Does anyone here ride in Melon Optics glasses?  And if so do you have the Kingpin or Alleycat, and if you’ve tried both which do you prefer?

Also has anyone tried their Vantage lenses as I’m after a pair that i can use in sun and wooded areas on the same ride?

Cheers

I have the Alleycats, and I find them excellent except the anti-loss function does not work at all. If you find a set with smoke lenses and a grey frame somewhere up Les Arcs, they're mine. Or a black set with clear lens on my local trails, those are mine too

Best recommendation I can give is that I am still delighted with my third pair. And Melon did give me a discount to buy the replacements.

Can't speak for the kingpin, but other than styling preference, I don't see why you'd want a frame versus frameless for biking.

I have the Alleycat with, amongst other lenses, the photochromic which is great.  They work really well with a Fox Speedframe, on my noggin anyway.

I have the kingpin - totally forget I am wearing them & they work well.

Will be asking for the photochromic lens for Christmas
