Tifosi sent me the Crit sunglasses
with their Fototec (photocromatic) lenses.
They automatically change the tinting in response to changing light
conditions. In bright sunlight, the
lenses get darker (15.2% light transmission) and in lighter conditions, the
lenses lighten (47.7% light transmission).
It takes about 7-10 seconds for the sunglasses to fully transition, but
I never even notice the change. They are
perfect for running around dawn or dusk, which is when I do my long runs. I was able to leave the house when it was
sunny and get back when it was fairly dark and never had to take the sunglasses
off. They might not be quite dark enough
for the brightest of conditions, but are more than adequate in most situations,
even here in sunny California. They also
have vent ports at the top of the lenses which are awesome at eliminating
fogging and it keeps you a little cooler as well.
The frames
are made with TR90, which is an extremely durable nylon resin that prevents
breaking and stretching. The ear pads
are adjustable and so are the nose pads and come with a Hydrophillic coating
for a no-slip fit. The sunglasses in
general are extremely light weight and do not bounce when you run. They are made to fit people with medium to
large sized faces. The one thing I
didn’t like about the Seek FC last year was if I wanted to put the sunglasses
on top of my head, they were too loose and almost fell off. Not with the Crit though. They had no problem staying put. These are awesome for riding as well,
especially with the vents.
The Crit comes with
both a hard case as well as a soft microfiber bag. All Tifosi
products come with a lifetime warranty against manufacture defects.
Very light weight material (weighs only 31 grams)
The Fototec lenses are great for running and cycling in
variable lighting conditions
Awesome ventilation means no fogging

These are some awesome shades and the price is
excellent. These are my go-to cycling
lenses right now. It is really hot out
and I have never had an issue with fogging.
I would recommend getting these sunglasses, especially if you tend to
run in the morning or evening when lighting might change throughout your run. You can pick up a pair on Amazon
or at a store near your
(click here for locations).
These are a great pair of shades at a really good price. Check them out when you have a chance.
