NORTHWAVE TOUR PRO

£44.99 Italian-designed three-lens package

-

Weight 28g Included 3 lenses, hard case The Italian company Northwave keeps its costs down by manufactur­ing these glasses in China rather than at home, but there are few obvious compromise­s elsewhere. As with some other less expensive glasses you do have to apply a bit of pressure to change lenses, which is always worrying at first. The hinges also feel stiffer than some, and while they come with a hard case, it’s a somewhat bulky affair. The lenses are the usual trio: a dark category 3 lens for sunny rides and two lenses for lower-light conditions. Large slots at the top offer venting and – like the central strut that links to the nose-piece – doesn’t feel distractin­g.
