Customer Reviews
I literally broke the arm off the first time I tried to put them on my face. Overall I like the look, style and concept. But they seemed to be sized for a much smaller face than mine.
We reached out and fully refunded Warren. Upon investigating, we determined that we had received a shipment of faulty glasses from our supplier and we proceeded to pull inventory until further notice
Updated: when I reached out to 1000 Epics about the faulty glasses they quickly responded and offered either a full refund or to replace the glasses. I was impressed by their quick response and commitment to their product. I decided on the replacement because I really did want to try their product. They sent me TWO replacement pairs (over and above). Customer service 12/10. They are super confident in their product and I am sure I will love these glasses now that I have a non-faulty pair.
Original review: These fell off the kitchen counter and the arm broke. It was such a gentle fall and does not give me a lot of confidence in these as athletic glasses.
We've been in contact and we shipped them a replacement pair of glasses free of charge after reviewing their warranty claim.
Sweet glasses
I spent some time looking for glasses and settled on these. The cost is amazing considering the good quality. They look really sharp as well. Don’t hesitate . Try these out. I use them exclusively for MTB in Texas so the vented lenses are crucial.
I've had these for a little while now and finally got around to wearing them. They are absolutely worthless. They say photochromic in the advertising and on the lenses, but these are essentially clear glasses. I tried wearing them on 2 bluebird spring days in Colorado, and there is a barely noticeable change in the light transmission. These are not sunglasses. They are just glasses. Is it too late for a refund?
Hey Jay,
The glasses are not expected to get as dark as sun glasses but it sounds you the pair you received may have been defective. We offer hassle-free returns on unused glasses within 30 days and we also stand behind our gear with a solid warranty. Please visit our returns page to see how you can initiate a return.

Frequently Asked Questions
How dark does the lens get?
The photochromic lens tints when it's exposed to the sun. Since they are meant for mountain biking in and out of the forest, the tint it not super dark. A typical pair of dark sunglasses will have a darker tint than the lens of the Trail Boss Photochromic Biking Glasses but this much tint is not optimal for mountain biking in the forest
Why use a photochromic lens for mountain biking?
You ride through changing weather conditions for most of the year in the Pacific NorthWest. So it's good to have a lens that is clear when it's dark in the forest and tints when your ripping through clear cuts and cliff edges.
Why not use a photochromic lens?
The lens transitions slower in cold weather. Most noticable on clear cold winter days on Vancouver Island. If your trail is in and out of the forest, the glasses can feel over-tinted when you get back in the forest
Do they work well in cold weather?
The photochromic lens tints and un-tints slower the colder the weather gets. Below freezing the glasses may not tint
What about night riding
The lens only tints when exposed to sunlight. So they work for night rides
Photochromic or polarized?
Both are good in different conditions
The photochromic lens is good value because it's good for riding all year
Polarized lens is better on sunny days in the summer
What about adding a perscription lens?
Not yet,
Please let us know if you are interested,
We will look into it if we get enough feedback
