AGU Bold Anti Fog Glasses

Product Information

Another trend is complete frame customisation. It's an option that Ekoi and Oakley offer, among others. How we test

The main lens is a CAT3 mirrored lens and a second, CAT1 amber lens is included for lower-light conditions. The final lens is a CAT0 clear lens for night riding or poor conditions. Where we haven't yet had the chance to review an item, we're still confident in recommending it as one of the best, because we either know the brand really well, and have probably tested another product or the previous version and can still happily recommend it as one of the best. The slender arms and slim, fixed-nose bridge make these best-suited to smaller faces. Robert Smith / Immediate Media All offer similar function (although some full frame cycling glasses might have a problem if the upper or lower part of the frame is in your eyeline), so which variety you decide to go for depends on the look that suits you, and the priority you give to weight and of course what fits.If you have ever ridden a bike in a rain or snow storm, we don't have to tell you how important glasses are in such weather conditions. Precipitation such as rain or snow can both restrict your field of vision and irritate your eyes. And who could know this better than the professional riders of the Team Jumbo-Visma? As they battle their way through all kinds of weather conditions on their long races, our AGU Verve glasses with anti-fog coating, hypoallergenic nose pads and rubber temples are their most trusted companions. Thanks to the latest technologies, the riders can achieve optimum performance with these glasses and have a better view of the road than without. The glasses are equipped with 2nd generation AGU HD lenses: The improved colour contrast ensures a sharper image because depth and details are easier to see.

The Omnicrons’ shield lens is smaller than most at 42mm at its deepest, which makes them well suited to smaller faces. The curvature of the lens closely wraps around the face and the substantial arms have plenty of spring, so they grip very well with little movement even when riding on rougher surfaces. The soft tips on the arms are metal-cored, so you can bend them a little to fit and keep them in place. Robert Smith / Immediate Media Aesthetically, the Bolds score top marks, featuring a squared-off shield design that blends the current retro 1980s trend with modern design very successfully. On the bike, the close fit and grippy frame work well at both shielding you from the wind and staying in place. The Snapper IIs wouldn’t look out of place arriving at the office on a commuter bike or in the midst of a sportive, so they’re perfect if you are looking for something with more versatile styling.

Features

The best cycling glasses might come with lenses that have a hydrophobic coating. When combined with a cycling cap, the best cycling glasses are very useful when riding in the rain, and a hydrophobic coating will make sure that water doesn't stay on the lenses impeding your vision. In group riding or cycling in public, peripheral vision is especially important. It also allows enough air circulation while preventing fogging on the lenses. The other big standout feature with the Code Breakers is that they are compatible with RX prescription inserts, so riders who wear glasses don’t have to fork out premium prices to get good-looking riding shades. First off, it's nice to have a hardshell case that will be useful if you're throwing the sunglasses in a bag and travelling with them. Second, you should hope for a soft microfibre cloth to help keep the lenses clean. You might also find a lens cleaning cloth or even a kit with a spray. Other brands have a soft case that can double as a lens cloth. Optics: Curved-profile lenses provide a clear, undistorted view both at the front and in the peripheral vision zones. Look for polycarbonate lenses with full UV protection credentials.
