ENDURA SNAPPER II
WEIGHT 28.9G LENS VARIABLE TINT UV400 EXTRAS HARDCASE, SOFT CLEANING BAG PRESCRIPTION OPTION NO
Endura’s Snapper IIs are well-suited for all-round use and not just on the bike. The full frame design is like a classic Ray-Ban Wayfarer style that’s been curved to wrap closely around your face. The sizing is best suited to smaller faces and the lens depth of 40mm (including the frame) does a great job of shielding your eyes from the wind along with good sunlight protection.
Endura has opted for a multi-tint running from dark at the brow to lighter at the base. Both sides of the lens have been treated with an anti-reflection coating so the view is clear. Because of the 3D curvature the lenses are quite spherical in shape but you get little in the way of distortion, just a touch at the edge of the base of the lens that doesn’t interfere with your view.
The thick frame grips well and the adjustable nosepiece is welcome. They hold perfectly and are suitable for onand off-road, even if the close fit and full frame does mean some fogging when working hard.
The Snapper IIs wouldn’t look out of place arriving at the office on a commuter bike or in the midst of a sportive, so they're perfect if you are looking for something with more versatile styling.
