Scicon has released its new Aeroshade 2.0 Titanium sunglasses, an evolution of the glasses worn by Tadej Pogačar, featuring titanium temples and a Grilamid TR90 mono-shield front frame.
The brand says it has used the medical-grade material for strength, flexibility and long-term structural integrity.
It says titanium resists deformation, corrosion and temperature extremes, maintaining a consistent fit and retention ride after ride.
Pogačar wore the glasses at the weekend as he took victory at Strade Bianche, becoming the first rider ever to win the race four times.
The new sunglasses use Scicon’s FlexiFit 2 adjustable nose pad and TactiGrip temple tips are employed for a flexible fit.
The Grilamid TR90 mono-shield front frame is said to have outstanding strength, flexibility and long-term durability, maintaining precise alignment even under high-speed stress.
Elsewhere, the glasses feature the brand’s VortexFlow ventilation system, which uses strategically positioned ports to optimise airflow and minimise fogging.
The original Aeroshade glasses have seen plenty of success, with multiple Tour de France wins from Pogačar alone, and more than 500 professional race victories worldwide.
However, the new additions mean the Aeroshade 2.0 is heavier than the previous model, up from 36g to 40g.
There are 20 options to choose from on Scion’s website, with frame colours including white, black, and a white and red option.
Lenses vary too, with mirror and photochromic options available.
For spectacle wearers, the glasses are also compatible with the Scion’s AC028 Optical Insert, and the RX model comes with this as standard.
Prices start at £192 / $265 / €220, with photocromic lenses priced at £220 / $295 / €250 and the RX model £265 / $360 / €300.
If you’re one of the first 200 to buy the glasses from Scicon’s website, you’ll also receive a Tadej Pogačar Triple Crown photobook with your order.
