<\/p>\n

I have several sets of sunglasses in my gear bag. Full disclosure, all of them have been sent to me, either for review or projects I\u2019m working on. A few of them are from more expensive brands and retail for $200-$300.<\/p>\n

And then there are the Tifosi Moab sunglasses<\/a> I have that retail for a fraction of the price. If I\u2019m being honest, I\u2019m not sure if I ever really notice a difference.<\/p>\n

For friends asking me for a recommendation under $100, I usually direct them toward Tifosi. And after trying a handful of pairs, the Moabs are a top favorite of mine. Now, Tifosi offers the Moabs in a frameless, XC version, appropriately dubbed the \u201cMoab XC.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSlimmer\u201d definitely isn\u2019t the correct word to describe the new Moab XC, as they are actually overall larger than the originals. While Tifosi ditched the frame on the new glasses, the overall size has grown, albeit by very thin margins. <\/p>\n

Moab (left) and Moab XC (right)…um, not to scale…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From end to end, the Moab XCs are 0.6mm wider and nearly 1mm taller. However, the actual lens width has shrunk from 138mm (Moab) to 130.8mm (Moab XC). <\/p>\n

And, of course, Tifosi ditched the full-frame design. This dropped the weight of the Moab XC sunglasses to a claimed 29g. While it is less than the Moab\u2019s claimed 31g weight, Steve\u2019s review actually had them closer to 34g.<\/p>\n

So, we imagine the Moab XC weight is a bit higher than what Tifosi says. But will you notice an extra gram or two? Likely not.<\/p>\n

Tifosi uses a Grilamid TR-90 frame on the new Moab XC sunglasses. They feature hydrophilic rubber on the adjustable ear and nose pieces for comfort and added grip. Tifosi also uses polycarbonate lenses that are shatterproof and scratch-resistant.<\/p>\n

Three lens options are available, with some overlap among them. First, Tifosi offers the Moab XC in their standard three-lens interchangeable setup. They also have a Clarion lens, which repels sweat and moisture, as well as a Fototec lens, Tifosi\u2019s take on photochromic. <\/p>\n

Clarion lenses offer different color options for high- and low-light conditions, with interchangeable clear lenses. Neither of the Fototec lens options comes with a clear lens, as they, well, are fairly clear in low light settings. <\/p>\n

The Tifosi Fototec lens Moab XC sunglasses retail for $89.95, while all the other options retail for $79.95. See all the details and options at tifosioptics.com<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
