Compact Shield Coverage for Smaller Faces.
The Tifosi Vogel XC provides the coverage of sports shield sunglasses in a smaller, lighter shape. Designed for Small–Medium faces, it is a good option for cyclists and runners who find oversized eyewear too wide or bulky.
At approximately 24g, the Vogel XC is light enough for longer rides and runs. Lens vents encourage airflow, while hydrophilic nose pads and flexible Comfort Grip earpieces help keep the glasses secure as you move.
Choose Your Colour
- Matte Black with Violet Mirror Lens: A dark lens with a violet mirror for bright outdoor conditions
- Crystal Pink with Pink Mirror Lens: A brown-tinted lens with a pink mirror that provides a warmer view
- Satin Clear with Sky Blue Mirror Lens: A smoke lens with a blue mirror for bright outdoor use
- Blackout with Smoke No Mirror Lens: A neutral dark lens without a mirror coating
These are fixed-lens sunglasses rather than an interchangeable-lens system. Choose the colour and lens combination that best suits where you expect to use them.
Smaller Vented Shield
The compact shield provides useful coverage from sunlight, wind, insects and light debris without overwhelming a smaller face. Integrated lens vents help move air through the glasses and reduce the build-up of heat and moisture during harder efforts.
The shatter-resistant polycarbonate lens provides full UVA and UVB protection. Its optically recentered construction helps reduce distortion and supports clear vision across the shield.
Lightweight, Secure Fit
The Grilamid TR-90 frame is light, flexible and durable. Hydrophilic rubber nose pads become grippier as you perspire, while Tifosi’s Comfort Grip earpieces flex to hold the glasses securely without creating excessive pressure.
Check that the glasses sit comfortably without contacting your cheeks or interfering with your helmet-retention system.

Our Thoughts
The Vogel XC fills a useful gap in the Tifosi range. It gives you the appearance and frontal coverage of a shield without the width and depth of many oversized cycling glasses.
It is a particularly good option for riders and runners with smaller faces. Choose one of the mirrored lenses for a bolder finish or Blackout with Smoke for a more understated look.
