1 Alpina Rocket V
V stands for Vario-Flex and refers to Alpina's photochromic lens. It adapts to the light conditions: light in the forest, dark at the summit. If you want it even brighter, you can get an extra clear lens for €20. And if you want it even bolder, the Rocket is available in a Bold version with XXL lenses. We say: 'Only the astronaut helmet is a step above. Available with a black or grey frame. Price160 Euro >> available here.
2 J. Athletics Skyball
We spotted the Skyball on the face of celebrity biker Steffi Marth as she glided down the legendary Skull Trail on Lake Garda. The enduro goggles from the German eyewear manufacturer from North Rhine-Westphalia are available in this chic alarm paint finish, in an ocean ice look like Steffi wears them, or simply in grey and brown. Self-tinting lenses extend the range of applications. Price: from 139 Euro >> available here.
3 Adidas SP0029H_02OE
Wow, a name like a secret code. The large Adidas glasses were supposedly designed for competitions. And because competitions are fast, the lenses can be changed particularly quickly. Unless you opt for the darkening photochromic lens. Clever, the temples are designed to grip the head particularly firmly yet gently. Price199 Euro >> available here.
4 Smith Wildcat
He is an orthodontist, ski bum and a smart guy: Dr Bob Smith. In 1965, he designed his first goggle, in 1984 he invented the roll-off system for racing, followed by many other things. We don't know whether he also invented the Wildcat. Maybe Bob just skis now and lets others do the work. The Wildcat offers a massive field of vision. Available in five frame colours and four tints. Clear glass included. Price199 Euro >> available here.
5 Poc Elicit
Wow, it's light. The Elicit from the Swedish safety experts weighs just 23 grams. You might find yourself looking for the glasses when you have them on your nose. The frameless design does the rest, with nothing protruding into the field of vision. Ingenious: The lens can be changed quickly and without fiddling. A clear lens is included. Available in seven colour designs and lenses from light to dark. Price: 239 Euro >> available here.
6 100% S3
The former motocross label from the USA is now a global player in bike sports with so many performance glasses in its range that we can hardly keep track of them all. Very stylish and functional: the S3 with its slim frame that barely restricts the field of vision. Over twelve frame colours, many tints and a darkening smart lens. Pricefrom 159 Euro >> available here.
