With the best cycling glasses marketplace dominated by well established brands like Oakley and Smith Optics, SunGod is a relative newcomer having arrived on the scene in 2013, but it has quickly gained traction by offering premium-feeling sunglasses and ski goggles at a more accessible price. You’ll find them perched on the noses of pro athletes including the youngest person to run the length of the UK, and Team Ineos Grenadiers.
Fitting into neither pro athlete category, I’ve been testing the Airas on regular rides on roads, tracks and trails throughout winter around Bristol and South Wales. Conditions have ranged from dense fog to bright, low winter sun – the kind of riding where sunglasses often bounce between your helmet and on your face with rapidly changing conditions, making it quick to get a clear sense of the comfort, coverage and lens performance of the Airas. Ultimately, I was blown away by the performance of the Airas in all weather, making wearing sunglasses a joy not a hassle.
