TIFOSI UPDATE
After a weekend of testing the Q2's, I came up with this - Tifosi rocks.
The Q2 is new the line-up of Tifosi – here’s the details:
1. Assortment of colors - go crazy and get the crystal colors. They are
super bright and stand out really well.
2. Distortion free lens. Long story short - glass thinner at the sides, so
your peripheral version does not distort.
3. This frame does not use their new nosepiece, but is basically similar to
the old Quam's of last year. Frame is sturdy and strong.
Lenses tested - clear and green. As expected, clear is pretty much a no
brainer and performed as expected. And the green - wow. I was pretty
impressed - very similar to the effect of the Tifosi orange lenses of last
year, but not quite as bright. Nice option for me - I usually like to go
with a non-typical lens color. I have to stand out, yo.
Bottom line, great glass at a great price. Folks, I use what works. I race
and ride endless hours and I don’t need a glass that is cheaply made and
that doesn’t hold up during endless 24-hour races that I will endure this
year.
That’s why I will be using the Q2’s.

And, just for the hell of it, here is the music that I am raging to while lifting, riding, and cooking. Well, not cooking, but you get the idea. Enjoy.
