2/11/2017 1 Comment New Designs for 2018As we approach the dark nights and the muddy weather the reason for wearing photochromic mtbglasses is a simple one for trail riding; no changing lenses, you stay protected and for the most part the styles look pretty good. Before we close the year and get into next year we still have a short promotion where you can get a discount of some great tried and tested designs that will keep you fog free and moving on the trails . £30 off until the 6th November.
We still have a few more options in development but let me know what you think of these styles.
many thanks Rad8  Some more feedback from the Aggregate 100 in North Yorkshire. The Rad8s again performed admirably. The course is 100km with about 1700m of climbing, so a grand day out (grommit). Vision was again much improved over contact lenses, one highlight being the first off road descent. This is steep, rocky and with many small drop offs. Normally vision on this sort of riding would be very bad, it is almost as if my contacts bounce about, remember I'm on a cross bike. With the Rad8s my vision remained sharp, allowing me to pick better lines and increase my speed. That my brakes weren't coping is another matter😀
With the varifocal I could easily read my GPS unit and could quickly see that despite the good signing I'd missed a turn. No problems to whip my phone out and check position on my OS map app. The AG100 has 4 timed stages, the last involving a long push up a steep muddy, rooty hill, it's not nice. And it is in a dense wood. No steaming up at all, brilliant. By this time in a longish ride any riding glasses would be on top of my helmet due to fogging, muck etc. Not the Rad8s, although naturally there was some grot in was just track dirt, vision remained good until the end. Very pleased customer. With the cold damp weather of the standard British winter MTBglasses can steam up on the tough uphill climbs on the the MTB trails. Now is a good time to clean your glasses and test the anti-fog coating still works. Cleaning your glasses. Run the lenses under running water to remove the grit and mud. Use a soft cloth and warm soapy water to wipe the grease and grime off gently cleaning the lenses. Once clean allow the lenses to air dry and you will keep the anti-fog coating in tip-top condition for your next ride. Anti-fog coatings differ in quality and effectiveness from different manufacturers. The Rad8 anti-fog coating is bonded to the inside of the lenses and is durable and can be refreshed with effective cleaning. Anti-fog coatings will get damaged and scratched from the grit an grime so it it best to clean the mud off your lenses with running water. To test the effectiveness of your current glasses try the following test.
Rad8 MTBglasses are designed and tested by the MTB test team and will keep your vision protected on the MTB trails longer.
MTB glasses are essential kit for riding off road. MTB glasses will protect your eyes from UV light, trail debris and the odd branch and trailing bramble determined to injure you.

Rad8 MTBglasses will give you one of the better options, the frames are light and secure, the lenses are photochromic and both replaceable and available with prescription lenses
