Scicon New Aeroscope Sports activities Efficiency Sun shades
If they’re ok for Tadej….
Alastair Hamilton PEZ sez: The place to start out? There are such a lot of issues to say in regards to the new Scicon Aeroscope glasses. They had been launched to the general public on the twenty second of Could, however you’ll have seen them on the face of Tadej Pogačar since Milano-Sanremo in March. The Slovenian then gained the Tour of Flanders and the Amstel Gold Race sporting Aeroscope. Within the Giro d’Italia you’d have seen the UAE Workforce Emirates and Jayco AlUla sporting, plus the ladies’s Jayco and UAE groups. Possibly that isn’t essential to you, but when the celebrities are joyful to put on them, then they will’t be dangerous.
No, not Mr. Pogačar
The very first thing I observed was that the Aeroscope include a transparent lens, which is listed individually at €80, I don’t use clear fairly often, however it’s a very helpful ‘further’ that it’s best to have for these boring/wet days. Additionally they arrive with the same old microfibre pouch and the Scicon ‘mushy case’. The case isn’t that mushy and provides numerous safety and can be utilized as an beneath the saddle pouch, a really helpful and nicely made small bag.
Two lens, pouch and mushy case
Okay, what in regards to the glasses. They’re of the trendy fashion of BIG, however the form isn’t obtrusive they usually don’t stick out. The one’s I’ve had a transparent body, however I don’t see the body on the edges of my imaginative and prescient. As with all glasses, strive them together with your helmet as some may contact the helmet and push down. The Aeroscope labored nicely with my Giro and the groups use MET, however at all times finest to strive first. They’re snug and also you neglect you have got them on. Exceptionally adjustable legs with size and ear-pieces maintain with out squeezing, they’re additionally fairly straight, really easy to place within the helmet holes. The nostril piece is of sentimental rubber and likewise very adjustable, plus it may be changed and held securely by a small screw. As to readability of the lens, as you’d anticipate from Scicon, no drawback right here. No reflections or glare and really clear, they’ve additionally been handled to repel water, oil, and dust. Influence resistant and UVA & UVB protecting lens.
Size alter legs
The body additionally has a 12° tilt to the lens angle which additionally helps when sporting a helmet. There may be additionally a central VenteX™ funnel within the lens, Scicon declare that this “is strategically positioned outdoors your eyesight to guard your view from direct mild whereas facilitating airflow.” I different phrases, they shouldn’t steam up. They definitely didn’t whereas I used to be using.
Replaceable nostril piece
Very good onerous case
Nice to have the selection of lens
They weigh greater than my ‘old skool’ Oakley’s, however then they’re half the scale, additionally the Aeroscope’s are held tother with screws, seven, no push collectively plastic hinges. The burden wasn’t noticeable, in contrast to my studying glasses for the pc that are heavy.
Not the lightest
Would I like to recommend them? Sure, very a lot so. Very trendy and would suppose they’d alter to suit any face form. Most significantly they’re optically excellent and, as I mentioned earlier, you neglect you have got them on. I don’t trip as quick as Pogačar, however I did really feel like a star. Always remember it’s best to ‘by no means sacrifice fashion for velocity’.
