Alpina supplies the Turbo Pro V in a practical hard case. A glasses cloth is also included in the scope of delivery. There is no water-repellent coating here. Instead, the varifocal lens is equipped with anti-fog protection to protect the goggles from fogging up.
Although the somewhat smooth temples sit quite comfortably, the Alpina is not too stable on the front of the nose. On harder hits, the glasses wobble on the nose and slide forwards a little. The rubber coating on the nose pieces is comfortable, with no corners or edges to get in the way, making the Alpina comfortable to wear over the long term.
One small drawback is the rather flat windscreen, which leaves a lot of space at the bottom of the cheekbones and therefore does not optimally block the wind. Ventilation slits on the upper side of the windscreen also ensure that there is a little more draught on the eyes than some might wish for.
Solid values in the laboratory test
The Alpina lens is equipped with a well-functioning anti-fog coating. We had no problems with fogging during the test. The Alpina also scores points in the laboratory test, as the lens reacts quite quickly both when darkening and brightening. The light brown tint enhances the contrasts somewhat off-road, but can get a little dark on cloudy days.

Evaluation & conclusion
Thanks to good clamping force, the new Turbo Pro with its chic retro look sits quite stably even on narrower faces. Good: the adjustable, soft rubberised nose bridge. The somewhat flat lens allows a little draught through at the cheeks, but it is reliably protected against fogging. The Alpina is in the solid mid-range for darkening and brightening. Angular temple tips.
