They transition just fine in winter, even down to 10f or lower.
They have a version that works in cars now. But that's an issue with the car windshield blocking UV. So leave a magnetic "clip on" shades in the car. They look exactly like your frames, with them attached you can't tell they just stick on from the front - they look just like your glasses.
Yeah, I've used mine while cycling in freezing temperatures without an issue.
Then just use the clip-ons all the time and not pay for mediocre sunglasses? I'm not a fan, I've tried them and hated them. Super slow to go back to clear and unreliable. I don't want my lenses deciding when I need tinted lenses or not when I can just carry around either clip-ons or a complete second pair of prescription sunglasses. IMO Transitions are a bad solution to the problem.
