Rudy makes the best lenses around. The Black/transition lens is no exception. Works at dusk. Works in the afternoon. Survived a 9:30pm criterium.
I have had POC, Oakley and Zero RH+.....
They are all sub par compared to the solid, light, stuck to your face feeling that Rudy Kelion has. And the lenses are Zeiss level, making your eyes really comfortable and vision second to none. After getting the white with multi-laser green I immediately got a second pair in black with the multi-laser yellow.
I love my Rudy Kelion.
After buying a couple of repair parts for my 23-year old Rydon's, I got notification from Rudy Project that there was to be a factory warehouse moving sale. Desperately in need of a new helmet, I spied the Protera+ in my size at a fantastic price. I didn't need to be told twice and bought the helmet without any further consternation. Showed up super quick. I've used the Protera+ 6-8 times now. It feels like it was made for my head. I couldn't ask for more.
Actual glasses are way deeper a lens than the website images portray. They look more akin to a diving or welding glasses when worn. Plus, as stated in other reviews, frame is very wide. They fit only loosely and I have a wide head. $930 could have been spent on two pairs of much better fitting/looking glasses. A poor choice based on a poor representation.
The Spinshield is an impressive full coverage piece of eyewear. The field of vision is impressive, they are very light, ventilate well, …..it goes on. They are a bit oversized for casual wear in my opinion, but they are fabulous on the bike which is their only purpose for me. The wrap around of the lens makes them seem like they are frameless.
If you are serious about eye protection, these should be on your short list.
My next pair will have the photochromic lens option.
