HAWK HD Photochromic Sport Sunglasses

I have a low nose bridge so they kinda slope down my nose after running and looking down, they at least never slip off my face how hard I try although it can be annoying to readjust. I got the black ones and I still find I Squint when the sun is out so that isn't nice. Okay for myfirst running glasses, if they were on sale then I wouldn't complain.

I chose the black frame with green lens version, nonpolarized with 11% visible light transmission. The tint of the lens at first feels almost magenta, but your eyes adjust and the effect after a while is quite pleasant on bright sunny days. 11% isn't too dark for cloudy days, but if things get too dark for riding with these lenses, the included clear lens will provide protection. I used to bicycle commute all year, and in winter I always had to ride home in the dark, and with the cold temps in the upper Midwest, a clear lens was imperative. Your eyes will constantly tear up if you are trying to ride in cold weather without lenses protecting your eyes.

The lens is rather large compared to glasses of a few years ago, which is what I am replacing. They do cover more of my face, but that is the currently more popular style.

The matte finished frame of the glasses is the right width for my face, although the temples are rather long and when wearing these with a ball cap they pretty much have to sit on top of the hat or the hat will push the lenses up. Basically, these are best worn with a cycling helmet.

The green to blue mirror coating on the outside of the tinted lens is flawless. Overall, everything is really well made and measures up to top quality eyewear sold with big brand names. The case is a nice hardshell design that protect the glasses when not in use. A microfiber bag is included that protects the secondary lens or the glasses when not in the case. It also doubles as a lens cleaning cloth.

I am very happy with these glasses.
