I guess my post fell out...
I've had 3 sessions with my Forward WIP Evo sunglasses. In clouds and sunny conditions, flat and nearly 2m waves and chop on Hydrofoil.
I can see water better than naked eye.
They fit superbly, available in 3 sizes
Hydrophobic coating really works.
The head cord is elastic, but key point is that it's the right length, not too tight and not flapping around. They come with adjuster if you want them really tight, I don't.
I forget I have them on when riding.
They wont fall off with my helmet on, did some 30 + km/hr falls. Usually glasses fall down my face in falls.
The nose bridge design adjusts to nose because it's only attached at top.
There's plenty of air flowing over brow and under cheeks ( this has been a problem with other glasses).
The wide temples protect glare from side.
I got hit by my board in my left eye while in waves and trying to start, Saved me from black eye or worse, no scratches.
They seem to clean off easy, following directions to never use soap. But wonder what will happen when I start using sunblock on my face...
When I wash them off, I see how well the hydrophobic coating is working - I can just shake off the few drops that remains.
Time will tell how they hold up to abrasion and long use.
At 75€, I think they are " affordable " , but 200€ for LIP are way too much.
