Best Cycling Sunglasses On AliExpress - Kapvoe Photochromic Review
These are in my opinion the best cycling sunglasses on AliExpress that I could find. For the price, compared to my Oakley Sutro Lites, $25-30 CAD gets you a pair of UV400 Photochromic sunglasses that look and feel awesome.
I'm always on the hunt for low cost, high quality gear, and these sunglasses surprised me. Kapvoe, keep them coming!
Correction: these are the KE9023

Also just got the same model from kapvoe, got the one that has replaceable lenses though, cause I'm afraid the photochromic don't get as dark, but seems like it's the same. Another great vid btw. Just like the one featuring ykyw cycling kits. Keep it up!

I was skeptical too but they turned out alright and seem dark enough in the sunlight. Loving that I don’t have to change the lens. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for review!
Just got mine and watching this video as I'm checking mine out. Same pair. Worth every penny I'd buy them again which is why I might buy another pair for my father who does plenty of outdoor stuff

Thanks for the feedback! They're definitely a great buy at the price. Let me know how it works out.
Great review! Just got mine and don’t know if you found out yet, but you can also adjust the nose bridge 2 positions with a nice clicking action.

Ah good to know! Thanks for the tip, will have to try it out 👍
Nice man! thanks
Thx for your review. As usual, I ordered, received, then decided to see other people's reviews! It's been overcast & raining. Got mine on Amazon, on a flash sale. 👍
Hey, nice video thanks, but are they good at night?
what if in aero position? it is still visible?
Also bought the same 2 pairs, will try. I have Ruby now (from Italy) and wanted something bigger and not for 200 euros.

I haven’t tested them in the dark/night, but I think they could still work
How can we be sure there is an uv protection ? Create video Thks about it 👍
I have them and they don't go dark enough in the bright sun, and they stay tinted even in low UV conditions in winter. Only in complete darkness or inside they are clear. So not the best but usable..
Hi what is the colour of the lens as you look through them....are they a blue hue and is it a pleasant vibrant colour i.e. do landscape colours look good/vibrant. I tried some other Aliexpress non photochromatic glasses with orange mirror lenses and they have a horrible blue hue that washes out all colour, so I'm curious to know how these are.....cheers.

Hello, I'd say that when they're used in low light, the lens have a slight blue hue to them and a bit on the darker side. I think that's the compromise with these style of photochromic sunglasses and mirror lens, but for the price I can't go wrong!
What cheaper alternatives sunglasses are most similar to the Oakley sutro lite? These or the Hawk HDs? Or any others you might know?
@henrychungfitness

I’d say the Hawk HD are the better option. The clarity of the lens for the Outdoor Master sunglasses are pretty high quality 🤙
Just got mine in post feel there abit big for my head went to change to the polarised lense but the black Lens isnt a good fit it rattles about like it's needing glued in! The orange red lens that was on it is fine they are slightly different sizes my hair but enough to knock the lense loose but will see how they do on the bike! I don't care about the others just the clear and black polarised lens for migraine glare as lost my prescription ones and was quicker to order a pair of these till my appointment in 4 months!

I always wonder about the safety of these cheap glasses. What happens if i have a big crash and the glass breaks? Does it break and splinter agressievely? Or just bend? My eyes are precious

If you have such concerns then I suggest you get shades that are Ansi Z87.1 rated, this are glasses that are standard issue for the military and are ballistic rated. Pyramex and ESS are pretty affordable, and if you want to spent more Oakley also made one such as their M Frame series

Probably a dumb question, but will they old turn colored with sun or also just clear afternoon weather?

It should turn even with clear afternoon weather, but will turn tinted most with the sun.
Would you recommend buying straight from Kapvoe?

Which colour is most recommended to intense sunlight?

Sorry I’m not sure what the best colour would be for intense sunlight. Might be worth reaching out to the company?

If you know your entire run will be in sunlight, I'd just use normal glasses. These shine even you're starting or finishing with low light but know you'll have sun during the ride
What about reflections and do they fog? They look pretty good.
@henrychungfitness

If you mean glare, I haven't really noticed it. As for fog build up, I haven't been able to test them. They seem like a solid pair for the money, and also they're supposedly UV400 rated.
dang, that's value.

Do they really protect from the sun as they say so?

These sunglasses never darken beyond a slight tint. Not really photochromic. You have to photograph them in a certain angle to get that deceptive "darkening"

I have a pair and they're nearly as good as my prescription transition glasses before I got Lasik.
