POC has long been a trailblazer of cycling’s frontier of fashion and functionality. The DO Half Blade Sunglasses mark another provocative offering by the Swedish company that’ll reward you with a wider field of vision so you can take in the periphery and soak in all the double-takes the DO Half Blades inspire. The glasses’ frames are made with a lightweight and durable synthetic material known as grilamid. To ensure that the frames stay securely in place, no matter how much you sweat, POC uses hydrophilic rubber inserts on the nose and temple. The Zeiss lenses feature Ripel and anti-fog treatments that repels water, dirt, and other grime to keep your view clear. The oversized frames, coupled with the absent bottom rim, expands your lower and peripheral vision, and the lenses’ tint is designed to enhance contrasts on the road’s surface to help you spot (and avoid) any oncoming hazards without having to break pace.

These glasses fits perfectly and the clarity and wide field of vision of the lenses let you see your surroundings in sharp detail and contrast, with your eyes fully protected from the elements. The build seems sturdy enough with proper use and care. Btw, I ordered a Cannodale Green/Uranium Black/Violet Silver Mirror (at 50% discount) and was surprised that it came with a clear spare lens, which I did not expect. And I think these glasses looks awesome...I love it!

I've never worn proper cycling glasses before. I wear prescription glasses for distance vision, so I've always just gone with those for cycling. I decided I needed a lot more coverage recently when riding in the rain. Gusting winds blew the drops around my glasses and stung my eyes something fierce. I try to avoid looking like some Tour de France wannabe, so I started with POC's Do Flow glasses -- full frames that look like regular sunglasses. Those drove me nuts. The frames were so thick, they impaired my peripheral vision. And they fit so snugly to my face, they fogged over at every stop. Having learned my lesson, I ordered up the Half Blades. Love 'em. The minimal frame doesn't impede my vision in any way. And there's plenty of coverage despite the lens not being that deep. Haven't had a chance to wear them in torrential rain, but in light rain no water gets past them. They don't fog over, either — a benefit of being frameless on the bottom edge. As others have mentioned, they fit perfectly with my POC helmet, an Omne Air Spin. All in all, very satisfied so far.

This is fit with POC Tectal Race Spin Helmet perfectly. I feel like that I don't put on the sunglass.

I like not having the frame on the bottom of the lense as my field of vision is cleaner. They fit great with POC MTB and road helmets.

These glasses look SO good, especially when paired with a Poc helmet. I bought the dark blue version for my fiance, and he loves them. The color is matte and a nice change from his former white Poc sunglasses. Only downside on these is that the lenses aren't so easy to change, and when you are changing them, it feels like you're going to break the frame.

I love how these glasses fit. I have tried alot of different sunglasses and these are by far my most favorite. The tint is great and they are protective.

I am a triathlete and outdoor enthusiast so I ask a lot of a pair of sunglasses. Having used sporty cheap, midrange, and casual sunglasses for a long time I finally jumped on these bad boys. Firstly they feel incredibly light and have very precisely shaped contact patches on the nose and temple pieces which don't rub too much but keep the glasses firmly in place. Secondly, the size of the lenses is just right - covering your entire field of vision without hitting your cheek. They come with a mid-tint lens colored for road vision contrast and a clear lens which is a great deal! Lastly they are super light. You really don't notice you're wearing glasses - you just feel protected. Styling is super subjective so I'll leave that to you but I found it nice to be sporty without looking too aggressive. The dark blue color is almost black so it will match many outfits.

This is my second pair of POC glasses from the DO Blade family and I do like this version better, the Half Blade. By taking away the lower frame, the glasses are less obtrusive in terms of coverage and the frame doesn't rest directly on my face. Also, these are a seamless fit with the POC Octal helmet and they even fit nicely into the front vent for storage when climbing. The Navy Black frames came with a spare lens (clear), although I don't believe every frame color comes with the two pair of lenses.

These glasses were a splurge for me. Glad I purchased them. The lenses are what make the glasses worth the cost. Everything is clear and crisp. Unfortunately, the uranium glasses did not come with a clear lense. I did purchase a clear lense shortly after my purchase. That is why I gave the 4 star rating instead of 5. They fit well with a POC helmet and the lenses are easy to change out.
