LEAD THE PELOTON

Supremely light performance eyewear designed for your fastest rides on two wheels. The heroes here are the UV-protective Carl Zeiss lenses and high-strength polymer frame. The Italianmade lenses come with a protective treatment that makes them easy to clean, scratch-resistant and ensures that dirt and water won’t stick. Very nice.

Expert opinion The lens guarantees that gnats won’t blind you and potholes will be visible even in shadowy light. Crucially (and unsurprisingly from super-stylish Rapha), five other detachable lens colours and multiple frame arm colours mean that you can always customise your set to match the kit that you’re riding in. After all, looking the part is pretty important, too.
