THE SELL: Lightweight street-sport crossover with a lot of bang for very few bucks. THE TEST: Solid head hold and coverage in a design that doesn’t call attention to itself鈥攐r you鈥攐n the trail or in town. Big polarized poly lenses cover high and wide in a copper tint that pulls out depth and contrast even in fast-changing light conditions (e.g., woodsy singletrack). We’d be a lot more enthusiastic if we hadn’t compared these shades with all the others here. Truthfully, the optics are not quite up to the others鈥攂ut we’re talking very minor differences in acuity and pop. You get “good enough,” not “wowza!”鈥攚hich, of course, you’re not paying for. THE VERDICT: Sensible choice, if sensible is how you want your sunglasses. Look and feel are a mite down-market.
