Anybody have any feedback on these? For 20 bucks, seems like a decent deal.

I know Sette does make some really nice products and bikes, but never tried there shades yet. That really sounds like a great deal, but I wonder how the lens hold up from popping out. I really like the different shaded lens that is offered with these frames. I just might send off for these this weekend when I order another dérailleur hanger.

For $20 bucks you can't really lose as long as they protect your eyes and look good. Cool

I received the glasses today. They look pretty good and fit nice. They didn't come with any instructions though on how to swap out the interchangeable lenses. I've never owned glasses with interchangeable lenses and am a bit afraid to experiment for fear of breaking them. Little help?

Most glasses with interchangeable lenses will have a groove in the frames that the lenses sit in. By taking your fingers and pulling up on the top part of the frame you should be able to see this groove, just simply manipulate the frame while gently pushing on the lenses and it should pop out.

Well, it wasn't pretty, but I finally got them swapped out. Maybe it'll go smoother the next time. I've got the clear lenses in and hope to give them a test run on Sunday.

I wore the glasses out yesterday. They did a decent job of keeping the cool morning air out of my eyes (no eye watering). They fit well, and are light weight. I forgot I had them on for the most part, which I guess is a good thing. I'm satisfied with the purchase.

Maddslacker - did you pick up a pair yet?

Based on the picture, I'd say you made the logical choice.
