Product Review: Spyder Air – Elite Series

You may have seen them in malls.  Spyder offers a products on sports eyewears, moto helmets and cycling helmets.  For runners, they have sports eyewear that fits our needs.

One sports eyewear that I often see during races is their Spyder Air which is part of their Elite series.  Spyder Air features a unique shaped frame.  It comes with two interchangeable lenses.  The lenses are made of polycarbonate and are polarized.  The grilamid frame is lightweight but it is tough and flexible.  The Spyder Air offers great features at a reasonable price.

Spyder Air – Elite Series

Here is our review of Spyder Air.

Pros

• Light and flexible – The frame is thin and light. Feels Very easy when you wear them.  It has air vents that keeps your eyes cool during a hot run and minimizes fogging of the lenses.
• Unique design – I love the design.  It’s very different from other sports eyewear.  The way you change the lenses is different.  The frame looks different.  It is rich in features that makes this eyewear popular among runners and bikers.
• Easy to change lenses –  The lenses are easy to change.  Both lenses are joined together and they can be simply attached and detached from the frame.  Extreme force is not required.

Cons

• Falling – When I start early, I don’t wear the shades right away.  I just put them above my head to hold my hair.  But the frame is flexible that it bends with my hair.  It doesn’t grip well thus would slide and fall down my face.
• Two lens set – Unlike other interchangeable lens eyewear, the Spyder Elite only come with two pair of lenses.  Others would have four.  But the ones that comes with the eyewear are the most often used lenses.

Summary

Spyder Air has great features at a reasonable price.  This pair of sports eyewear will work well for runners ans cyclists.  If you have a small face, the fit would be perfect.  But if your face is a bit wide, it doesn not look well.
