Tifosi Optics Moab Sunglasses Review

Tifosi Optics Moab ($80)

The brand new Moab is much like the Tifosi Stash (RTR Evaluate), with the notable distinction being the totally framed lens. The Moab has two choices: both interchangeable lenses or Fototec lenses. The three interchangeable choices are smoke with Clarion coating, All Situation Purple, and clear. When selecting the interchangeable choice, Tifosi affords three frames colours: Sahara, Plum Ardour, and Blackout. For evaluate, I obtained the Fototec lenses, out there within the Satin Vapor colorway.

The Moab’s Fototec VLT (Seen Mild Transmission) ranges from 14.5-65%. The transitions are fast and noticeable.

The transition works effectively when operating from full solar to finish tree protection/shade.

For path operating, the 65% VLT transmission isn’t obtrusive to imaginative and prescient in dimmer, though if I used to be operating largely full tree protection trails, I’d elect to take away the glasses. Thus far, I’ve no scratches on the lenses.

Admittingly, I like Goodr sun shades, however for path operating, they don’t final lengthy. As most runners know, the lenses scratch simply, so a couple of occasions of shoving them right into a vest pocket and they’re completed.

As Jeff wrote in his evaluate of the Stash mannequin, the Moab options adjustable nostril and ear items. I had no points with bouncing or discomfort when carrying these glasses, and at 31 grams, they disappear when carrying them. Effectively, at the least by way of really feel.

The apparent fashion issue is that they’re giant for my face, so I wouldn’t select these for informal put on (though I did put on them on the tractor whereas harvesting this yr). The size is barely greater than the Stash at 149mm as in comparison with 146.5mm, and the width is 56mm as in comparison with the Stash’s 53mm. The air flow holes will likely be a very good asset throughout chilly climate operating, after I usually put on a buff throughout my face.

At $80, I believe the Moab are an ideal purchase, and I’d counsel them for individuals who like a big protection fashion of sun shades. The standard of the lenses and body are shocking for the fee. My solely cons are the slight glare/reflection in full solar, however to be honest, I’ve the identical glare/reflection in my $200 pair of Article One x Ciele sun shades.
