Shimano S-Phyre Eyewear
Shimano very quietly outed some new eyewear a couple of weeks ago, and it's nice to see a smart alternative in a sea of Oakley's. Don't get me wrong, I love my Oakley eyewear, but it's always nice to see a new challenger in the market. And at first look, you have to say Shimano have smashed this.
2 options available, the full frame S-Phyre X alongside the frameless S-Phyre R, priced £130-140. Technical details further down, for now feast your eyes on the goodness.
