FixieBLAST Photochromic

These are fantastic—my go-to glasses whenever there’s even a hint of cloud cover. I love the unobstructed field of vision with no frame in sight, and the photochromatic tint adjusts well enough that they’re just as reliable on bright, sunny days. I use them for both racing and training, and they’ve been excellent in all conditions.

Nose guide is comfortable, good optical clarity, and feel lightweight on the face. Transitions to the darker tint quickly when going from light to dark. Great all-around shades for MTBing or offroad (trees -> open sky, etc.). There is some slight distortion when looking straight down (e.g., looking at your feet while walking) but it isn't in the field of view when on the bike.

Great sunglasses, high quality, stylish, fantastic clarity

If I could leave the no stars I would. For the amount of money that you pay ($150.00) for this style of glasses you would think they would actually work. Well, they don’t don’t be deceived into thinking they’re gonna turn shades on you. If anything, it’s almost as if it intensifies the sunlight due to the curvature of the lens. I purchased another style which are polarized, and those are awesome. The reason for this low review is the amount of money you pay for this type of classes and don’t receive. Also when I contacted them to set up a return, I would have to pay for my own shipping. They asked that I write down RMA numbers on the box when I sent this item back and that’s what made me realize the box that I received already had writing on it from before. Which tells me I received a used and returned item from someone else

Totally versatile, lighter weight, great for small-medium size faces.

OK, so I have a lot of Optic Nerve shades, and revel in having larger performance shields like the polarized Fixie line, and amazing casual options like the lifestyle styles, but I choose these guys most days.

Here’s why: if there’s any chance of variable lighting, like the sun may go in and out, or I am riding or running in the woods, then it’s utterly invaluable to have photochromatic lenses. Nuff said.

If you’re choosing between these and the Fixie PHENOMS, these are much lighter weight and have a slimmer profile, which can be clutch if you have a helmet that pushes large frames down. My faves!
