The XS version of the Aeroshade 2.0 Titanium, designed for narrow faces. Matte black frame and category 3 silver mirrored lens for bright sunlight.

The Aeroshade 2.0 Titanium, sized for narrow faces

Scicon has released its Aeroshade 2.0 Titanium, the glasses worn by Tadej Pogačar, in an XS size for riders with smaller faces. You get the same solid titanium arms machined in more than twenty steps, the vented Grilamid TR90 front and the height-adjustable nose pad, with a more compact lens that suits a narrow face better.

This colourway pairs a very understated matte black front with the Multimirror silver lens, a category 3 lens that lets through only 12% of visible light. It is the lens for bright, sunny days: white back-country roads, mountain passes in midsummer, midday rides. The silver mirror stays neutral and goes with everything, on and off the bike.

Aeroshade 2.0 XS or standard Aeroshade 2.0?

Both share the same technical base: titanium arms, TR90 front, FlexiFit 2.0 nose pad and the same 40 g weight. The difference is in the lens, reduced to 137 x 57 mm on the XS against 143 x 58 mm on the standard version. In practice, if sport sunglasses often slide down your cheeks or stick out well beyond your temples, the XS is made for you. It is also the size we recommend first to riders with narrow faces and to junior riders (our advice). The easiest way is to compare the two on your face: drop in to the shop in Béziers, we have pairs to try on.

LVR workshop tip

With the category 3 silver lens, you are equipped for bright sun, which is plentiful around Béziers. Keep the pink lens in your saddle bag for dawn starts, woodland or grey days: the change is tool-free.

To clean, rinse the lens with clean water after a dusty or salty ride, then wipe it with the microfibre pouch, never with the hem of your jersey. Avoid household cleaning products, which would attack the Nanotech coating.
