Tifosi Optics Slip Photochromic Sunglasses $69.9 Tifosi isn’t in the business of making cheap eyewear. Rather, when you’re wearing them it’s a challenge to distinguish their optical quality from that of glasses twice or three times the price. Their Slip Fototec model gives you a wide field of vision that’s totally distortion-free, and you’ll benefit from lenses that transition from light to dark automatically. You’ll think you’re wearing a pair of $200 shades.The High Speed Red Fototec Lenses are Tifosi’s darkest Fototec lenses. They’ll darken from 35 to 12% total light transmission in less than ten seconds. With these lenses, you’ll have clear vision in all light conditions during your training rides or races. You won’t be at the car fidgeting with lens when you should be at the start line getting ready to roll out.The Slip glasses are shaped so they fit the full range of face sizes. The frames are made with Grilamid TR-90 — a nylon with exceptional bendability, strength, and toughness against impact and UV damage. Not only are they virtually indestructible, but they are all-but-weightless, allowing the Slip to weigh in at an amazing 25g. Once you have them on they stay in place, too, thanks to their hydrophilic rubber adjustable temples and nose piece.Other Slip highlights include ventilated lenses for increased air flow and greater resistance to fogging. Tifosi also includes a carrying case and a Microfiber lens wipe. View Demo |

Oakley Jawbone Sunglasses – Photochromic Silver w/Dark Grey/Clear Black Iridium Transitions, One Size $260 When Slipstream picked up a title sponsor in Transitions eyewear, they also picked up Oakley as a sunglass sponsor. Nice score and great tag-team in terms of eye protection. The initial package put Transitions SOLFX treatment into Jawbone lenses. The Transitions technology added to Oakley’s lenses gives an extra dimension to their normal premium eye protection. Lenses that adjust to varying light conditions make sense. It’s not so much that you don’t have to fiddle with lenses before the ride, but that you don’t have to take off your glasses during the ride. This is a feature all cyclists, whether they ride on the road or in the dirt, can appreciate.To make the Transitions lenses respond to UV light, photochromic molecules are applied to the surface of the lens in a dye. When there’s no UV light, like when you are indoors, the molecules are naturally at an angle to one another, and the lens is at the lightest end of its shading. When UV rays hit the lens, the bond holding the molecules together breaks, turning them flat, and showing the tint. The lenses are the big deal with the Jawbone Transitions, but the Jawbone itself is still the amazing lightweight, strong frame with the distortion-free method of capturing the lenses in place. The Jawbone lens is clamped into place by the hinged jawbone on the lower part of the glasses. Oakley calls this Switchlock technology. Pull up the hinged nosepieces and the jawbones move freely. Open the jaw, take out the lens, and insert another. The clamp doesn’t exactly hold the lens. This is why the Jawbones do such a great job. The clamp retains the lens within the frame; the actual lens holding is accomplished by a soft liner inside the frame on which the lens rides. It’s a suspension system that allows the frame to flex a bit without distorting the lenses and your view.Oakley has done an impressive job to work their sizing magic; these should sit well, comfortably, securely, and protectively on most faces. |

How to Select the Best Sunglasses for Motorcycle Riding
When preparing to hit the open road on a motorcycle, selection of proper sunglasses is critical. Traveling at high speeds inevitably brings riders in contact with airborne irritants, such as dirt and debris, as well as other flying objects. And, if riding during the day, it is important to protect your eyes against the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and blinding glare. So how do you select the best sunglasses for motorcycling?
I use the following checklist when I recommend eyewear to patients that ride a motorcycle:
1. Frame Selection
2. Lens Material
3. Lens Color or Tint
First and foremost, the frame must fit properly. If a frame is too big, objects can get behind the lenses or the frame can be blown off your head. If a frame is too small, ventilation can be limited and lenses may fog up. I also like frames that have some face wrap. This helps keep the lenses close to the eyes and enhances aerodynamics. If you wear prescription glasses, the frame must be able to accomodate prescription lenses too.
Once a frame has been selected and properly fit, it is important to use a lens material that is impact resistant. I recommend polycarbonate lenses as they are lightweight and they are the safest material by industry standards. Do not use plastic or glass lenses as neither is impact resistant.
The final item on the checklist is the color of the lenses, more commonly referred to as the tint of the lenses. For daytime motorcycling, grey colored lenses are best for full sun conditions. Brown colored lenses are good in the sun and also enhance contrast on overcast days making them a good all-purpose choice. Polarization should be added to colored lenses to help minimize reflective glare.
For nighttime conditions, I recommend clear or yellow colored lenses. Dark colored lenses should not be used at night as they will decrease visibility. Photochromic lenses that change color in different lighting conditions can also be used for day- and nighttime. Lenses should also provide maximum ultraviolet (UV) protection.
Some of my favorite sunglass brands for motorcyclists is: Oakley, Wiley X Eyewear, and Liberty Sport.
