Rimless shield construction solves a common tradeoff in cycling eyewear: oversized frames block debris and wind but trap heat against your face. The Rail from Tifosi eliminates the lower frame edge entirely, allowing unrestricted airflow while maintaining the expansive coverage that shield-style lenses provide. The result is a frame that ventilates as well as smaller glasses while protecting like much larger ones. For riders who have written off shield-style eyewear because of fogging issues, the Rail's open lower edge changes the equation.

Grilamid TR-90 handles frame duties, keeping the Rail at 32 grams despite its generous lens size. The thermoplastic material resists UV damage and chemical exposure while holding its shape over time without becoming brittle. Hydrophilic rubber nose and ear pieces increase grip as perspiration builds, addressing the tendency of lightweight frames to slip during hard efforts or in humid conditions. Both contact points adjust independently to accommodate different face shapes, so the frame sits where you position it rather than settling into whatever configuration gravity prefers.

Each interchange model ships with three polycarbonate lenses covering different light conditions. The Blackout and White/Black colorways include Smoke, AC Red, and Clear options, while the Midnight Navy frame pairs Clarion Yellow with AC Red and Clear. Swapping between them takes seconds once you learn the mechanism, and all Rail interchange lenses work across Rail frame colors if you want to build a collection. The lenses themselves are shatterproof and scratch-resistant, with 100% UVA/UVB protection across all tint levels. The AC Red lens works particularly well as an all-conditions option when light varies throughout a ride.... Read More
