Overall on first glance I thought the glasses were a little big for my head, because I am one of the many small headed Americans out there. But once I put them on they fit very snugly and were a lot lighter than most sunglasses I have worn before. I used to use Oakly Jawbones and they were awesome but a little on the heavy side compared to the DAFT. Upon running with them there was no jostling around on my face, once I set them where I wanted them they were not moving, so for fit and feel give them a 2.5/2.5.
One of my biggest pet peeves with sunglasses is having bright spots, or portions where light gets in. These spots are the worst! Along with them comes the blind spots from the plastic. Nothing sucks more than trying to see someone coming behind you or on your side and missing them because you have big piece of plastic in your way. The DAFT do not have blind spots because of the one lens design and minimal light gets in around the sides. The only time I had issue with the light was when I was trying to look way out my peripherals but beyond that there was no light actually getting in. Fog was not an issue with these sunglasses. For light and Blind Spots 2.5/2.5.
Now for looks, the DAFT are a very racing style of sunglasses. They are sleek and make anyone who wears them look like they will be going fast. The ear pieces on the team version have blue SPY logos and blue gummy pieces around the ear. The general pair come with black, on both the black and white versions.
Style 2.5/2.5.
A big thing I know for me when it comes to sunglasses is being able to change out my lenses for the occasion. The DAFT make it super easy to change out the lenses; its simply a matter of clipping off the nose piece and ear pieces and then putting them on the new lenses. The whole process takes a matter 10 seconds, and the pieces clip off and on with enough ease that I'm not scared that I will break the lenses by using too much pressure. Lens Change 2.5/2.5.
FINAL 10/10
I would recommend the DAFT to anyone. The DAFT have become my go glasses for both cycling and running and you will see me wearing them in 2014! Below are links to where you can pick up a pair of the DAFT.
