    I recently started using a pair of Tifosi Sledge and have been fairly pleased. They fit my face/helmet relatively well, provide good coverage, and don't look overly douche (at least with a helmet on). Can't say I'm overly impressed with the anti-fogging they have. They are good when riding, but if you stop while all hot and sweaty they'll fog up. Truthfully I've never found a pair of sunglasses that were completely fog resistant. But I do live/ride in the humidity laden southeastern US and sweat like a stuck pig.

    Yes and no. My eyes are like magnets for bugs and dirt. I can stand still in my driveway for two minutes and have at least five bugs try to enter my skull through my eye socket…it’s nuts.

    Needless to say, the only time I ride without eye protection is if it’s raining and visibility through the lenses goes to trash.

    I love a yellow/amber lenses, or will use clear if need be. The yellow/amber is light enough tint to still provide good visibility in the shaded areas while still cutting out enough sunlight to eliminate squinting.

    Maui Jim sunglasses or Costco sunglasses (which are actually pretty good) OR amber geezer night driving glasses.
    Some bugs burn the eye and I hate getting all the legs and thoraxes and junk out of my eyes.

    I basically only wear Rokas now (running, biking, driving). A bit expensive but easily the nicest glasses I have owned. They regularly have $50 coupons when you complete a Strava challenge too. I plan on getting their prescription glasses this year too ( I already have prescription sunglasses from them)

    Glad I wasn't the only one curious. You need to tell us what one is your GF's friend so we can comment.

    If it was their normal retail price, I might consider it. But not at $1k+.

    They’re typically 700-800.

    I get the limited production thing though. Just can’t justify that kinda ‘want’ expense currently.

    Haven't been on here in a while. Here's the current bike. Put about 1k miles on it so far. It's been super fun. Climbs awesome, eats up bad lines downhill really well.

    It is a little overwhelmed at lift oriented bike parks so I'll be adding either a Ripmo, Megatower or Enduro next spring most likely assuming I can find what I'm looking for.
