The snag with the fit of the "Bot 2" sports glasses from Out Of: Problem solved
29.1.2025
Translation: machine translated
The "Bot 2" sports glasses from Out Of have a catch: they don't sit properly on my nose and constantly slide down a little. That's a shame, because the glasses would otherwise be an interesting option for various sports. The manufacturer has responded and brought out a version with adjustable temples. Conclusion: problem solved.
If the "Bot 2" from Out Of fitted properly, it would actually be a good pair of sports glasses. One sentence, several problems. Problem one: the subjunctive. Problem two: the words if and actually.
In the summer of 2023, I tested the glasses with Out Of's light-adaptive technology. And came to the conclusion that although the "Bot 2" is certainly an interesting option for sportspeople, it doesn't sit properly on my nose and constantly slips down a millimetre. I have linked the detailed test report here:
"Bot 2 Adapta" solves the problem
Apparently it wasn't just me who had the problem with the poor fit, because the Italian manufacturer has responded to the criticism. The sports glasses are now also available in a version with adjustable temples, the "Bot 2 Adapta". Thanks to this adaptation, the problem with the poor fit is solved. I can now adjust the glasses perfectly to the shape of my face using the silicone ends of the temples. The days of slipping are over.
