It was getting very difficult to read my phone's cycling app (due to my eyes aging). These glasses are great and provide UV protection while still allowing me to read the phone and anything else I might need to read along the way. Highly recommend them!
A new lease on vision

I had given up using a wahoo or other device because I just couldn't see them and relied on audio cues in one ear. But these have given me a better than fighting chance of deciphering what I see, so I'm actually considering going back to a device of some kind. Of course, it's been nice not being accountable for speed...
Excellent

I love the glasses. I can easily read my Karoo now and clearly see my map without having to stop and put on glasses! I love the clarity of the lens and they reduce sun glare very well. The case is really because it is impact resistant too.
Somewhat Disappointing

The reason I rate these a 3 is because the lenses are not large enough to provide satisfactory protection from the wind as I ride. Everything else is great: the frames, lenses, readers, etc. But the first time I wore them riding down a hill at modest speed (it was a chilly day) and glanced down at my cycle computer, my eyes filled with tears and I was unable to read the display. I don't have this issue with other sunglasses that have larger lenses. I am hopeful that the sunglasses will perform better in warmer (summer) weather.
Finally, a solution to counter fuzzy closeup vision

My closeup vision has been fuzzy for years, so when I tried these sunglasses with optical magnification for the first time, I was amazed how crisp my Garmin display really is! These work without causing any sacrifice in optical quality and UV filtration. Great option for folks who can see far, but cannot focus on tasks closer than arm’s length!
Solved a long time problem for me

Contact lenses necessitate eye protection when I ride, but also result in far-nearsightedness (that is, can't read things up close). These sunglasses fix the problem. The small discs with magnification at the bottom of each lens is perfect for reading a map, looking at a cell phone or wrist-watch. Also good sun and wind protection. If there was a clear version for riding at night, I'd get them, too. Highly recommended!
Light, sturdy, aero

Looking into full Rx lenses for cycling glasses - $600 and up! These XX2i glasses at less than $80? That’s a no-brainer. They are light, sturdy, comfortable and fit well, with good air flow for no-fogging. The reader portion is perfect for checking Speedo or maps. This is a winner.
Should have done this a long time ago!

My close vision has been blurry at best for years, making roadside repairs and reading maps and the phone difficult. These glasses solve the problem nicely. They fit well. They are a bit less full coverage than my previous shades but nothing I couldn't quickly get used to.
Worked great and more of a mirror look than Blue Blockers

As someone else said. I had Lasik a few years back and it totally destroyed my close reading. I need reading glasses to see anything close. It also has hastened with my age. Anyway, these glasses are great. I really love them and they are my main Sunglasses even when not riding. The photos show the glasses with a blue tint to them but I would say they are a neutral density (mirror) and don't have a Blue Blockers look through them

These glasses fit perfectly because the adjustable nose piece keeps the lenses off of your face. I usually don't like nose pieces, but these are lightweight comfortable and adjustable

I had lasik eye surgery done, if you have it when you already need reading glasses, your close up reading gets worst. Like not being able to read a menu, at least now I can see maps, my phone and not have my wife order my meal.

I could neither read my computer nor text properly while riding my bike without resorting to taking off my shades and putting on readers. These glasses totally solved my issues. I think they actually increased my average speed compared to my Wal-Mart shades. And, no, I don't text while riding. That would be silly.

The magnification is too far apart. I can't naturally use them. I have to turn my head to the side to look through the readers, and then can only see through one side at a time. Very disappointed.

I thought I was getting interchangeable lenses but I guess not. The case would hold them if they were there.
