Tifosi Rail Race sunglasses review, Feed The Habit, November 2022 (see here): "Just earlier this year, Tifosi launched the Rail Race, which has become my personal go-to sunglass for cycling and trail running. But, with that big of a shield, fogging can happen. To combat that and add a little more durability to the lenses, Tifosi launched their limited-edition Rail Race sunglasses. It's pretty obvious that the major difference between the Rail Race and the Rail are the four lens vents. But, you also get laser-etched edges of the huge lenses. Not only does the etching add a little extra style, but it also helps reduce damage on the most susceptible areas of the lens. You might think you can see the etched edges, but they aren't noticeable when wearing them." The Good - Huge shield design - Vents basically eliminate fogging - Laser-etched edges add style and durability - Great optics - Comfort for all types of athletic uses The Bad - Changing lenses is easy, but I'd still prefer a Fototec lens option The Bottom Line: Tifosi Rail Race These limited-edition sunnies take the Rail and take it up a notch by eliminating fog and adding some style/durability elements. I do wish they had a Fototec lens option, but I'd venture to guess it's only a matter of time. These large lenses provide tons of coverage and protection in a lightweight, comfortable package. |
