Tifosi Moab Lite: Final Review

 Note: Tifosi Optics sent the Moab Lite model eyewear to Guitar Ted Productions at no charge for test/review. I am not being paid nor bribed for this review and all opinions expressed are my own.

A couple of months ago I received the Tifosi Moab Lite glasses to review. If you missed the introduction, please go back and read it HERE. In the first review I gave my thoughts on this new model in Tifosi's range  Then I sent the Moab Lite off to my friend,, Morgan, to get her take on the glasses. 

Morgan is a recreational cyclist who does a few gravel events and used these on several rides on gravel and pavement. She also took them on the most recent RAGBRAI event, a week long trek across Iowa with approximately 20,000+ other cyclists. 

Now that RAGBRAI is over, I asked Morgan to write up her impressions on the Moab Lite glasses. I did not edit or guide her in any manner concerning these thoughts of hers. These are Morgan's own thoughts and opinions on the glasses from Tifosi.

With that, read on for her thoughts and I will come back with a final verdict at the end. 

Tifosi Moab Lite Review by Morgan Osgood

These are great quality, affordable glasses, and with all the extras included, you definitely get more bang for your buck. The set comes with three interchangeable lenses, a hardshell case, and a cleaning bag.

I’ve been wearing them on rides for about a month now, and they’ve quickly become my go to pair. I love that they’re super lightweight but still offer solid shield style coverage. They’re also really comfortable. I’ve worn them on long rides and even all day without any issues. The frameless bottom gives you a nice, uninterrupted line of sight, which I appreciate.

The interchangeable lenses are great for different lighting conditions, but I’ll admit I never think to swap them out before leaving the house. It’s usually a grab and go situation. If you're like me and don’t plan ahead, maybe the Fototec lenses might be a better fit. That said, I do plan to make more of an effort to actually use the lens options in the future.

The only small issue I ran into was removing the nose piece when changing lenses. It was a little tricky the first few times, but probably just something I’ll get used to.

Overall, I’m really happy with these glasses and would recommend them.

Final Verdict:

It should be plain to see Tifosi has the value/budget balance pretty well figured out. Three lenses, pretty great optics, and fashion styling at a decent price which is on-point for today's riders adds up to a pair of glasses which is hard to go wrong with.

One thing Morgan brought up which I had forgotten until I read her review was the difficulty in removing the nose piece. I think it may have been one of the most difficult ones I've come across to remove. This may be an anomaly specific to our review sample, so without a larger sample size, it is but one data point. Still, something of note, I think.

Bottom line here is the Moab Lite is another hit in a long line of hits from Tifosi.  Of course, if the Moab Lite is not your cup of tea, many of the same features can be had in other models from Tifosi's diverse range of offerings. 

Thanks to Morgan Osgood for taking the time to try these out and write up her impressions afterward.
