Alternative to Goodr?

[stephm0188]

I love them. They don't bounce or hurt my head, so it's a win.

But they don't do well in the rain. I wore one pair to my son's baseball game and it rained briefly. It left speckles on my lenses where it took off the coating. Customer service is sending me a new pair of lenses. Wore my other pair to a game tonight, and same situation- it rained a bit and they're ruined. 

So what's out there that will hold up?

Love my Goodr as well. Some other good options here:

Tifosi. I wore mine in the rain the other day running, no issues.

Has anyone else has issues with Goodrs breaking? I just had my third pair break on me and I've never had this issue with other sunglasses, including the cheap giveaway ones. I don't know if it's the design or if I'm just extra hard on them.

Try Tifosi. They are really great glasses for the price point. They also have a really good warranty. They have some styles that look more like casual style sunglasses if you don't like the look of sports glasses.

(Disclaimer: My team is sponsored by Tifosi, but I wore them for years. I now have to wear prescription and currently sport a pair of prescription Oakleys.)

I bought a pair of Goodr glasses because I liked the color options and thought they were fun and a cheap price point, but I just went back to my Tifosis. They have some new goodr-ish style models, so I bought one of those because I don't love the wraparound running glasses. So far, so good. The Goodr lenses didn't hold up well, the coating started wearing off and they scratched really easily.


ETA: these are the ones I bought

I've got the Tifosi Swanks and a bunch of Goodrs. No problems with breaking or scratching on either. Or fogging up. I like both and my only complaint is since they don't sit close to my eyes so at certain times of the day, I get the sun in my eyes and can't see. I just really hate the look of wraparound glasses and refuse to wear them. It's not my look.

Mine haven't broken, but I did have a pair that the lens keeps popping out. I purchased them at my LRS, who replaced them (but they told me they do get comped from Goodr for it on their end). I subsequently found the lens in my backyard so now I use that pair for backups.

I have Goodr, Tifosi, and Blender sunglasses and honestly I like the Goodrs the least out of the three. The others hold up a ton better and don't fog up as much.

Ive heard good things about knockarounds but havent tried them for myself.

I got a pair of Tifosi Swanks based on recommendations from this board and I’m very happy with them. I’ve worn them in the pouring down rain and have had no issues, and they stay on my face during long runs. I compared them and Goodr side by side and they felt more high quality for the same price.

The tifosi wayfarer style is a good choice, but honestly a lot of the styles of tifosi are not sure to me and one pair I had hurt my ears lol.

Also, they are much more expensive, but I have a pair of Rokas..the konas. They are outstanding glasses. They have some in the bargain bin now for half price.

They are super comfortable, super tough, scratch resistant, look good. I love them.

I want to get the oslos next.
