Caveat emptor I guess.....
Rather than gimmicks it would be good to see them make glasses to suit a wider range of face/nose shapes. They don't fit 3/5 of my male riding partners or any of my wife's female riding buddies so they seem to be missing a trick. But hey, ageing rockers, yeah?
I've had my allycats for like 3 years now, the Zeiss lenses are fantastic, im still on my original pair and theyre still doing well, although i'd like a tinted or mirrored lense for low light conditions because then ill look cool while bumbling down the trail.
as for the glasses themselves, the nose piece started falling off within 3 months of owning them, i glued it back on and its been fine since, but it'd be nice for that not to happen. other than that the build quality is good, they're still feeling really good and nothing else has broken and fallen off.
the fit. they knocked against my giro switchblade and it was annoying, now i've got a fox speedframe and they dont knock anymore. i didnt think it was a big deal at the time but the fit of the glasses leaves quite a big gap between the lower edge of the lenses and my face and i get so much crap in my eyes because of it. i was finally prompted to find the "leave a review" email last week when i got such a big chunk of mud in my eye it blacked out my vision as it was going in and my eye was so irritated the next day that my vision was misty.
Overall its nothing you cant fix, i would buy another pair if they fit my face despite the nose pad falling off.
We actually updated the nosebridge a couple of years ago now and it’s way more solid now. Please shoot us a message via our website and we can sort you out with an updated version
They drop down dead, two hundred men
f*ck that, we both know this ain't the case. The only important thing is the width of the slit, where you put in the strap, and the width of the strap itself. Don't f*cking patronize the consumers to deflect pro consumer sentiment.
@savagelake: Thank you for your suggestion. To meet our sustainability goals, we're currently experimenting with the vegan option but unfortunately performance is still sub-par. This paired with the limited retaining capability of our strap due to the high-end elastic nature led to a frequent loss of accessories which implied we had to keep our experiment on hold until the next batch of accessories arrives. We're happy to learn from your experience in the mean time, good or bad. In case of complaints or issues, please provide a clear and complete description of the issue you experienced during your use of our products.
