7eye Sunglasses

He Said:
How many pairs of eye wear do you own for motorcycling? There’s that pair that some girl said looked good on you, the yellow pair with cheap foam liners, the building supply cheap clears, and then that pair you had to have that look really cool but don’t keep the wind out of your eyes. 7eye has solved this for us.

During this review I was wearing a pair of their Whirlwinds with the 24/7 photochromic lenses, they change from dark to light. This meant 1 pair of glasses for both day and night with nothing to change. The lenses are guaranteed not to break for life. The rest of the glasses have a 1 year warranty and are also repairable after the warranty is up. Follow the simple care instructions and use the included strap and these should last a long time. Mine fit well without the strap but I like the strap for helping keep my dew rag on while on the highway.

Riding in all conditions I found these to be very versatile. Night riding was great, the glare from lights seemed to be greatly reduced. Day time color was also great. While not as dark as standard daytime only glasses the 24/7 lenses still did a great job, glare reduction was a great benefit. The removable eye cup worked great to keep wind and flying debris out of my eyes. The 50mph cross winds on the way to Sturgis did not penetrate them.

After wearing these for about 5 months now I have eliminated all but 1 back-up pair of glasses for the time I goof up and break or lose these. Not likely since I really like these.

When I am getting dressed and ready to head out riding, I usually choose what I wear according to functionality. But let’s face it, all of us lady riders want to look good while cruising around too. When it comes to glasses, I am extremely picky. My glasses have to be fashionable as well as have the proper fit. For the past few months I have been wearing my new glasses made by 7Eye every time I ride my motorcycle.
7Eye offers many styles of frames and lenses for women to choose from. When ordering these glasses, I chose the women’s Zephyr style in Sandalwood color, with the lenses that transition from clear to dark. I like this style because the frames have a modern, stylish look, and don’t look at all like your typical motorcycle glasses. They could be worn for everyday use. But they also fit close to my face and have a small air dam that is not visible from the outside of the frame, so they keep the wind out of my eyes. They also came with an adjustable strap to keep them in place on your head, and a hard case to protect them when you are not wearing them.
The best thing about these 7Eye glasses is the transition lenses. I can keep riding from daytime till after dark without having to stop and change my glasses and put on clears. Another advantage to these glasses is that I only have one pair to keep track of! Over the years I have bought dozens of pairs of motorcycle glasses, trying to get just the right ones that look good and keep the air and dirt out of my eyes, but have rarely been happy with any of them. Now I have one pair that is versatile and I can get rid of all the rest!

Conclusion:
7eye glasses have something for everyone, even prescription versions. They might cost a little more but add up what you have spent on cheap glasses. The quality is topnotch with styles for everyone. Warranty and customer service is hard to beat. Find a pair for you or your best riding buddy at http://www.7eye.com/
