BBB AVENGER BSG 57
WEIGHT 30.9G LENS CAT 3 BLUE MIRROR, CAT 0 CLEAR, CAT 0 YELLOW LOW LIGHT EXTRAS SOFT CLEANING BAG PRESCRIPTION OPTION NO
The Avenger’s large, sweeping lens provides a close wrap and the frame’s short stubby arms have plenty of spring. Because the grip is quite tenacious, these are a fine option for both on- and off-road use. The package includes three lenses with all using a nine-layer coating called MLC by BBB, which has a high resistance to friction. The blue-mirrored lens offers category 3 protection and plenty of contrast. In lower light conditions, they aren’t so dark that you can’t pick out contrast on the road surface. The two
other lenses are a straight clear option and a yellow tint lens for low light. Lens changing is smart with a central anchor point, click the lens out, rotate down to remove and do the reverse to replace. It’s a better option than having to wrestle with fragile lenses to bend them into slots.
The frame sits 2mm above the brow of the lens, which works well in cutting down on fogging and is a smart solution to an age-old problem. The adjustable nose bridge helps with fit but it does slightly intrude on your eyeline. Not so much as to be a distraction but it’s there.
The Avengers are a sturdy set of shades with lens quality that belies their modest price.
