KAPVOE Photochromic Cycling Glasses Clear Mountain Bike Sunglasses K9408

I ride in Southern California and the lighting conditions on my ride range from intense sun to deep dark shaded roads. These help a lot in those conditions. While the glasses could definately darken more to protect against the intense sun, they also lighten up enough to really see road obstructions and defects when the going gets shady. Some reviewers feel they do not darken or darken enough, but I would not agree. They fit very well to my wider head shape, the frames do not interfere with side or down views, and do not touch my cheekbones like many other wrap around designed glasses do. I feel they work very, very well for road rides and they were very affordable as well, therefore, fit good, work good, good quality and are priced fair, together equals 5 stars in my view. You can definitely pay a lot more and get a lot less.

Wore them first day and loved them! Good fit with my regular glasses also on my face. So much better than regular sun glasses when in shady areas I was able to see better. But when needed they adequately protected my eyes from harsh sunlight. I know they will offer better overall eye protection than the sunglasses I was previously using. Early days but at this point I’m most pleased with this purchase especially for the reasonable price I paid.

First, I don't think I've ever had a pair of plastic lenses with quite this clarity/quality. Most "polycarbonate" lenses I've had, even expensive brands, have a little distortion or chromatic aberration. I expected that. Wow... these looked completely clear to my eye. These rival some glass sunglasses from top names!! How'd they do that for this price?? Maybe I just got a good copy, on a good run. I dunno, but I'm impressed. As others have said, these don't turn really dark. I generally like darker tint sunglasses. So I was ready to be let down. But again, surprised... they turn just dark enough I can comfortably see everything - from not wincing at bright highlights, to seeing what's in the shadows, somehow they nailed the exact amount or tint needed. I took them for a test run later in day. No clouds, riding right into sun, these made it comfortable - no squinting!! As i moved into some dense shade on narrow forest lined roads in the country, they lightened up and I could see perfectly. They are near 'perfect' in the range and changing of the tint. Basically the photochromatic change is absolutely perfect for my taste. Great at blocking wind - cruising in teens - 20mphs, I felt no wind on my eyes. At 40mph on some downhills, still no wind! Awesome! There is a little bit of air movement, though. It was a very humid day and zero fogging (temp upper 80s to 90 when I rode, but end of day so humidity increasing). All the regular sunglasses I wear when riding/running fog badly in similar conditions. So another win. Why 4 stars, not 5? First, I can't speak to how they'll wear or how long they'll last. They are fairly comfortable, but not perfectly. They are light, but still very noticeable in terms of weight. Also, you definitely notice the frame when wearing them - but I got used to it. They fit my nose okay, and after 1+hr ride, no soreness ... but not quiiiiite as comfortable as some expensive sunglasses I have. THe temples were not uncomfortable to me, but they did press just a tad ... if you have a big head, they might pinch. The temples being thicker plastic did get mashed a little under my helmet/helmet straps. And the style ... well ... I suspect I loo, pretty dorky. But I'm about performance not looks, so I'm fine with it. Okay, okay, these negatives are nit-picks ... if they changed those they would probably double the price. While i'm not quite ready to give a 5 star, for the price, these are awesome. I'd totally buy these again and highly recommend, esp for the price. I may even buy another pair to keep around for when I lose/break these. Sorta feel like they area "find" and I might not get so lucky again down the road.

Thanks KAPVOE I can now ride on cloudy days as well as sunny days too without needing different glasses. The photochomic effect is perfect. The glasses are very light weight and keep the wind from drying out my eyes. I'm definitely recommending these to any that's riding and will be buy more when needed.

I got these for cycling because regular sunglasses sit too low and the frame blocks my forward view. These seemed to have plentiful lens real estate. I wasn’t let down, they are perfect for cycling and the photochromic lenses seem to work pretty well. There are significant aberrations from car lights, but for the price, I’m not even caring about that. I’m not even sure aberration is the correct term, I’m honestly a bit dim. These look incredibly stupid and that makes them somehow better. Pure functionality. Love them. I’ve never even thought about wether it was too light or dark meaning that the protection level must be great. They are light on my face and I haven’t noticed them sliding down at all.

These are nice glasses for eye protection BUT!!! They don’t get dark enough for UV PROTECTION!!!!

So far these have worked great for mountain biking and are perfect for riding in the trees. The glasses are clear when it is dark out and gradually grow darker when it is sunny out and I have not had an issue with the sky being too bright. They do fog a little with a full face helmet but are much better at not fogging than my prior riding glasses. They are large so are not fashion sunglasses that you would just wear to look cool. But if you are riding/mountain biking you are cool anyways so who cares what people think

Living in Central Florida in a community in the middle of 5 lakes, I needed a pair of biking glasses that would 1) keep the bugs out of my eyes and off most of my face, and 2) have good peripheral sight lines. These glasses do both of these things, very well. The glasses are made of lightweight plastic and appear to be sturdy, so far. I am not rough on any item I own, so I might not be the best judge of durability, since I keep everything pristine. The glasses are not only lightweight and relatively strong, but they also are comfortable to wear. The nose piece is soft and there is a replaceable one as well. There is also a carrying case. [Original thoughts on Photochromic function] One of the things I was hoping was that the glasses would darken when the sun is up. Sadly, as others have mentioned, my glasses not once darkened, even when outside riding in bright Florida afternoon sun. This is not a deal breaker for me, as I generally am out of the house riding between 6:00 am and 6:30 am and back home before 8:00 am for work. However, it would be nice to have them darken, should I decide to ride in the afternoon more often. [UPDATE] After getting another pair of these glasses, they are indeed Photochromic and darkened. When the lenses darkened, I was still able to see everything clearly, barely noticing that the lenses had darkened. Perfect for the bright Florida sun. Because of the size of the glasses, the peripheral sight lines are not cut off, allowing almost full vision on the sides. This is also great for keeping the thousands of bugs out of my eyes and half my face, as I bike along the many Lake paths we have in our neighborhood. The glasses work perfectly for me and i use them daily...

good protection

I am an all-around bike dude: enduro MTB, road, fat, gravel and BMX. I spend a lot of money on my bikes and gear because I ride hard and a lot. I used to buy really expensive glasses, which I often forgot on my cars roof after the ride...or sat on by accident. So now, I still forget my glasses on my car's roof and occasionally sit on the glasses, but at the price point, I no longer cry! These work very well as described and adjust very well to light conditions in and out of the woods. They fit well within the opening of my POC helmet and sit well on my nose. There is no noticeable distortion for me. Great purchase which I may have to repeat once in a while;-)

The glasses do not turn dark when exposed to the sun. If you are looking to use it as sunglasses, this is not what you want to buy. But overall good quality and sturdy.

Hasta ahora van excelente! El diseño me gustó, venía todo completo y los lentes en si son MUY útiles. Los he probado hasta ahora de noche y en un día nublado. De noche estuvieron completamente claros y me permiten ir en la bici viendo bien y sin miedo a estrellarme con una rama que me saque un ojo. En día nublado si se obscurecieron lo suficiente para evitar la luz que encandila, pero no tanto como para no ver. Muy ligeros y cómodos.

Perfect. Clear and fits well
