Tifoisi Sanctum XL ($39.95)
I admit to being considerably of a sun shades “snob” preferring giant body photochromic shades from the likes of Julbo and Smith. Why giant and photochromic? I typically run in altering mild situations at day’s finish and.. I put on my shades over prescription eyeglasses.
The Sanctum XL positive suits the invoice with its very giant body and suits completely over my eyeglasses with no slip or bounce however how would shades costing 6x lower than my ordinary carry out and maintain up? The reply may be very effectively!
Primary Particulars
LENS TECHNOLOGY Shatterproof polycarbonate scratch-resistant lenses, 100% UVA/UVB safety from dangerous UV RaysLIGHT FRAME Gentle solely 31 grams, THRIVE body which is a light-weight and sturdy plant-based materials.

I used to be significantly struck by the constructive strong hinges and the sunshine weight of such enormous shades at 31g. That mentioned my ordinary goto Julbo Future ($250 with photochromic lenses) weigh a mere 13g however.. require a keeper wire to maintain from shedding them when up on the top.. occurred to a pair within the woods and did not discover..
Match and Look
As beforehand talked about I put on sun shades over my prescription sun shades and the XL match effectively. The look is “virtually” regular as proven above.
Their large temples and hydrophobic nostril pads stayed placed on the run with the lenses fully overlaying my common glasses.
Efficiency and Conclusions
The lens is large and offers a really large visual field with minimal distortions even over my common eyeglasses. Whereas not a very tight seal over eyeglasses there may be minimal mild leakage and none once I put on my ordinary run cap.
The lens coloration of Smoke Tint with Silver Mirror will not be my favourite as I’ve myopia and shades with extra coloration distinction are higher for me, a identified concern for my eye situation. I discovered in lower than vivid solar they’re a bit darker than I favor however in vivid solar (with the mirroring changing into a bonus) they have been very good.
The lenses are thicker than my Julbo and I want they have been thinner for extra mild transmission and a bit much less distortion however for $39.95 I’m for positive not complaining. Different tints such because the Smoke Tint with Yellow Mirror can be found.
