No more squinting! The DPE SL2 bifocal sunglasses enable me to read everything on my bike computer by simply glancing down. The lightweight frames are compact and provide full eye coverage. The nose bridge and overall feel of the SL2 is very comfortable. The DPE SL2 are a must have accessory for all eyesight-challenged riders.

I can see all the numbers on my bike computer!Took a few rides to get used to but once I adjusted they work well on and off the bike.

The 2.5 magnification makes reading my computer so much nicer. Need to find additional lenses.
Review by Old Timer Cyclist
These glasses meet all of my needs. I recently had cataract surgery and now only need glasses to read. With a super price and fast delivery, I couldn't be happier! They're perfect!
Review by SLObiker
This is one of the most useful purchases I have made. I have a problem seeing distance but I can't read anything up close. I showed these glasses to three other bike riders and they ordered the same glasses.

I really like these glasses. They are comfortable and have reading correction. I no longer need to carry an extra pair of glasses
Review by Weekend Road Rider
I first bought Dual SL2 sunglasses a few years ago when I was having trouble reading the smaller numbers on my bicycle computer and iphone. They are light weight and have good optical quality, but eventually the small wear-and-tear scratches have led me to buy a new pair. Same product. I rarely ride without them.

This is my second pair because I foolishly lost my first. The bifocal lens has been very helpful for reading maps, my phone, my odometer, I use them for driving as well as biking. If your distance vision is reasonable but you need help reading, this is a much less expensive way to go than getting prescription sun glasses. They are not the most comfortable pair underneath my helmet, but very very worth it on sunny days.
Review by Seasoned cyclist
These sunglasses are fantastic! They protect my eyes from wind and offer sharp, true colors, plus the tint is not too dark so I can see objects in the shadows. The nose and ear pads keep them from sliding down and the arms are shaped to hold my rear-view mirror perfectly. I can now see my computer in sharp focus and don't have to change glasses to read messages on my phone, menus or cue sheets.
I love these glasses!
Review by Minyanite
I've been waiting for something like this to come along and indeed they work. I normally wear graded lenses and I really can't read without them. Now I can have decent long distance vision through the uncorrected portion of the lens and still look down and read my cyclometer, phone, or map through the bifocal insert. It's a great help. They are probably not the coolest looking or most comfortable pair of sunglasses on the market, but they are the first pair I can really ride and be happy with.

I can't read phone or cue sheets without readers anymore, and these glasses fit well, look good, and last a long time. I've purchased a total of three pair, and use them as general sunglasses, too.

I like these glasses for biking and reading. My wife finds them too hot. This depends on the shape of the face, although a couple of ventilation holes at the top of the lenses might help this drawback.

I can read my bike computer again!
Review by Texas Tom
I like the reading glasses bifocal effect, but not that easy to get used too and the sun and shaddows sometime make reading the cycling computer still very difficult.
Review by Sewbike
Finally, a reasonably priced pair of bifocal sunglasses. These are lightweight, economical, and much simpler than glasses with inserts. These are perfect for clear days when you want to clearly see your cyclometer or cell phone. Strongly recommended.

Review by edrcav
Light and sharp looking! But what makes them so special is the bifocal lens. They assist me to quickly and easily read my bike computer. I also use a small bar-end mirror and the glasses help me keep track of on-coming traffic. Love 'em!
Review by BradF
I like the idea behind these sunglasses, and they work as promised. For those of us who need reading glasses, these are useful in a variety of activities. The price is very reasonable and the fit is excellent. The best news is that they are very light - in fact, the lightest sunglasses I own. The only downside is that the optics are just not as good as the expensive, high quality sunglasses availlable at specialty stores. Given the price, however, I really can't complain.

These glasses are great. I bought them before my 450 mile bike trip and they worked really well. No problems anymore reading my bike computer or a map. When we stopped at a restaurant I could actually see the menu now. They were lightweight and very comfortable. I would recommend them, especially if your reading eyes are getting tired.
