Aeroshade 2.0 Titanium in size XS: matte black frame and iridescent Sunburst category 2 mirror lens, versatile when the light varies.

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.

The matte black front carries the Multimirror Sunburst lens, with its warm iridescent reflection. With 23% visible light transmission, it is a category 2 lens: it lets through more light than the silver or blue-green lenses, which makes it more versatile whenever the sky alternates between sun and cloud or the road goes from open country to woodland.

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

If you only want one lens for almost the whole year, the Sunburst category 2 is often the right compromise. The pink lens takes over in overcast weather or at dusk.

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.
