Review by Peter PReviewed 3/25/2022by Peter PLos Angeles, CA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.No more swapping lenses!I was anxious about ordering these as I was hoping to replace multiple se eyewear with just a single pair of glasses and I wasn't sure how well the photochromatic function would work. My typical rides start early morning when light is low or it is still dark. I couldn't be happier with the ways these worked out. Virtually clear on dark or low light, the photochromatic function adjusts subtly as the light increases. I hardly am aware of the change until I realize it's pretty light out and yet I'm not squinting or bothered by the brightness. Some of my weekend rides will extend closer to midday hours and these still provide enough shading to keep my vision comfortable. They don't get super dark like traditional sunglasses are, but for cycling I actually prefer the level of brightness these maintain. I always feel like my vision is enhanced while wearing these no matter what the light conditions are.
For context, typically wear sunglasses all the time when outdoors and my daily sunglasses are pretty dark.These Oakleys never get super dark, rather just dark enough to temper the sunlight and keep visibility optimized.
If you do all your rides in the midday sun and prefer a darker lens, these may not be for you. But if you're looking for a pair of glasses that work seamlessly in a variety of light conditions, are super comfortable, and high quality, I highly recommend the Radar EV Path.

Review by MTSPSUReviewed 2/25/2021by MTSPSUCycling EnthusiastSpring Mills, PA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.just what I was looking for in day/night eye wearOrdered the Oakley Radar Photochromic lenses to replace my GIANT sunglasses after getting tired of changing the lenses out. Kicked myself for not pulling the trigger last year but jumped on them when BTD again put them on sale in January. First ride with them was an evening spin and found them to fit comfortably, vented well and adjusted perfectly as day turned to night. Rode with them a few days later in full sun and again they didn't disappoint. I would highly recommend these sunglasses but might suggest waiting for them to go on sale. Great experience via BTD.

Review by KevinReviewed 1/10/2017by KevinCycling EnthusiastIndiana3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Improving on a good thingBought these for the photochromic lense as 80% of my riding is early(ish) mornings when the shadows along tree lined roads make it difficult to differentiate what's what. They do the job! Surprisingly, really liked the slightly taller profile. Allows for better coverage when in aggressive position without have to crane the neck so much.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 12/21/2017by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastSan Francisco Bay Area4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Great choice for variable light conditionIdeal for rides that move between shaded and brighter conditions. Lenses adapt quickly. Lots of my rides are on heavily wooded hills where traditional dark lenses are too dark for the shady sections. Pricey withhigh quality optics.

Review by Colorado CommuterReviewed 10/5/2020by Colorado CommuterDaily CommuterBoulder, CO1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Fast-changing lenses for Radar EV Path are great for varying light conditionsI primarily bought these sunglasses for biking in early mornings with very low light. I want to protect my eyes from bugs, dust, tree branches, etc. so biking without eye protection isn't great. I love the lenses because they change color very fast. I even wear these sunglasses as safety glasses when mowing the lawn and using a string trimmer. My only gripe with these are the arms are very tight to the head, so I can't wear them for extended periods like my other Oakleys. I also wish Oakley made interchangeable lenses.

Review by not_a_proReviewed 11/16/2017by not_a_proCompetitive RacerPortland, Or6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.Look pro feel proThese glasses function as described. The clear to black photochromatic lenses are good for low light conditions like winter training and rainy cloudy days of cyclocross
