I felt the need for speed (after 30-years of running) and bought a bicycle. The next thing I knew, I was entered in the 20th Anniversary of “Tour de Landle,” a rigorous 8-day, 500-mile bike tour of Southwest Germany.Being a self-confessed sports sunglass snob, upon departure, I deliberately left my Oakley sports glasses at home in Texas—mostly due to bifocal Rx distortion, the perpetual fogging up, and the dark polarized lenses make it difficult to see (in the heavy clouds and shaded areas --to read LED screens and road surfaces) accurately.
At the bikers’ expo on the night before “The TDL,” I focused in on a bright, orange display of a new brand of Rx-able sports glasses called SZIOLS, pronounced “shields” for your eyes.
And, it gets better for those of us who are year-round sports enthusiasts—they have 14 interchangeable lenses (100% UVA, UVB protection), the patented German design-- “ACM,” (air circulation management) is the only sports glasses to eliminate fogging. Then there is the separate insert to insure superior optics and accurate vision, an integrated sweatband, safety and protection standards (tested to meet DIN EN 1836 & ANSI Z80.1) that make them shatterproof and splinter-proof.
The very second I tried them on—the comfort of the aerodynamic German design along with the brilliant clarity of vision—literally hit me right between the eyes.
Now I am the CEO of SZIOLS North America, where we are committed to saving eyes, two at a time—no matter what sport, indoor and outdoor, all year round, worldwide.
You don’t drive a car without a seatbelt, you don’t ride a bike without a helmet, and now you can see and be seen with SZIOLS/”shields for your eyes.”

Many times I'm asked for endorsement. For the first time, I am blown away by what I found out. I was asked to try out the SZIOLS Sports Glasses. As it turned out, every day of the ski trip, it snowed hard and I kept waiting for a clear day to try them. On the last day, I simply had to try them. Worse yet, it was snowing so hard I thought I'd wear them for seconds without giving them a fair shake.
It turned out that they were nothing short of amazing. Any skier will tell you-- you never wear glasses when skiing in snowy conditions. Until now. The SZIOLS Sports Glasses are incredible. They perform like goggles without the hot, foam casing. Moreover, they worked better than my high-end goggle in flat light. The XPed lens brought out the subtleties in the slope. Never in my skiing career have I taken my goggles off and switched to glasses in a snow storm.
In ANY conditions, the SZIOLS Sports Glasses are better than ANY brand I have ever tried. And I've tried them all. They are simply an extraordinary combination of design and functionality in snow, sun, humid, cold condition you can have.

TO THE PEOPLE AT SZIOLS:SINCE RECEIVING MY SZIOLS SPORTS GLASSES IN SUNDANCE I HAVE USED THEM ALMOST EVERYDAY FOR EITHER RIDING OR RUNNING. THESE GLASSES NOT ONLY LOOK GREAT, FEEL GREAT BUT ARE THE BEST DESIGNED SPORTS GLASSES FOR ACTIVE PLAY THAT I HAVE WORN IN A VERY LONG TIME. NOT ONLY ARE THE GLASSES FANTASTIC BUT THE PEOPLE WHOM I HAVE MET AT SUNDANCE, SUCH AS KELLY SIMPSON ARE A BIG REASON WHY I WOULD REFER THESE GLASSES TO ANYONE FOR EITHER WORK, PLAY OR LEISURE. YOU GUYS HAVE A GREAT PRODUCT BUT EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE A TERRIFIC STAFF! I LOOK FORWARD TO WEARING SZIOLS IN MY NEXT FILM!

Greetings from the second home office of SZIOLS.de in Zurich, Switzerland--where the new product, XPED was conceived and designed for year-round mountain sports activities. High-tech, light-weight, fog-resistant, and Rx-able --and ready for those who demand complete wind and sun protection, the XPED is ready for immediate consumption and enjoyment in the U.S.A. and wunderlusts worldwide.
Two days ago, on an unseasonably warm (42-degrees F), winter afternoon, I tested the new SZIOLS equipment on a magnificent cross-country ski course near Lake Zurich. The fact that SZIOLS has engineered adjustments for a total of 5-levels is especially significant for narrow face like mine. The fit is noticeably protective from my forehead to cheeks. Once I got back into the rhythm and the speed of the cross-country skis attached to the other end of my body, I began to perspire and coincidentally heat up the lenses of my new XPEDs. Never fear, the bottom rim of the frame is cleverly and easily removable. And, viola--fog is banished!
Unless of course, you succumb to the Swiss apres ski tradition of piping hot fondue --like I did. And, you don’t want to take your new SZIOLS XPED glasses off. They will fog up, inside, when you go into the warm lodge, and, when you are marveling at the beautiful fondue that is steaming at your table-- with a delicious aroma that I recommend for a totally sensory experience. Encore.
