Customer Reviews of Dr. Dean Edell Invisible Bi-Focal Rimless Sunglass Reader, Dark Amber with Mirror Lens, +2.00
Customer Review: Too flimsy for motorcycle GPS use
Summary: 2 Stars
I have a Garmin Zumo 550 GPS mounted on my BMW K1200GT motorcycle but at age 65, I have to squint to read the display. Worse, it takes a longer look to gather the pertinent information from my GPS, which means my eyes aren't on the road as they should be.
Halfway through a 5,000-mile ride through the West last month, I was visiting my son in Portland, Ore. and he suggested doing a search on Amazon.com for bifocal sunglasses. We did and, voila, the Dr. Dean Edell Invisible Bi-Focal sunglasses turned up. This was on a Monday and I planned to leave for California early Wednesday morning. There were only a few minutes left to get next-day delivery on my order, so there was no time to run down to the drugstore and try on reading glasses to determine the correct power. So I guessed at +2.0. The UPS guy brought them the next day and I was delighted to find I had guessed right. They take all of the hassle out of using my GPS while riding and are a pleasure to use.
I'm ecstatic to have this problem solved so inexpensively.
The only downside is they need soft nosepads for extended wear and are a little awkward for walking around and climbing stairs.
TWO WEEKS LATER:
I'm revising my review and dropping my rating from five stars down to two. Why?
Because the cheap plastic temples are too flimsy. I was preparing to ride home from the BMW dealer, 150 miles from my home. I donned my fullface Arai helmet and tried to put my sunglasses on when the left temple snapped. I guess these are fine as long as you handle them very carefully, but they're just not up to constant motorcycle use.
I have since bought a similar product on Amazon.com from Dewalt - the Dewalt DPG59-220C Reinforcer Rx-Bifocal 2.0 Smoke Lens High Performance Protective Safety Glasses with Rubber Temples and Protective Eyeglass Sleeve. The rubber temples are more than adequate and the lenses offer better wind protection than did the Edell shades. And the Dewalt product is only $12.55, versus $19.99 for the Edell product.Dewalt DPG59-220C Reinforcer Rx-Bifocal 2.0 Smoke Lens High Performance Protective Safety Glasses with Rubber Temples and Protective Eyeglass Sleeve
