Sweet Protection Memento RIG Reflect Sunglasses Review
The Sweet Protection Memento RIG Reflect is a sport performance sunglass that represents progressive and casual styling. This sunglass is designed to be used by athletes.
RIG Lens
The Memento features RIG® – a revolutionary lens technology developed by Sweet Protection to provide superior contrast enhancing vision, minimum color distortion and reduced eye fatigue.
The first time I put on the Sweet Protection Memento sunglasses I stepped outside for sunrise and was taken back by the clarity of the lens. The next thing I noticed as I sat down to drink my piping hot cup of coffee was that as I took a sip the lens fogged, but immediately the fog disappeared. That was the last time I’ve been able to fog these glasses up! That is impressive considering I’ve been pedaling a ton in 90 degree heat, sweating but never fogging. A true blessing.
Range of Vision
The range of vision out of this sunglass is incredible as well. The full protection design limits shedding tears and getting dirt flung into your eyes as you shred downhill. On a hot day at the bike park you could easily use these versus goggles and feel completely protected. The lens have held up well, with no scratches even when busting thru some branches.
The fit is easily customizable as well. The Sweet Protection Memento comes with 3 different rubber nose fits that easily plug in to find the perfect fit.
