Everyday Style with a Secure, Active Fit

The Tifosi Sylo is an everyday sunglass with enough grip and durability for walking, golf, travel and relaxed outdoor use. Its clean full-frame shape looks less technical than a dedicated sports sunglass, while the hydrophilic nose pads help keep it secure when you are moving.

The lightweight plant-based Thrive frame has a Medium–Large fit and is available with Smoke, mirrored and Brown Polarised lens options.

Choose the Right Lens

• Matte Black with Smoke Bright Blue: A smoke-based lens with a bright blue finish for sunny outdoor conditions.
• Satin Vapor with Smoke Red Mirror: A neutral Smoke lens with a red mirrored finish for bright conditions.
• Midnight Vapor with Pink Mirror: A mirrored lens for bright outdoor use with a distinctive pink finish.
• Crystal Clear with Cobalt Blue Mirror: A mirrored lens for bright outdoor conditions with a bold blue finish.
• Blackout with Smoke: A neutral dark tint for bright everyday conditions without a mirrored outer finish.
• Honey with Brown Polarised: A warm-tint lens that improves contrast and helps reduce reflected glare from roads, water and other shiny surfaces.

The mirrored and Smoke options are well suited to general use in bright conditions. Choose Brown Polarised if reducing reflected glare is the priority, particularly around roads or water.

Lightweight Thrive Frame

The Thrive frame is made from a lightweight plant-based material derived partly from castor bean oil. It provides the durability needed for everyday use while reducing reliance on conventional fossil-fuel-based plastics.

At approximately 27g, the Sylo should remain comfortable through longer walks, travel days and general outdoor use.

Comfortable and Secure

Hydrophilic rubber nose pads become grippier as you perspire, helping the glasses remain stable during walks, golf and other active use.

Tifosi Glide earpieces slide on comfortably and provide a smooth, low-bounce fit. This makes the Sylo a practical option for anyone who wants one pair of sunglasses for everyday wear and lighter sporting use.

The fixed nosepiece provides less adjustment than Tifosi’s dedicated performance glasses, so choosing a frame that suits your face shape remains important.

Medium–Large Fit

The Medium–Large fit suits many adult faces. The Sylo sits closer to the face than some oversized lifestyle frames while retaining a conventional shape that is easy to wear away from sport.

Anyone with a particularly narrow face may find the Sylo too wide and should consider one of Tifosi’s Small or Extra Small–Small frames.

Polycarbonate Lens Protection

The shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses provide full UVA and UVB protection. They are suitable for everyday outdoor wear but do not wrap as closely around the sides as dedicated cycling glasses.

The lenses are scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof. Rinse away dust and grit before cleaning them with the supplied microfibre bag.

Who Is the Tifosi Sylo For?

The Sylo suits anyone wanting a straightforward everyday frame that can also handle walking, golf, travel and relaxed outdoor activity. It is a good alternative for people who find oversized sports glasses too technical-looking for daily wear.

Cyclists wanting maximum protection from wind, insects and trail debris should choose a more closely wrapped Tifosi cycling frame.

Our Thoughts

The Sylo makes sense as an everyday pair that you can also use for a casual ride, walk or round of golf. It is light, stays in place well and does not look out of place away from sport.

The main choice comes down to lens finish. Choose one of the mirrored options if you prefer a brighter, more distinctive appearance, Blackout with Smoke for a simple neutral lens or Honey with Brown Polarised when reducing reflected glare is more important.
