Would order again
I was dubious and hesitant about ordering because I’m so picky about glasses and lenses. But I love them! The lenses are crisp, with just enough tint and just enough venting. I have a small face and worried that they wouldn’t suit me, but they look much better than I expected on my head and face. They work well with my helmet and stay on if I bend over. Love them!

I don't normally buy good sunglasses...
The poshest I'd go is Bolle normally. Just got tempted by these in the sale - looking at the invoice though I was charged £91 - when I clicked on them it said £78 - so not sure what that's about?
Beautiful glasses. Because other reviewers expressed concerns at their strength in changing the lenses over I haven't tried. Wear different glasses home at night.

Not full five stars but close
Very pleased with look and quality and strangely fast shipment times to Canada (door to door in one week). Also appreciate that price includes any potential custom/duty fees as this is always a mystery. Cant give full stars however as lens' werent easily changed with clear lens without getting lots of fingerprint marks. The swap out will take getting used to.

Decent glasses
Like these glasses very much, they don’t fog up easily, fit very comfortably and arrived with a clear lens option, which is very easy to swap, yet feels very secure. The frame itself doesn’t feel like the highest quality however, arrived with some minor defects along the bottom. The hinges also feel rather cheap and I expected a bit more at this price.

Purple for the win
I appreciate the build quality, love the color and styling, and ease of use with the interchangeable lenses. Frame height of the glasses themselves don’t play well with my helmet, which forces the two to bump together a lot. Maybe just double check the sizing on your current glasses and be mindful of how that fits with your current helmet.

Great but not durable
Really liked these - comfort and style - and appreciate the included clear lens. Unfortunately even with gentle use the frame snapped in two places after six months of use. Wish I could buy a new frame as the two lenses are still in perfect shape, but not willing to buy a whole new pair if they’re just going to break again so quickly.

Disappointed by the transparent lens.
The tinted lens is nice. The frame fits comfortably on my face. No fog. Very disappointed by the transparent lens. I thought I could have used it at night. It's just a piece of polycarbonate with absolutely no coating. The result is that every light source becomes three... barely usable, if not dangerous in many occasions.

Stylish and great protection without being too bul
The large lens offers great protection from the elements and visibility without being too bulky. Love the stylishly hard case for storage and the microfibre bag with a pocket for a spare lens fits perfectly into a jersey pocket. Apart from offering great protection for your eyes, these glasses also look the business.

And they look good too.
Very pleased. I usually struggle with my cycling glasses fogging up but these glasses whilst misting up if I stop after a strenuous effort clear themselves as soon as I start cycling again. Can be a bit fiddly changing the lenses and can't say that I notice much difference swapping the nose pieces but that's all.

Fantastic, you won't be disappointed
Best cycling sunglasses I have ever had. I have had every brand known starting with factory pilots in the late 80's and these have been amazing. The clarity is great, fit and no slip is perfect for me, easy to clean and while they look great on the bike with a helmet, they are a little too dorky for casual wear.

Fantastic
Great fit, great field of view, great optical clarity, and great looks. And if you get them when they’re on sale, they’re a fantastic value, especially when you consider they come with two lenses. I just wish Rapha would offer the possibility to buy extra lenses separately - then I would rate them 6/5 stars !

Superb eye protection
Love the windshield effect, low-fog design (even when masked or snooded-up against the nose piece), and overall fit/finish. Zero corners cut, premium optics and lightweight. Style-wise, the design advocates for two time periods at once -- futuristic and sleek, yet slightly retro-glam 1986 throwback.

Purple Shades!….All In My Brain!
Nice shades and great coverage for the orbital bone area. These have been great as the weather has dropped to give additional blocking from the wind and the tint on them is nice and not too dark . Also comes with a clear lens that can be swapped in which is great. Good fit on my head and cool style!

Excellent product
Absolutely delighted with this product. I have never owned an expensive pair of glasses before, but really pleased that I have bought these - a huge difference. Provide great visibility in all light conditions, and so comfortable to wear even when in the saddle all day. Thoroughly recommended.

Great function
The glasses don't fog on road rides and only on slower, intense, technical climbs on the mtn bike. No fault of the glasses as a rider just can't create the air flow to clear the glasses at such slow speeds and intense exertion.
Changing from coloured lenses to clear is easy and works well.

Fab but fiddly
I’ve used the clear lenses on a grey, wet ride and the darker ones in full sunshine in Greece. Both are great. They fit really comfortably. I was worried they’d be too big but they’re perfect. And they look good! They don’t get five stars because it is fiddly changing between lenses

Excellent lens, decent venting
These glasses look great and the lens is exceptional. When it’s hot, I prefer the explore glasses, as they tend to ventilate better and wick away sweat more effectively. Would definitely recommend these for cooler weather riding (or if your head doesn’t sweat as much as mine)

Super Solid (Better Than Sutros)
Pretty much better than Oakley Sutros in every way:
—Comes with backup clear lenses for night riding
—Optics are spectacular
—Frame is higher quality with rubberized ends.
—Multiple fits for the nose bridge
—Ultra post case
—Aero cutouts to prevent fogging

nice for the price
Pretty good. Better than most. This is now a very competitive market and getting something cool and polarised is no longer very hard. These are nice though, seem well made, stay on head and cover a lot. Not yet tested in Australian summer so I hope they do well.

Excellent Customer Service
Had an issue with the first set of glasses sent out and the second set as well. There was a purple ink stain on the frame. Customer service was excellent and offered me refund or replacement both times. Third time lucky and couldn't be happier with the glasses.

Stylish and practical glasses.
The frames come with a clear and tinted lens. Fairly easy to interchange. The nose clip can be adjusted.. ive used these on a few longer rides, very comfortable and also allow some air circulation so you dont sweat.. overall another great Rapha product..

Okay Glasses. Fog up quickley
Lightweight. Nice carrying case. I live in New England with lots of tree covered roads. Lenses do well with contrast.
Unfortunately the lenses fog up much quicker than my comparable price Oakleys. I am a bit select as to when I will wear these.

Perfect fit and stylish
Comfortable fit with wide lenses for protection.
They do get a bit steamy but disappear rapidly as soon as you move as the air vest works very well.
Shame that Rapha doesn’t sell replacement lenses and don’t make the model with prescription fit.

Best Fit
These are the best fitting glasses I have owned for a long time. I have a narrow head and glasses tend to slide down my nose when my head is hanging. These stay in place during my hardest rides. No fogging. Great wind protection.

Worth the hype
I'm obsessed with these glasses. They feel great, look great, and most importantly, they help you see EVERYTHING. The high-contrast treatment actually works and make colors pop so you can see all kinds of objects flying toward you.

Nice looking glasses with fantastic colour
Good nice looking glasses that fits quite good. It would have been awesome if you could adjust the head grip
It's difficult to see in slightly darker light. Fx when you ride in the woods on a sunny day and comes in to the shadow.

Poor - letting themselves down
I’m usually a huge Rapha advocate but these have been very disappointing.
They get steamed up very easily and I’ve had to ride mostly without any glasses as these are worse than nothing at all.
I’ll stick to my Oakleys I guess.

Fun and functional
I use these during my road rides and they are fantastic. Wide view and the world has an improved visibility. They are definitely loud when it comes to style but that’s what makes them fun. Top notch and would purchase again.

Great with one little flaw
Fantastic, light, clear glasses. They look even better in real life. I have a fat head and no discomfort wearing them over helmet straps. They do fog up a bit though in humid weather. Recommend anti-fog treatment

Great glasses but restrictions with lenses
I really like the glasses but feel slightly restricted with the lenses. It would be great if Rapha sold the individual lenses as the ones that came with my pair are not dark enough for very bright sunlight.
