I have found Flexon frames (memory Ti) super durable so only need to protect lens from scratching… just rolled in spare socks.
Last couple of years I have just one set of eyewear which is always on my face. Progressive lens with Transitions XtrActive Polarized which go from almost clear and unpolarized to 90% light blockage which is polarized!
No idea the coldest they function… but it’s below 20F. That is the lowest I have experienced since I got them a couple of years ago. I can also say they worked well in 110F. Ugh!
Brad, when the cases arrive from Temu, would you post the weights. BTW, I just received another of the six-ridge clamshells. This one was 24.9g, slightly heavier than the blue one in my photo.
