Winter is grey in Michigan. I'm a relatively new skier, so when visibility is minimal, I get nervous. I wear contacts and usually where sunglasses when I ski because goggles are a little to claustrophobic for me. These are perfect! Made a huge difference for visibility. The only little thing I noticed is the holes above the nose (I'm sure for anti-fogging) create a direct windpoint to the corner of my eyes and makes them water some. I may plug the holes somehow if it's too annoying, but otherwise - HIGHLY recommend!
I've had these for about 1 month and been using them in Colorado for general use, trail running and some back country skiing. Will use for MTB and Road Cycling this summer. These things rock. I love them. They aren't quite as dark as my older glasses with reflective tint, but the photochromatic is awesome for changing conditions.
I will absolutely be purchasing more once these wear out. I have two suggestions for improvement.
1. Offer a larger frame size for fatheads like me
2. Make the lense coverage a bit larger. I like my sports classes to also protect my eyes from branches when tree skiing and MTB and a lense that covers 15% more on the sides and bottom would be preferred.
Otherwise these are the best pair of glasses I've found to date! They get 5 stars since they are awesome and my criticism is for my specific use and preferences.
I purchased these Ramble glasses for Nordic skiing and I am very happy with them. They are light, fit my face nicely and do not pinch under a knit cap. They do sometimes fog a little when on an uphill climb but clear on a down hill. I may try the Ramble Speed to see if it's better for my needs. Regardless, they are still the best glasses that I have ever owned for Nordic skiing.
I bought a pair for trail running/racing hoping the ventilation would keep them from fogging and that the constant sun/shade alternations on my favorite trails would be helped by the transition lenses. Check and check. These glasses are perfect. I just lost my original pair after many, many hours and came here to buy another pair and a pair for my partner.
Great optics! No distortion, pretty fast to transition from light to dark and vice versa, and the vents work well! Keeps my brow pretty dry and I'm a very heavy sweater
