The Little Things

Disclaimer: I received a xx2i Optics 2 glasses set to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!

Finding the right pair of sunglasses to exercise in can be difficult, and I lucked out that the first pair of sunglasses really worked out well for me. However, I’d never tried anything else, so when I was offered the chance to review XX2i Optics Sunglasses, I jumped at the chance! Unfortunately, they arrived at a less than ideal time, as I was just starting my taper for Rock’n’Roll St. Louis. So, I want to be upfront and say that I actually haven’t run or biked in them, because I haven’t biked and my runs weren’t in the sun (and I wasn’t going to wear new sunglasses on race day).

Here’s what I can tell you:

When I received my XX2i Optics Sunglasses, I was pleasantly surprised with everything that came in the container:

There are two pairs of sunglasses, extra lens to switch out, a cord to connect to your glasses to keep them around your neck, and other colored ear pieces. Pretty neat, right?

When I arrived home from my half marathon this weekend, I decided that I needed to walk a bit after sitting in the car for so many hours, so I threw my sunglasses on and enjoyed a walk (still in my race clothes!) while wearing them.

I also enjoyed a walk the next day to help loosen my body up as well! All I need for a good walk are some sunglasses and my shoes!

The sunglasses didn’t dig into my head in any uncomfortable ways, and they fit well while wearing my sparkle head band. However, the glasses aren’t the most comfortable on my nose bridge, but I’m not sure if I could get used to them if I actually spent more time in them. I talked to several other BibRave Pros who are reviewing this product, and most of them don’t seem to have issues with this.

I look forward to running in them once I start my next training cycle, and am especially looking forward to wearing them when I start my outdoor biking season again next spring!
