Melon Optics’ Alleycats are not only good looking, but impressive­ly customisab­le as standard too. There are multiple colour options for the frames, rubber nosepiece and the little melon-shaped logo on the side, as well as several lens types to choose from.

I think they also compete with the bigger brands in terms of performanc­e. Their large Zeiss lens offers a massive field of vision, and the lens tint boosts contrast, making it easy to pick out details while riding. The frames are lightweigh­t for long road rides, but are also plenty sturdy enough for the trails. I feel like one cool cat in them.
