My favorite cycling glassesI've had cycling glasses from all the usual suspects - Oakley, Tifosi and even Rapha's pro team lightweight frameless glasses. They are all great cycling glasses with great lenses but have one negative in common: they look dorky. Not Rapha's Classic Glasses! They look awesome with the classic wayfarer shape and work just as well thanks to Rapha's great lenses. I don't intend to ever wear dorky-looking sunglasses again :-)

I love, love, love these sunglasses...Forget Oakley... These sunglasses should be your go-to sunglasses! They're light, sturdy, they never fall off during a ride or a run and the lenses are incredible! Plus, they're very affordable! Get yourself a few pairs, you won't regret it!

Good quality but uncomfortable nose gripLove the shape of the glasses and they feel good quality but the nose grips are so uncomfortable! The rubber texture is a constant source of irritation and you have to keep adjusting the glasses to alleviate the irritable feeling they give on the sides of your nose. Would be great if the nose pieces were reversible with one side smooth and the ribbed for those who like the ridges, just not me. Also, I’m not a huge fan of the mirror lenses, this doesn’t come across in the pictures so was disappointed at how mirrored they are, would have like only slight or no mirror, in favour of the tinted colour.

Perfect on and off the bikeGreat looking shades for on and off the bike.
A really snug fit with the option to change the nose piece if required. Perfect vision with no distortion. The frame material and colour are great. I was worried slightly on how the lens tint would look. Looking through them a rose tint to the world, looking at them just dark lenses. Glad I chose them.
Would recommend and would buy again.

Asian fitIt comes with 2 noes pads to support the different face shape. I'm so happy the second nose pad gives more support so the frame doesn't sit on my cheeks. But somehow the glasses doesn't give a premium look.

Unbeatable valueI’d previously worn polarized Ray Bans when I’d cycled, and these have blown them clean out of the water.
Great clarity and - unlike most cycling glasses - they don’t look out of place when you’re off your bike either.
Perfect

Great sunnies...off the bike.Stylish looking sunnies. It is a mix of classic and modern features which I personally really like. They sit firmly on my face and the quality of the lenses is even higher than I expected. The only (big) catch for me is that they not very comfortable when riding. I suppose for fairly upright-posture commuters they work just fine, but on a road bike I find that the upper part of the frame gets in the way compromising visibility. Also, lens coverage is not great. There is much light coming in from the bottom and the sides of the sunglasses, despite the gentle curve. So, all in all, great casual sunnies for a sporty/classic look, but I would look elsewhere if your aim is to use them while riding.
Which one has the darkest 'black mirror lens'?
Looking at the lens colour of models 'Black Matte/Rose Lens' and 'Black Clear Gloss/Rose Lens', it appears as though the 'Black Clear Gloss/Rose Lens' would have the 'black' lens, but it says 'rose'.

Are they unisex, and fit smaller faces?
Asked by: CharlottesWeb
The glasses are unisex but have a one size fits all fit. If you have used smaller framed glasses in the past these may not work for you.

Do these fit into the slots on helmets? Have you tested any particular brands/models of helmet?
Asked by: rossmcf
These glasses won't fit into all helmets and aren't designed to do so in the same way other styles of cycling sunglasses do.
