Tifosi Davos glasses


If you don’t get on with goggles but want full-coverage optics, these Tifosi glasses are, ahem, worth a look. The perimeter frame covers from cheekbone to brow and wraps a long way back. While the lens has vents at the top and bottom, they’re tiny, so there’s little chance of rain, debris or dust getting through. Peripheral vision is good, with the frame only visible right at the edge of your field of view. The arms and nose piece are bendable for a secure, head-hugging, snout-saddling fit even on small skulls.There’s none of the ‘HD’ wow factor you get with some top-end specs but optical quality is OK and Tifosi lenses are generally very scratch resistant.

You get three lenses included too – clear, smoke and all-conditions red. They do need to be nursed carefully and patiently out of/into the frame, though – we snapped our first sample set while trying to switch lenses. Rubbing them to warm up the plastic slightly helps.
