TIFOSI DAVOS

-

£69.99 The Davos from Tifosi glasses appear to represent great value. They’re the cheapest model of the six here and come with a hard storage case, a soft cleaning bag and three interchang­eable lenses – one clear lens, one light-enhancing lens and one slightly mirrored smoke lens. Switching between them requires a bit of brute force to begin with but gets easier as you perfect the knack and the frame develops some give. Yet the frame is more of an issue when you’re wearing them, as it’s visible whichever way you look. It’s not obstructiv­e but, certainly in this colour, it’s hard to ignore. The bigger problem is the frame’s insecurity – the glasses constantly slide forwards and, with even the slightest tilt of your head, you can see over the brow. The vented lenses are also breezy, which may help prevent sweat getting in your eyes, but also makes your eyes more prone to watering. So not such great value, after all. tifosiopti­cs.com
