Overall Impressions
The FixieMAX offers maximum coverage and great performance across a full spectrum of sports. We love them for running, cycling, snowboarding, and mountain biking. With their oversized shield style, these impressive glasses offer full coverage and wind deflection even at high speeds. We found the lenses crystal clear and securely attached to a solid frame we didn’t have to worry about while we were out playing.
With crisp, clear lenses, these shades have the ideal gradient. Their subtle shift from dark on top to light on the bottom offers an excellent balance of protection in bright light without any loss in performance in medium and lower lighting. The oversized, rounded wayfarer-ish frames were well-liked by our test team, even considering vastly different facial shapes, sizes, and individual personal styles.
The FixieMAX has crisp lenses with flawless polarization that further cuts down on glare, and they’re one of the only glasses we tested that block 100% of blue light. They offer few back reflections, making them even more appealing to wear in harsh lighting. A secure fit with embedded rubber nose pads keeps them securely in place, while their larger lenses and slight wrap add coverage when you need it most.
And while there’s much we love about their colossal coverage, the FixieMAX are a bit too bulky to fit under lower-profile helmets. But if you wear a higher helmet these are a very versatile and capable pair of sports sunglasses.
We have very few complaints about these stellar glasses, but their look is mildly polarizing. Some of our testing crew love their vibe, while others found them “too sporty” for formal or even casual situations.
