Unless you want to wear goggles, no other eyewear offers close to the coverage and field of view as the Devours making them one of the best options out on the trail. If you're looking for the biggest sunglasses, whether it's for style or protection from eye-poking, the Devours are going to be at the top of the list. Theres a lot of ventilation around the lenses for added airflow (Image credit: Graham Cottingham) Verdict The clear lenses were particularly bad for stubborn fingerprints that were tricky to clean off. Despite the claimed oleophobic treatment, the lenses were prone to fingerprints. The tears weren’t the only things I was having to clean off the lenses. To the point that I needed to clean the tears from the lenses between some trails. It’s a bit too effective though and, as someone who suffers badly from watery eyes when riding, I found the Devours to be too breezy when riding at speed. The combination of the front vents and set-back frames quickly takes care of any potential fogging – especially if your helmet has channeling across the brow. There is plenty of flex in the frame which means the process doesn't require force or manhandling either. Refitting the lens is equally as straightforward – line up the lens in the bottom four fixtures before pressing it into the frame. Swapping the lenses is an extremely simple process, with six hooks holding the lens in place it's just a matter of popping the lens out the top two and removing the lens. Although the lenses are wide, the narrow frame shape sits close to the face and avoids any interference with deep-fitting helmets. The fit is very comfortable and they stayed in place well when rattling down the trail. The size means there is loads of coverage and the extended edges add a good amount of side protection too. I thought the lens size might cause issues with non-POC helmets but there have been no problems so far with any of the helmets I have tried. The field of view is second to none though and you really have to strain your eyeballs into the peripherals to see the frames. With such a huge lens, it's no surprise that the Devours feel considerably bigger than any other pair of sunglasses I have worn.
