$26.24Optional foam interface for the Turbolence sunglasses.
The foam interface only comes in one size. So does the glasses frame. Yet, the interface that shipped with the glasses did not fit the frame. The interface was noticeably smaller than the frame, which means it did not snap securely into the frame, and would not stay in place. It (and the glasses) went back. Good idea, but poor execution.
It does what it supposed to do but the sponge feels a bit on the cheap size…
I used it the first time at 66 miles Bike-a-thon in Philly. They were comfortable, covered lots of my face and super stylish.
I recently had a horrific accident where I went entirely over the handlebars, landing directly on my head and the left side of my body.
The impact was severe enough that I broke my collarbone in two places and fractured a couple of ribs. However, despite my head bouncing off the pavement twice, I walked away with absolutely zero head or neck injuries. No concussion, no trauma, nothing. The helmet took the entire force of the blow so my brain didn't have to. Looking at the damage to the helmet, it’s clear that it did exactly what it was engineered to do.
I do a lot of EMTB in Mammoth Lakes and there are loads of tall trees. Light comes and goes and with the Defender's the lenses changes so my visibility is always good. Something I think is important when riding.
