During high sunlight the lenses become a bit too dark for technical ice work. Other than that they perform very well in other activities. I have tried them while telemarking and they worked well with blocking cold air as well.

They stay firmly in place due to adjustable temples even during dynamic activities. Very comfortable, they provide great protection when used with side shields.
