Hello from Burlington, Vermont! This weekend, I’m taking a stab at the Vermont City Marathon (another discussion for after Memorial Day) and I’ll be doing it with some specs from a BibRave favorite partner, XX2i. Awhile back, I got to test out (and immediately loved), the XX2i USA1, so I was excited to try some Hawaii 1s with the Honolulu Marathon now on my race list for December!

USA1 Sunglasses on the left, Hawaii1 sunglasses on the right

The Hawaii1 sunglasses are a lighter weight than the USA1s and have thinner frames. Easy to adjust to your face and you sometimes forget that you’re wearing them. One of the things I’m still working on is that they slip some on my face.

Since the weather’s been nice out and it’s been staying lighter longer, I’ve been able to get in some runs outside after work.

The Hawaii1s stayed in place fairly well during my runs. I’m working to figure how to adjust them just a touch, as they tended to slide some down my nose. They come with 3 different colored frames, but one colored lenses (no big deal!). I wore them out with some wireless headphones that also go over your ears to stay in place. Stayed in place, no problem! Also, I always wear my hair in a ponytail. I have no issues with hair and fly aways getting caught in the temple arms

Specifics about these fine little sunglasses:

• lightweight
• made out of carbon fiber!
• bendable nose piece
• rubber temple piece
• lifetime warranty
• 365 day return policy [but honestly, why would you want to?!]

The nitty gritty and where to find them:

• Cost: $124.99
• Website: http://www.xx2i.com/collections/hawaii1/products/
• Free shipping in the United States

If the fact that I have 2 pairs of XX1i sunglasses isn’t enough to sway you, would 50% off with XX2iROCKS hopefully will.  Join us on Tuesday 5/31 for Bibchat at 9/8 EST/CST with XX2i!
