Being Shady with XX2i Optics!

" Disclaimer: I received a pair of XX2i Optics USA1 Sunglasses 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!"

Being someone who prefers to run outside instead of on the dreadmill - I mean, treadmill - having the sun in my eyes has become a regular part of running for me. I've worn hats and tried various kinds of sunglasses, only to deal with the hat slipping down over my face or getting pressure points behind my ears from cheap sunglasses.

However, protecting my eyes from harmful UVA/UVB rays is very important to me. Just as we all wear sunscreen to protect our skin, we also need to protect our eyes. Even in winter, those rays can reflect off the snow and cause damage.


XX2i Optics are an award-winning company that products amazing quality sunglasses for half the cost of most sport glasses brands. They have many different styles, so there's a perfect match for just about anyone!

One feature I love is that they have models that are equal parts fashionable and sporty. Like these tortoise gloss pair!

My pair came with:
- 1 pair of sunglasses
- lenses (polarized)
- two different colored ear/nose pieces (blue and red)
- a hard storage case
- a soft case (doubles as a cleaning cloth)
- a neck strap


I love that these glasses are actually comfortable to wear! The nose and ear pieces are a lightweight rubber (and interchangeable!) so I don't experience pressure points behind my ears like with cheap plastic frames. There is no bouncing while I'm running and with the nose piece also being rubber, this pair does not slide down my face or need constant readjustment. 


Being able to change up the look of the glasses is also an awesome feature. Mine came with red and blue interchangeable ear and nose pieces - might have to mix and match for a 4th of July race this summer!


Another thing I feel like I HAVE to mention is that these have a one year return window and a LIFETIME WARRANTY. 

(from xx2i.com)

I can really appreciate when a company stands by their product enough to back it with a lifetime warranty. I feel that, as a consumer, I'm more confident in my purchase when that kind of warranty is offered.
