Not sure about the 5-lens model. I might have this one (or something nearly identical by a different brand), but I've never used it. I prefer the frame-less one with the photochromic + reflective coated lens.

Mine aren't photochromic, I should probably try them-mine have a red lens that similar to Oakley's "Prizm", a smoke grey reflective, and a clear.

I see the 5 lens model includes a yellow lens. Of course that is the one with a different frame. :P I'll give them a try. Thanks.

Check these out. These are photochromic, and - if you believe the picture - may have a chance of being relatively "clear" in low-light. They're gold (yellow?), but they do have a frame.

I have a couple pair of Elicit clones. Really like these, crazy light, frameless, high contrast tint. The originals have Zeiss lenses, and I doubt these are anywhere near as good, but they work great for me.

Do you have a link to these? Thanks in advance.

My most recent. But just search Elicit. You'll find some with 3 lenses, some with photochromatic, yada. The hardware is all the same.

Kapvoe & SCVCN photochromic effect indeed gets clear. The only thing which remains is the slight color glare from the mirror coat.
Important for me is the fact, that they stay clear when it gets cold.  Some photochromic molecules darken when it's cold, my Alpina glasses did that.
That's..... less than optimal. Riding when it's dark to me is bound to the winter time.

I’ve been using these over my regular glasses. My prescription is changing often enough that I don’t bother buying rx riding glasses. And I hate contacts.
They’re a bit pricier now than when I first got them, but still worth it imo.

I have found they don’t fit well over glasses with thicker frames. It feels ridiculous at first, but then you forget they’re even there.

I got these for my wife. And then got her 2 more different pairs (colour). Fit is great for small faces.

SCVCN (sometimes as Kapvoe, pretty much same thing for more money) X62/S62, X63/S63 ...


They're not super specialised cycling glasses but rather fashiony glasses that you can also use for cycling. Suuuper cheap (usually around 5 bucks, often less in combo blast), but they look pretty good in real life. Quite a selection of different frame and glass colours/treatments (including photochromic and polarised). Had a bunch of them, but now I pretty much exclusively wear blue mirror polarised for sun and clear yellow when it gets darker.
