The OmnuimPM has a photocromatic lens that adjust the tint according to various light
conditions. It comes with a hydrophobic
lens coating that repels water, oil and dust.
The lens is called Rose to Smoke, meaning that it has a reddish tint
which provides accurate colors, contrast and definition. They darken in brighter conditions and the
transition only takes 7-11 seconds, which happens without you even
noticing.
These are
extremely light weight, weighing in at just over an ounce. They come with dual injected an adjustable nose
bridge and temples to keep the Omnium PM in place. These didn’t move or bounce around and were
so comfortable that I didn’t even realize I was wearing them after a
while. They are made for people with
slightly narrow faces. The one complaint
that I had is that it just didn’t work with the shape of my face, it rode too
high. It is nothing against the
sunglasses, they just didn’t fit my funky shaped head very well (this is a
common thing for me).
Optic Nerve
offers a lifetime warranty against manufacture defects. The Omnium PM was picked as the 2012 Runner’s
World Gear of the Year and is an excellent pair of sunglasses, if they fit you. They are a great value too at $89.00.
Pros:
Very light weight
Can use in variable light conditions
Great fit, doesn’t bounce or move around
Lifetime warranty against manufactures defects.
Great value ($89.99)
Cons:
Just not right for my face (but it will probably work for
most people)
The Vahstro
(pronounced Va-Strow) is a great all-purpose sunglass kit. It comes with four lenses, polarized smoke,
copper, orange, and clear. The clear
lens lets 100% of the light through and is for extreme low light
situations. The orange lens lets 64% of
the light through and is good for variable light conditions. The copper lens lets 27% of the light through
and is for general or variable light conditions. The polarized smoke lens let 15% of the light
through. This is the lens I used most of
the time and provides accurate color and definition in sunny conditions.
The Vahstro
also comes with the hydrophobic lens coating and the frame is made from TR90,
which is an extremely durable nylon resin that prevents breaking and
stretching. This is the first of OpticNerve’s sunglasses to offer their “sideswipe” technology, which makes it simple
to change the lenses. These are the
easiest sunglasses to swap lenses and I have tried quite a few in my days.
The Vahstro
has triple injected rubber at the temple tips and nose bridge, which does a
great job of keeping them in place and deters bouncing while running. They are made for people with average sized
faces and I feel that they were a great fit for me.
The only
thing that I didn’t like is that the sunglasses come with a hard case and a bag
with separators for the lenses. While
this works, you have two separate things to carry and I think that it would be
better if there was a spot in the case for the lenses to be held along with the
sunglasses. Not a big deal, but it would
be nice.
Pros:
Very light weight
Can use in variable light conditions
Great fit, doesn’t bounce or move around
Lifetime warranty against manufactures defects.
Great Value ($109.00)
Cons:
I wish the hard case had separate spots for the lenses.
As with all
Optic Nerve sunglasses, you get a lifetime warranty against manufacture
defects. These are great sunglasses that
you can use in all different light conditions.
They were very easy to swap out the lenses and I would recommend these
if you are looking for a great pair of sunglasses with a lot of features.
