Keep out of high intensity heat areas (i.e. car dashboard). For the best possible vision make sure to clean the lenses regularly with the provided microfibre bag. Protect lens coatings by using the protective case.

Great sunglasses, purchase with cautionThese are excellent sunglasses, they fit well, are terrific in dappled sunlight. However, there is one key aspect that needs to be considered and is the reason for no more than three stars. They come with another set of clear lenses - which sounds useful. Yet, the frames are very fragile and despite great care and attention when changing the lens the frames broke, very easily. Unfortunately, rapha don't carry spare frames.......which means you are left with great lens and ..............broken frames.
So, if you just want sunglasses, these are great, if you think you'll need to change the lenses, shop elsewhere.

Decent shadesGreat sunglasses. They look good on my thinner face and I like the extra clear lens that comes with it. I give it four stars only because they can occasionally rub against my aero helmet (the top). It’s not a big concern for me but it might be for others, which is why I mention it. That said, they’re great and functional, giving the road more definition in the bright, high-elevation sun we often get in Colorado - a challenge for my light coloured eyes. I also have the more casual glasses that Rapha offers and it may be that I wear these a little less as I like the style of the others slightly more. On the other hand, they’re so good I have two pair.

Great sunnies, fit well, stay in place, do the jobHaving started cycling with some cheap no-name sunnies I decided it was time to get a decent pair. It was either these or Os. I'm super pleased with these, from the first time riding without having to poke them back into place and feeling like my eyes were totally protected from wind, bugs and dust I now know there is value in spending more. I've not got the smallest nose, let's just say I cast a decent shadow, even with that the nose piece fits great and the frames sit perfectly on my face with minimal gap at the bottom. The lens tint is very good, dark but enhancing and the spare clear lens has come out a few times in the rain and is a great addition. Highly recommend,worth the money.

FantasticI purchased two pairs of the full frame Pro Team glasses with a darker and lighter tint, and they are both fantastic glasses. I wear the light tint primarily mountain biking with a Rapha/Smith helmet and the combination is great in the trees and lower light. The way the glasses interface with the helmet is perfect, and the coverage is great. I wear the darker tint primarily road riding with a Catlike helmet and that combination is just as good. The glasses are comfortable and fit great with the installed nosepiece, and I could not be happier, especially at the end of season sale price.

Great glassesGreat glasses. Very good fit and they provide an excellent all-round field of vision, significantly better for me than many other glasses that I have tried. Only downside is that you cannot buy replacement lenses, hence dropping one star. I would like the option to by an alternative to the clear lens for low light.

Difficult to remove the lensesGreat glasses - but don’t try to change the lenses: It’s almost impossible to remove them without breaking the frame…

Perfect cycling sunglassesWe loved these so much my fiancée kept stealing them until I ordered her a pair too. The optics are amazing and the way they increase the contrast is amazing. No fogging issues, no wind issues. Fantastic product.

Broken frameI am very disappointed with the product. While replacing the lenses the frame broke
It looks like the film is coming off my lens. Perhaps due to age. Is it possible to buy a new lens?
Asked by: NL Koen
I am sorry to hear that your lenses are showing these signs of wear and tear; this is usually a long term result of damage to the surface of the lenses. We're not able to supply replacement lenses for this particular model, unfortunately, but please do reach out to our customer services team who will be happy to see what help we can provide with purchasing a new pair of glasses.

I have had these for 3-4 years now and love them. The care instructions only mention cleaning them with the supplied case/cloth. Should I treat them with anti-fog? Or will the anti-fog treatment that came with them last an eternity?
Asked by: Philbob
Our Pro Team Full Frame Glasses are made with Military-grade anti-fogging and anti-scratch finish on lenses. We wouldn't expect for the glasses to need treating as the finish is incorporated. The care instructions provided should be sufficient to keep your glasses in top condition. However, if you do experience any issues with fogging, please feel free to reach out to our customer support team for assistance.

What lenses are best for low light conditions apart from clear?
Asked by: Mal Dicko
The pink/blue lenses allow for 21% of light to come through. This would be the second best lens for low light behind the clear lenses.
