Tifosi Davos - In front of the nose

The "Davos" sunglasses from Tifosi come in a stylish glasses case, which contains the glasses as well as a bag that also serves as a cleaning cloth. Everything makes a high-quality impression and also feels good when you hold it in your hands. This is not a matter of course, as the glasses tend to be in the lower to medium price segment.
The nose and earpieces can be shaped to adapt them to the shape of your face. The rubbers on the ear and nose pieces are also designed to increase their grip as soon as you start to sweat.
The photochromatic lens automatically adjusts to the light conditions; in bright sunshine, the lenses still allow around 15 percent of the light to pass through, while 50 percent of the light reaches the eyes when it gets dark. This means that the glasses soon become too dark at dusk and you have to continue your ride without eye protection.
The Grilamid "TR-90" frame is characterized by its low weight and excellent flexural fatigue strength - at least according to the data sheet of "EMS GRIVORY", a division of EMS Chemie AG, where this material is manufactured. Welcome home, Tifosi Davos! The lenses are made of shatterproof polycarbonate, but we were unable to find out where they are manufactured.

Tifosi Davos - On the nose

Bend the nose and earpieces, put them on and off you go. The lower frame of the goggles is very easy to see in the field of vision, which takes a little getting used to at the beginning of the test, but is no longer a problem afterwards. The photochromatic lenses adapt very well to the different lighting conditions, and the whole thing is so inconspicuous that you don't even notice it as a rider. And that is always a good sign.
On sweaty climbs, the total of six ventilation slots in combination with the not-so-large lenses ensure that the windows don't mist up. The good ventilation, which is a great advantage on climbs, can be a slight disadvantage on descents. At high speeds, let's say above 40 km/h, sensitive eyes can start to tear.
The comfort of the Tifosi Davos, on the other hand, is excellent. Thanks to the low weight and the pleasant contact points with the head, the glasses never felt uncomfortable and always stay where they belong, namely on the nose.

Conclusion - light or shade?

The Tifosi Davos has found many friends. Whether you're on your bike like a hot-blooded Tifosi or just hanging around like a Davos icicle - the goggles always cut a fine figure. They are also comfortable to wear and offer good protection for the eyes (100 UVA and UVB filters). Tears in your eyes only occur at high speeds or because you are so happy about the budget-friendly price of these stylish sports glasses.
