Throughout the week, Alyssa wore the ApexRacer Pros in various environments—from cycling over the Hudson River to hiking with her dog. The sunglasses proved to be resilient and versatile. On a particularly bright day, the polarized lenses eliminated glare from the water, enhancing her ability to see clearly. The durability of the lenses was also evident when they survived a drop onto rocky terrain without a scratch, a testament to their robust design.
