We are still a few weeks away from the Black Friday deals event itself (running from November 24th to 27th) but that's not stopped some retailers going early with their discounts - and the ones on 100% sunglasses are particularly strong right now.
Even better (at least for me!), the discounts extend to my favorite model - the 100% S3 sunnies. In the UK, there's currently a whopping 57% off and over in the USA it's a still a respectable 51% reduction.
I really love the large, but not too large, one piece lens along with the grippy nose piece and temple arms - they stay rock solidly in place without digging in or causing any hotspots.
The vents and the hydrophobic coating do a great job at keeping the glasses from steaming up - even at the end of a hard effort in the cold and damp (as essentially every ride is right now).
It is supposed to repel dirt and oil, too, but I can attest that if you end up touching the lens after an impromptu Cornish Pasty, you will leave a smear! On the other hand, it is at least pretty easy to wipe clean.
There's a variety of other great deals in the USA right now - the photochromic S2 model is currently 47% off and is really handy for the winter. Another top pick is the 100% Speedcrafts in Black Smoke and 35% off. The full range of deals at Chain Reaction Cycles can be found right here.
In the UK, the Speedcrafts are also a whopping 57% off and represent another great saving. But I'd also recommend the Hypercraft at 56% off - unfortunately the photochromic deals only start at 21% off for the Speedtrap frame. The full range of Sigma Sports' 100% deals is just over here.
