Catching Some Rays with XX2i and the Bermuda1
Disclaimer: I received a pair of Bermuda1 sunglasses to review from XX2i 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!
I am always losing sunglasses, so having multiple pairs is a must, especially ones that look good and function well during sports and activity. I usually have lots of those free pairs that get handed out at events, but the sunglasses created for athletes are often missed in my life. That's why I was so excited to try out these Bermuda1's from XX2i!
What is the Bermuda1?
According to XX2i, the Bermuda1 is the first casual model:
"As XX2i’s first casual model, the Bermuda1 is the ultimate go-to sunglass that goes easy on your wallet. Available in classic Matte Black, Matte Tortoise, White & Black, and Crystal Black, the Bermuda1 is the perfect accessory for adventure, whether that be a trip to the beach or a quick walk with the dog. Using the same advanced materials as XX2i’s performance models, the Bermuda1 comes standard with polarized lenses that employ 4K optical technology, ensuring the utmost frame durability and lens clarity. All XX2i shades come with a 365 day money back guarantee and a lifetime frame and lens warranty. Learn more at www.xx2i.com."
The Track Test
I first tested these at the track. It was a cloudy day, but the sun was still shining bright through the clouds. Since I usually get sunburned, even on cloudy days, I came prepared with sunblock, my Bermuda1's and plenty of water.
I took them out for a 7-mile spin.
I really loved the lenses. They block the sun and give the world a nice, bright yellow hue. They also felt light on my face and the frame itself didn't fall down off of the bridge of my nose like so many other glasses do.
They are technically more of a lifestyle pair of sunglasses, but they can be used for sport too. I didn't just use them to run in though. I wore them in my yard, on a hike, to the lake and on drives in my car and I can truly say I have no complaints. The style, fit and function are perfect. I love the turtleshell color and they go with everything.
I Finally Found a Pair of Sunglasses that Look OK on my Face
For me, the real problem is that I NEVER look good in sunglasses. These actually were not bad on my face and I wore them in public many times, in fact I'm wearing them right now as I type this up outside. I'm giving these a shot as my new, go-to glasses.
Sun Protection
Most importantly, these sunglasses have UV protection and block harmful sun's rays. Since I live in California and am always outside, it's important to keep my vision protected for the future.
Say goodbye to squinting with these bad boys :)
What do you think? Am I rocking them?
