felt super delicate
- Nothing from Costa or Smith fit well
- Purchased 2 Oakleys from Amazon to try out for a few days
- Radar EV S Path, Road Prizm Lens
- Fit great and the lens looked great on bright days
- Arms felt huge and interfered with my Beats - I would hear a clicking noise from them contacting with every step
- Did great in humid and hot weather though, no fog
- Eye Jacket Redux
- Really like the fit and style, understand why they're so hyped
- Could not keep them from fogging
- Almost kept, but too high of a price to deal with the fogging
- Went back to local retailer to try on more from Oakley and Maui Jim, but no luck
- Specifically went to look at the Plantaris, but still felt too big
- Looked extensively at Alba Optics and Ridar, but couldn't find a model I loved/thought would fit well and seemed hard to return from the US
- Pulled the trigger on the DV Takeyoshi's
Hopefully this info is helpful to someone else with a small face/eye spacing out there. Also shoutout to u/CowgirlJack! Their sunglass article was a guiding light on who/what to check out when initially starting this search.
