Choose the Tifosi Swank, part 1500411281, UPC 848869023293, for the Smoke with Bright Blue Mirror lens, 100 percent UVA and UVB, a Small–Medium fit, and 23 grams. This color's lens bullet does not say polarized. Choose the goodr OG, model G00352OGBK1NR, color cell A Unicorn's Calamity V1, for the polarized UV400 bullets, size Medium, and an item-weight cell of 21 grams. The Tifosi listing names both THRIVE and Grilamid next to 23 grams. Read the temple.

Key takeaways

  • 1500411281 is Smoke with Bright Blue Mirror, UPC 848869023293.
  • This Swank color's lens bullet does not say polarized.
  • THRIVE and Grilamid TR90 are both printed next to 23 grams.
  • G00352OGBK1NR is Unicorn's Calamity V1, polarized UV400, 21 grams.

Buy the Tifosi Swank, manufacturer part 1500411281, UPC 848869023293, when you want the Smoke with Bright Blue Mirror lens the bullet names, shatterproof polycarbonate, 100 percent UVA and UVB, a Small–Medium fit, and a 23-gram weight the same bullet prints. Buy the goodr OG, model G00352OGBK1NR, UPC 810075316087, color cell A Unicorn's Calamity V1, when you want the polarized UV400 lens the bullets name, a grip coating, silicone nose inserts, size Medium, and an item-weight cell of 21 grams. One card's lens bullet does not say polarized. The other card's bullets do. That is the buy.

Short version. A helmet still sits above the frame, so the temples have to clear it. A front light does not replace a lens that blocks UV. A bottle does not either. A tire will not tell you whether the lens is polarized. Read 1500411281 or G00352OGBK1NR before you reorder a sibling color that changes the lens sentence.

The Tifosi card is manufacturer part 1500411281, UPC 848869023293, GTIN 00848869023293. The lens bullet says Smoke with Bright Blue Mirror, shatterproof polycarbonate, glare-reducing, scratch resistant and not scratch proof, and 100 percent UVA and UVB. The fit line says Small–Medium. A weight bullet says 23 grams and names a THRIVE plant-based castor frame. A different paragraph on the same listing says Grilamid TR90 and also says 23 grams. Both sentences print 23 grams. They do not print the same frame plastic. Do not pick one polymer and throw the other away. Look at the temple print on the pair you unpack. If the frame does not say what you expected, you are holding the paragraph you did not mean, or a different Swank.

The same Tifosi listing mentions an integrated hinge, hydrophilic nose pads, and Tifosi Glide. Those are comfort claims, not a polarization claim. This color's lens bullet does not say polarized. A different Swank color line on the listing, including a Blackout mention, does say polarized. That is not this buy. The color words that belong with this part are Avant Clear and Smoke Bright Blue Mirror. If the lens in the photo is a flat black mirror with no blue, match the part number before you assume the bullet moved with the photo. Scratch resistant is not scratch proof. The bullet says both halves of that sentence on purpose. A pocket full of keys will still mark polycarbonate.

The goodr card is model and part G00352OGBK1NR, UPC 810075316087, GTIN 00810075316087. The bullets say a grip coating and silicone nose inserts, a snug lightweight fit with no bounce, and a polarized glare-reducing UV400 lens that blocks 100 percent of UVA and UVB. The color cell says A Unicorn's Calamity V1. The lens cell says black. The size cell says Medium. The style cell says OG. The item-weight cell says 21 grams. A detail table on the listing sometimes shows a sibling ASIN, B0D7X6R7NF. Match the color name and the model. A different Unicorn colorway is a different pair even when the style still says OG. Do not copy a 53 mm lens width from an older goodr ASIN onto this card. This card does not print that width.

Tifosi part 1500411281, UPC 848869023293. goodr model G00352OGBK1NR, UPC 810075316087. A Blackout Swank and a different goodr ASIN are different lenses.

Who should buy the Swank, and who should buy the OG?

Buy the Swank if you want the Smoke with Bright Blue Mirror lens, the Small–Medium fit line, and you have already accepted that this color's bullet does not say polarized. The 23-gram figure shows up with two frame stories, THRIVE castor and Grilamid TR90. The gram number is the agreement. The plastic name is the conflict. Hydrophilic nose pads and Glide are the grip language on this card. An integrated hinge is the durability language. None of those sentences turn a non-polarized bullet into a polarized one. If you need polarization, this is the wrong color of Swank even when the shape looks identical in a thumbnail.

Buy the goodr OG if the bullets' polarized UV400 line is the feature you came for, and the color cell A Unicorn's Calamity V1 matches the frame you expect. Size Medium and style OG are the fit words. Twenty-one grams is the item-weight cell, two grams under the Swank's printed 23, which is not a difference you will feel on a scale that rounds to the tenth of an ounce. The grip coating and the silicone nose inserts are the no-bounce claim. Snug is the word. A face that hates pressure at the temples will hate a snug frame even when the lens is the right one. Try them on. A card cannot measure your nose.

Do not buy the Swank because a Blackout line elsewhere on the listing said polarized. That line is a different color. Do not buy the goodr because an older card printed a 53 mm lens width. This model cell does not. Do not buy either pair as a helmet. They sit under one. Do not buy them as a clear lens for night riding. The Tifosi lens bullet is Smoke with a mirror. The goodr lens cell says black. Both are dark lenses for bright light.

What the Tifosi Swank part 1500411281 is actually for

The lens is the product. Smoke with Bright Blue Mirror, shatterproof polycarbonate, glare-reducing, scratch resistant and not scratch proof, 100 percent UVA and UVB. Glare-reducing without the word polarized means a tint and a mirror, not a polarizing filter. On water, wet pavement, and a car hood, polarized and non-polarized behave differently. This bullet does not claim the filter. If your use is a long glare line off a lake, read a card that prints polarized, which this color does not. If your use is a bright road and you want the blue mirror, the bullet matches.

The frame conflict is real and it is on one listing. One bullet says 23 grams and THRIVE, a plant-based castor frame. Another paragraph says Grilamid TR90 and 23 grams. Castor-based polymer and Grilamid TR90 are not synonyms you should collapse. Photograph the inside of the temple. Reorder the part, 1500411281, and the UPC 848869023293, and still look at the temple if the plastic name matters to you. The GTIN 00848869023293 is the same code with a check structure you can match on a scanner. Fit Small–Medium means a face on the smaller side of adult. A wide face will pinch. Hydrophilic pads are meant to get stickier when they are wet with sweat. They are not a strap.

Do: put the pair on with the helmet you actually wear and check that the temples do not hit the retention dial. Don't: store them loose against a multi-tool. Scratch resistant is the ceiling the bullet allows, and it is not scratch proof. Don't: assume the integrated hinge means you can sit on them. A hinge that is molded in still snaps when the frame is folded the wrong way in a jersey pocket. Don't: reorder "Swank" from a Blackout photo and expect this mirror. The part number is the lens.

What the goodr OG model G00352OGBK1NR is actually for

Polarized UV400 that blocks 100 percent of UVA and UVB is the lens sentence. UV400 is a wavelength claim. Polarized is a filter claim. This card prints both. The lens cell says black, which is the tint you should see, not a blue mirror. The color cell, A Unicorn's Calamity V1, is the frame name you reorder. Style OG and size Medium are the rest of the identity. Model G00352OGBK1NR and UPC 810075316087 are the codes. If a table on the listing shows ASIN B0D7X6R7NF, that is a sibling. Stay on G00352OGBK1NR and the Unicorn's Calamity name.

The no-bounce claim is the grip coating plus silicone nose inserts, and the word snug. Twenty-one grams is light enough that bounce is a fit problem, not a mass problem. A loose frame bounces. A snug frame that is the wrong width hurts. There is no printed lens width on this card to settle the argument in millimeters. The older 53 mm figure from a different goodr ASIN does not transfer. Put the pair on, look down at a stem, and see whether the frame stays when you shake your head. That test is worth more than a two-gram difference against the Swank.

Do: check polarization the simple way, by tilting the lens at a phone screen and watching the screen darken, before you leave the house. A pair that does not darken a screen is not behaving like the polarized bullet. Don't: use that test as a lab report. It is a sanity check. Don't: assume size Medium means the same face as the Swank's Small–Medium. The words overlap and the frames do not. Don't: clean the lens with a dry shirt hem if you can avoid it. The bullet does not say scratch proof on the goodr card either. A clean microfiber is the tool. The shirt is the scratch.

How to wear either pair on a ride

Start with the helmet and the light you already own. A road helmet changes where the temple sits. If the arm hits the helmet, the frame lifts and the no-bounce claim is over before the first mile. A daytime-visible front light is still worth running when the lens is dark, because a dark lens does not make you visible to a driver. The glasses are for your eyes. The light is for theirs.

Put the pair on before you roll, not at the first descent. Fog and sweat are the failure you can predict. Hydrophilic pads on the Swank are a sweat claim. Silicone inserts on the goodr are a grip claim. Neither is a vent. If the lens fogs when you stop at a light, crack the frame off your face for a second rather than wiping a dirty glove across the mirror. A glove is an abrasive. The Tifosi bullet already told you scratch resistant is not scratch proof.

Carry them in a case in the jersey pocket or the bar bag, not loose next to a multi-tool. A hex key will write its name on a polycarbonate lens in one ride. At the end of the day, rinse salt and sunscreen off the pads. Sunscreen film on a lens looks like a failed coating. It is usually just film. A drop of water and a soft cloth, then dry. Do not soak a hinge you cannot open.

What actually fails on these two pairs

The color fails first. Part 1500411281 is the Smoke Bright Blue Mirror Swank. A Blackout Swank that says polarized is a different lens sentence. Model G00352OGBK1NR is Unicorn's Calamity V1. A table that points at B0D7X6R7NF is a sibling. The frame plastic fails next, on the Tifosi card only, because THRIVE and Grilamid TR90 are both printed next to 23 grams. You cannot resolve that by preferring the sentence you like. You resolve it by reading the temple.

The polarization assumption fails when you buy the Swank for a lake day and the bullet never said polarized. The goodr bullets did. The width assumption fails when you bring a 53 mm number from an older goodr card. This card's size word is Medium, and that is all it prints. The weight cells are 23 grams and 21 grams. If a postal scale says something else, believe the scale and the pair in your hand. A cell can be the pair, the pair plus a bag, or a sibling.

The other failure is treating either pair as eye protection against an impact the bullet did not rate. Shatterproof polycarbonate is the Tifosi word. It is not a standards code for a job site. The goodr card does not print shatterproof in the bullets we are using. These are riding glasses with a UV claim. They are not a face shield, and they are not a reason to skip a helmet.

What this comparison is not

It is not a clear lens, a photochromic lens, or a prescription insert. It is not a promise that 23 grams of THRIVE and 23 grams of Grilamid are the same frame. It is not a promise that Small–Medium and Medium are the same face. It is not a helmet, a light, or a bottle. It is not the Blackout Swank. It is not a 53 mm measurement this goodr card did not print.

It is not a reason to own six colors before you have worn one pair with your helmet. Match the part or the model, check the lens sentence for the word polarized, and put them on your face. The pair that stays put and matches the bullet is the one you meant to buy.

So which sunglasses should you buy?

Buy the Tifosi Swank, part 1500411281, UPC 848869023293, when you want Smoke with Bright Blue Mirror, 100 percent UVA and UVB, a Small–Medium fit, and the 23-gram figure, and you have read that this color's lens bullet does not say polarized. If the frame print and the THRIVE versus Grilamid sentences disagree, believe the temple you can see. Buy the goodr OG, model G00352OGBK1NR, UPC 810075316087, when the color cell says A Unicorn's Calamity V1 and you want the polarized UV400 bullets, size Medium, and the 21-gram cell. Ignore a sibling ASIN in the table. The code on the frame is the pair.

Frequently asked questions

Tifosi Swank or goodr OG?

Part 1500411281 if you want the blue-mirror Smoke lens and you do not need the word polarized. Model G00352OGBK1NR if you want the polarized UV400 bullets and Unicorn's Calamity V1.

Is this Swank polarized?

This color's lens bullet does not say polarized. A Blackout line elsewhere on the listing does. That is a different color.

Why do two frame plastics appear on the Tifosi card?

One bullet says 23 grams and a THRIVE plant-based castor frame. Another paragraph says Grilamid TR90 and 23 grams. Read the temple on the pair you unpack.

What color is this goodr?

The color cell says A Unicorn's Calamity V1. The lens cell says black. Model G00352OGBK1NR and UPC 810075316087 are the codes. A sibling ASIN in the table is a different pair.

Can you use a 53 mm width from an older goodr?

No. This card does not print that width. The size cell says Medium. Try the frame on your face.

Which weight cells are printed?

The Swank bullets say 23 grams. The goodr item-weight cell says 21 grams. Weigh the pair if the cell and the scale disagree.
