Sunnies have to, before anything else, look good on your face. These have the correct amount of menace and arrogance.<\/p>\n<p>They work at speed. I found them to be effective in keeping the tears away up to about 130km\/h. After that, you\u2019re crying a bit. Of course, everyone\u2019s head is shaped differently, and you might be able to attain far greater velocities without weeping.<\/p>\n<p>The lenses are made from PCX: Xtreme Polycarbonate \u2122 that are shatter-proof and some 35 times stronger than glass or CR-39 plastic lenses. They won\u2019t stop a bullet, but a random rock would not render you blind. They also boast scratch-resistance via DuraCoat\u2122 and are very light thanks to their Composite Shock Frames\u2122 to absorb punishment and provide ultimate durability and flexibility. They are also cushioned around the temples and nose bridge, so they don\u2019t bounce or slide down your face when you\u2019re sweating like a whore.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10120\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10120\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10120 \" alt=\"IMG_1434\" src=\"http:\/\/bikeme.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1434.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikeme.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1434.jpg 620w, https:\/\/bikeme.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1434-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bikeme.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1434-466x350.jpg 466w, https:\/\/bikeme.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1434-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10120\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Softness for your skull-bones.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>HOW MUCH?
