Tifosi Vogel XC sunglasses perfect for smaller faces

By Henry Howard

While protecting one’s eyes from the sun’s harmful rays is important throughout the year, it’s even more critical now thanks to the sun being out even longer.

When I head out on daylight runs and bike rides, I always have a pair of Tifosi Optics on hand —or rather, on head. I have a good collection of Tifosi sunglasses, including a new version, the Vogel XC, the latest evolution in the popular Vogel series.

Designed with smaller face profiles in mind, the new Vogel XC offers a streamlined fit and enhanced airflow, featuring new bottom lens vents to help prevent fogging during intense activity.

Weighing just 24 grams, the Vogel XC features a rimless design, Grilamid TR-90 frames, and shatterproof, scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses. Available in six lens combinations, including AC Red, which improves contrast in overcast conditions, the Vogel XC is versatile enough to handle a range of environments and light conditions.

“The Vogel XC is designed for athletes who want the bold style and full coverage of shield technology, but in a more compact and lightweight frame,” Joe Earley, owner of Tifosi Optics, said in a press release. “We recognized that not everyone prefers oversized eyewear, and some athletes value a featherweight option that doesn’t compromise on performance or aesthetics. With its tailored fit and enhanced airflow, the Vogel XC offers a solution that feels as good as it looks.”

Tifosi Vogel XC review

As a runner and cyclist, I appreciate Tifosi's technology which ensures the sunglasses stay in place as well as protect my eyes from the sun. As a smaller human, I appreciate the efforts Tifosi made in creating stylish eyewear that better fits my face.

Here are six reasons why the Tifosi Vogel XC sunglasses stand out:

• Very comfortable: I love the fit and feel of the Vogel XC. The sunglasses are perfect for smaller faces.

• Lens technology: The lens are made from shatterproof polycarbonate, ensuring crystal-clear vision even in the toughest environments. The vented design increases airflow, preventing fogging and keeping you focused no matter the intensity.

• Very lightweight: The frames only weigh 24 grams.

• No slip: The hydrophilic rubber nose pieces provide an anti-bounce and no-slip grip – the more you perspire, the more they grip.

• Protective case: The sunglasses come with a zippered hardshell case. This is incredibly handy and keep the sunglasses safe if you are packing them for a trip or just storing them between uses.

• Affordable: These are priced at just under $40.
