The XS size of the Aeroshade 2.0 Titanium in matte white frame, with blue-green photochromic lens that adapts itself to the light (category 1 to 3).

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 white front is paired here with the blue-green photochromic lens with a mirror finish. Light in dim conditions (about 48% light transmitted, category 1) and dark in full sun (13%, category 3), it adjusts continuously during the ride. You keep the same glasses from sunrise to sunset.

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

For a rider who does not want to juggle several lenses, this is the simplest choice. Matte white is highly visible and stays elegant; just remember to clean it a little more often than a black frame.

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.

No spare lens with the photochromic version: the lens adapts to the light on its own.
