Glasses are not only stylish, they also provide important protection for the eyes. Here are our results:

...


ADIDAS ZONYK


Price: 170 €
Weight: 34 gram
Filters: brown
Web: adidas.com

Stylish and cleanly finished. The Zonyk has a large field of vision and is very comfortable to wear thanks to the edgeless, rubberised and ventilated frame. The angle of the nose bridge and temples can be adjusted. The LST filters are of very high quality, sufficiently contrast-enhancing, but somewhat dark for forest tours.

ALPINA TWIST FIVE CM+


Price: 80 €
Weight: 28 grammes
Filters: Brown mirrored
Web:
alpina-sports.com

The Alpina sits very comfortably and close to the face thanks to soft rubberisation and good adjustment, but wobbles slightly due to the wide nose bridge. The frame significantly restricts the field of vision. The filter is a little dark for forest trails, hardly enhances contrast and shows slight distortions in the test.

POC CRAVE

How do you like this article?


Price: 229 €
Weight: 30 gram
Filter: brown
Web:
pocsports.com

Even without adjustment options, the retro-style Poc sits comfortably and unobtrusively, but tends to wobble a little. The large field of vision is hardly disturbed by the filigree frame. The filter colour is a good all-rounder with high contrast. The lenses are difficult to change. But for the high price, you get a space-age glasses case.

SMITH ATTACK


Price: 229 €
Weight: 29 grammes
Filters: pink, grey
Web:
smithoptics.com

Thanks to the magnetic temples, the filters on the Attack can be changed quickly. They sit lightly and securely on the nose, but very close to the face. The high-quality filter offers a wide field of vision, but could be higher. A fly can sometimes get caught behind the lens. The filter significantly increases the contrast, but is very bright in the sun.

OAKLEY FLIGHT JACKET


Price: 202 €
Weight: 33 grammes
FiltersRose, Prizm Low light

The look and the knobbly nose bridge of the Oakley are a matter of taste. Otherwise, they fit comfortably and provide good protection against draughts. The solid frame limits visibility at close range. The optical quality is top, the light-coloured filters are suitable for cloudy days. But the Prizm Trail lenses are the better choice for bikers.


UVEX SPORTSTYLE 706 CV


Price: 90 €
Weight: 32 gram
Filtersbrown, light blue mirror
Web:
uvex-sports.com

The Uvex fits comfortably and securely and can be adjusted perfectly using the temples and nose bridge. The frame only restricts the view slightly at the cheeks. The new Colorvision filters are a good choice for bikers, visibly increase contrast and offer sufficient protection even in the sun. High-quality workmanship.
