Summary

Superb optics and great fit. Super lightweight. Great for running and biking.

Pros

Fits small / medium adult face
Excellent optics
Mulitple lenses included
Hard case

The Parallel frame wraps my face snugly leaving no gaps for air to sneak in. I have a smaller face (apparently) as Smith "medium" glasses usually fit me well.

The frame measures 135mm from temple to temple hinge.

My first outing with these was in full sun on snow. The brown polarized lenses are excellent. Cuts glare and enhances contrast.

The Ignitor lenses are fantastic for overcast days or transitioning in and out of shaded tree cover to open areas.

A hard zippered case was included with mine. This was not mentioned in the product description so it was a nice unexpected bonus.

This glasses are totally sweet. Purchase the glasses for the full price and get two more interchangeable lense sets. They are really a great buy, albeit $130.

These glasses are perfect for cycling or just looking bad ass. They hold tight, but don't squeeze my head.
