Hey, I’ve been watching REVO the last two Black Fridays because I wanted a pair for running too.

Background: I ended up grabbing a REVO Superflex sport frame in 2023. I tracked prices for about a month beforehand using Amazon price history and REVO’s own newsletter.

Why it matters: REVO doesn’t discount as aggressively as some other brands, so knowing *where* the real deals show up is kind of important if you don’t wanna overpay.

What I saw:
- REVO site: I saw around 20–25% off sitewide, sometimes with a few doorbusters (older colors/models) closer to 30%. Prescription and photochromic were discounted, but usually less (like 15–20% in my case). You might want to consider signing up for their email now; they sent the BF code early.
- Amazon: For my Superflex, Amazon actually beat REVO by a bit. Base price dropped, then a coupon stacked on top for an effective ~30% off, but only on certain colors. Be careful here and double-check it’s “Ships from and sold by Amazon/REVO” to avoid sketchy sellers.
- REI: More conservative. I saw specific REVO models at ~20% off, aligned with their usual promos. Good if you want easy returns, but not always the lowest price.

For 2025 I’d suggest:
- Start a wishlist on REVO + Amazon now and watch price history (CamelCamelCamel helps).
- Make sure you compare *lens type* (standard polarized vs photochromic vs prescription add-ons), because the discount sometimes only applies to the base lens.
- If you need RX, I’d honestly wait for REVO’s own site sale. In my experience the prescription options almost never get heavy discounts on third-party sites.

So yeah, if they repeat the pattern, I’d look first at REVO direct for RX/photochromic and Amazon for non-RX sport models like Superflex.

Hope this helps!

Hey, so quick story: I grabbed a “too good to be true” REVO deal one past Black Friday from some random site… lenses turned out fake, zero real UV protection, and I didn’t realize until I got headaches running in bright sun.

From a safety-first angle, I’d suggest:
- **Stick to legit sellers**: REVO site, REI, Sunglass Hut, Backcountry, and REVO’s official Amazon listing. Be careful with marketplace sellers.
- **Check UV + polarization specs** on the product page, especially for sport/superflex models. Don’t assume all models are equal.
- For **photochromic / Rx**, I’d personally only buy direct from REVO or a trusted optician, even if a third-party deal is cheaper. Your eyes are kinda the one place not worth gambling on BF discounts.

Lesson learned for me: I’d rather take a smaller sitewide discount from REVO (like 20–30% if they repeat past years) than chase a sketchy 50% off and end up with junk lenses.

Hope this helps! Keep an eye on who’s actually fulfilling the order more than the % off.

Hey, long-time REVO buyer here who’s tried way too hard to “game” Black Friday over the years 😅

**Background / what I’ve seen:**
Over the last 4–5 years, REVO itself has usually done something like 25–30% off sitewide, sometimes with exclusions on new releases or collabs. Retailers (REI, Amazon, Sunglass Hut, Backcountry, etc.) bounce between 20–40% off but it’s often on *older* colors or less popular lens tints.

**Why this matters for your wallet:**
Newer sport / Superflex models and especially prescription or photochromic stuff rarely get the *best* headline discounts. Be careful with Amazon “deals” in particular – lots of odd colors, weird sizing, or older stock that isn’t a real upgrade. Also, returns can be more annoying vs buying direct or from REI.

**What I’d actually do in 2025:**
- **Set a target price now** – e.g. “I’ll buy Superflex if it drops ~30%.” That keeps you from impulse‑buying a weak 10–15% promo.
- **Stack discounts**: sign up for REVO’s email for 10–15% off, then watch for Black Friday codes you can stack (sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t, but worth trying at checkout).
- **Check REI/Backcountry first for sport models** – they’ve often run 30% off REVO or “extra 20% off sale” where you can double-dip.
- **Prescription / photochromic**: those *do* go on sale, but usually it’s free lens upgrade, free Rx processing, or smaller % off (10–20%). I’d suggest calling/chatting with REVO or SportRx around early Nov and asking what’s coming. They’ll sometimes hint.
- **Watch the weeks before BF/CM**: REVO has done “early Black Friday” that was as good as the main sale. If you see 30% off the exact model you want, I wouldn’t wait for an extra 5% and risk sizes/colors selling out.

If you share the exact models you’re eyeing, folks can probably help you spot a realistic “buy now” price so you don’t overpay.

Hope this helps!
