SUNGOD PACEBREAKERS

£85.00 In theory, the Pacebreakers from British brand SunGod have everything you need for a pair of triathlon glasses. They offer a clear, unobstructed field of vision, provide total protection from ultraviolet rays, reduce glare to prevent eyestrain and have an elevated brow to let you see ahead when your head’s dropped in a tuck. There’s also a wealth of frame colours and lens options to pick from. But in practice, they just don’t sit still. You may start your ride or run with them nicely positioned but, before long, you find yourself repeatedly reaching up to slide them back into place. The nosepiece and the arms need to keep a greater grip on your head. And the coverage isn’t good, with enough space behind the glasses to slide a finger in between the lens and your face. You can’t quite peer out from underneath them but you can almost see the entire front wheel, meaning there’s a clear path to your eyes for any debris that might fling up from the road. sungod.co
