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. Price $97

Tifosi Dolomite 2.0 Fototec glasses

The Dolomite 2.0s are available with Tifosi’s Fototec lenses, which react to light. At just 26g they’re pretty light too. They stay in place manfully even when faced with a midsummer sun cream/ sweat cocktail and the arms are long enough that the rubberised tips grip the side of your head nicely.

Tifosi Lore Light Night Fototec riding glasses

SO GOOD Tifosi's Light Night Fototec lenses are beautifully crisp and clear. They also react subtly to changes in light, though not quite as quickly as the lenses on the Enduras.
