Hi, I have a pair of Tifosi zoom with insert[glasses $30, insert $15,
lenses $80]and with the addition of two small pads midway across each
lense, on the top. they work fine. I started with the Tifosi because
it was an inexpensive way to try out inserts.
I now have a pair of Rudy Project Kerosene Premiums w/insert. Those I
had made up with progressive bifocal. The only time I found that I
really need the bifocals, while riding, is the occassional repair,
such as a flat tire, etc.
I like both pair and I have had no problems, with either.


Life is Good!
Jeff
