ProRace Kuota review

These are so nearly fantastic sunglasses. If there wasn't a weird downward section in the centre of the frame and the lenses curved in more or went slightly lower at their bottom edges, then they would be a clear scorer of 10. But that frame gets in your vision when you've got your head down and are looking up the road (always a good idea, looking where you're going). The rubberised section of the nose bridge is too slippery also, and it only gets worse with sweat, leading to the shades creeping down your nose a little when riding (depending upon your nose of course). There's no getting away from it - these are great value, but they're a little too flawed in their design to take a max score from us, despite the five lens deal.

Once again we have fantastic value but performance marred by little design faults
