As a member of another website, I was able to test both the Backwoods and Rapid sunglasses by Optic Nerve in exchange for a review. Nice, comfortable, lightweight, polarized sunglasses at a great price point! Love the Rapid style for water sports and the Backwoods style for cycling/running, but both are great for everyday use as well.
Pros
- Lightweight (poly carbonate materials) but seem very durable.
- Great price for high quality glasses. I usually buy cheap glasses because I tend to lose them or break them, but these are well-worth the extra $10-15 for quality glasses.
- Polarized lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection.
- Perfect for water sports such as sea kayaking, sailing, etc.
- Different shapes/lines work well for various sports or simply for everyday. I chose these glasses for use on the water, but also wear them cycling and have used them as everyday glasses from time to time.
- Lifetime warranty!
Cons
- It would be great if these came with a protective case with the Optic Nerve logo.
I was able to test the Rapid and the Backwoods sunglasses by Optic Nerve. After a day of cycling and wine tasting, we took our sea kayaks out to Suttons Bay and spent the day kayaking around the bay.
