Tifosi Breast Cancer Awareness Collection Review

I was excited to try some of the Tifosi Breast Cancer Awareness Collection. I’m already a big fan of Tifosi, and I believe their sunglasses are some of the best value of any brand. They sell several different tiers of sunglasses, and their $25 is the same quality as their $125.

Anyway, recently they launched the pink collection, which is the Breast Cancer Awareness Collection. Ok, so what does that do? A portion of proceeds from the collection is donated to the Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation, a leader in breast cancer research and education.

About Tifosi:

Tifosi has been around in the running world for years. In 2003, Tifosi created an eyewear brand for quality, style, function, and value. It’s now the #1 selling eyewear brand in specialty cycling stores. Tifosi makes several models of running sunglasses as well as cycling and casual. Their $25 sunglasses don’t scratch easily, and they don’t bounce while running. I’ve used several styles of Tifosi sunglasses, and I can say they are some of the best in the industry despite not being expensive. You don’t have to spend a fortune on good sunglasses.

Tifosi makes several models of running sunglasses, including:

Tifosi Swank
Tifosi Swank XL (as the name suggests, bigger than the original Swank)
Tifosi Swick ($25)
Tifosi Smoove ($25)
Tifosi Svago ($25) Rounded lenses (I wish the Svago looked good on my face)
Tifosi Swank SL ($25) is a Lighter, more streamlined version of the Swank
Tifosi Shwae ($35) aviator style
Tifosi Sledge ($79.95) wraparound style

My Experience with the Tifosi Breast Cancer Awareness Collection:

I am already a big Tifosi fan, so I wasn’t surprised I would like these styles too. I tried a couple of their styles that I knew fit well and performed just as well on the run.

Sizzle: The Sizzle is a newer style, and it fits well. The pink mirror is shatterproof with 100% UVA/UVB protection. It also has hydrophilic rubber nose pads that increase grip the more you sweat. So you don’t have to worry about them sliding around. The Breast Cancer Awareness Collection Sizzle is one of my favorite sunglasses to run in the desert sun because it prevents so much light, and you don’t have to worry about sliding around. I like how sporty the Sizzle looks for running too.

Swank: The Swank is Tifosi’s signature sunglasses, so it makes sense they would make a pair of the Breast Cancer Awareness Collection Swank too. I appreciate it’s lightweight, cute, and has 100% UVA/UVB protection. You don’t have to worry about it sliding around when you’re running. Plus, they can be worn casually, and right now, these are the perfect sunglasses for casual wear.

I’ve run in both pairs with no issues with them sliding, falling, or bouncing. Not bouncing is a huge deal, and it can be so annoying when they do. Luckily I have yet to have an issue with Tifosi products doing that. The other thing I appreciate about Tifosi glasses is how resistant their lenses are. No one likes or wants a big scratch on their lens, so it’s nice you can drop them without that fear (obviously not ideal), but it’s nice not having to worry as much.

Cost:

Each Tifosi Breast Cancer Awareness Collection sunglasses are $29.95, with the Sizzle $34.95.

Tifosi Breast Cancer Awareness Collection Conclusion:

In all, I’m a big fan. Tifosi makes great sunglasses, and I appreciate the Breast Cancer Awareness Collection give back to the Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation.
