My search for good economic sunglasses prompted me to try one of the G7s. I have had these for a few days now and I am loving them. Unlike some of the other sunglasses out there, these are very sturdy and seem to be unbreakable during normal handling and can handle a fair amount of abuse. I am a triathlete and what attracts me the most about these sunglasses is their versatility.
I've used these during rides on relatively harsh mountain biking terrain, long road biking sessions in 40-50 F windy weather, running and bike riding at night .
With the forehead padding and headstrap, these can protect the eyes against wind chill and the head strap would secure them in place for more demanding activities such as mountain biking and skiing. I used these on my bike ride at night (in the street light) just to protect my eyes from the wind chill and these worked fine.
Unlike some other sunglasses in the market, the lenses allow just about the right intensity of light to pass through for a comfortable night ride. However, for those who like to go for long bike rides at night, I would suggest trying these on a few short sessions just to check your level of comfort riding in these at night.
For those who just bought these glasses and are trying to figure out how to remove the forehead padding and the headstrap follow the procedure below. These are really sturdy so don't be afraid of trying:
1. To remove the headstrap - slide your thumb between the headstrap anchor and sunglass arm till you can feel the thumb pushing against the anchor and then press lightly with the index finger on top of the anchor to balance the forces of your thumb and the index finger. Now, slightly increase the force of the thumb till the anchor pops out.
2. To remove the forehead padding - Hold the sunglasses at the base (not the arms) with both hands (preferably with thumb on the inside and other fingers balancing on the outside) and then increase the thumb force to slightly bend the frame outside till the forehead padding pops out.
PS: I had to contact the seller (Campbell international) to get the procedure for removing the headstrap and forehead padding and I ll have to admit that my experience with Karin Campbell at Campbell international was amazing. Fast response, very helpful and friendly. All in all a happy customer (-:.
I bought these as an alternative to the bulky goggles traditionally worn by skiers. Reviews for several other similar products complained of fogging so I was a bit skeptical. After skiing Stratton in VT I am very satisfied. There is definitely more air movement through the lenses than regular goggles, which may be a proble for people with contacts - I don't know. There was no fogging at all and I think they're a bit more unique on the slopes. I look forward to using them in different situations and would definitely recommend them.
