Gerhardc Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Hey guys and girls, I am just your average Joe Cyclist, who has ridden a few road and mountainbike races over the years! I must be honest that I am a bit of a quality freak and I just love products that make life easier for cyclists!! In this list I include brands like ASSOS, CamelBak, pOcpac, Stan's tubeless sealant.....amongst other! I am also one of those people that wear spectacles, but when I do sport activities or when I am at the beach or swimming, I do wear contact lenses. I have used various brands and types of contact lenses throughout my life….permanent contact lenses, monthly contact lenses, etc…. , but recently I have stumbled upon a brand new type of contact lens that have really blown my mind!! I obtained some Free Trial Lenses from my optometrist made by Alcon with the name…..DAILIES TOTAL 1. I received a box of 5 daily lenses for my right eye and another box for my left eye. Over the past weekend, I did a 3 day mountainbike stage race in Colesberg, named Y2Karoo. This, I thought would be an ideal opportunity to try out my free sample contacts on the dry, dusty single tracks in this Karoo town!! My first impression after fitting my right eye contact lens was that I almost could not feel that there is anything in my eye!! I actually had to double check whether it (the contact lens) was indeed in my eye!! AMAZING!! Not the slightest irritation or uncomfortable feeling in my eye! Every day, I completed the day’s stage and wore the lenses till before bedtime each day!! In the past, I used to remove other types of contact lenses immediately after a race stage, because of my eyes itching, feeling heavy or being really red and scratchy!!! This was not even remotely the case with these new DAILIES!! I am not being paid or sponsored to write or tell you about this new contact lens!! Hahaha!! Also, I have no clue about the technology behind this awesome contact lens…..I just know that it works and feels amazingly comfortable!! I also hope that this review may help and assist some other “spectacle wearing” cyclists!! Go ahead, contact your optometrist and get some free trial DAILIES Total 1 contacts!! I am definitely going to invest in some DAILIES Total 1 for my future mountainbike races and rides!!!
Underachiever Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Cool, I use J&J Aqua (whatever) and they are great, but I think they were discontinued! Will wear the for a month or so with no hassles. Will give the Alcon's a try!
