Hindsight Edge Sport Glasses

£199

Now these are some innovative glasses for both commuter safety and a performance advantage in racing thanks to its unique patented lens technology for “unparalleled situational awareness”. Developed with Olympic medallist Callum Skinner, the Edge Sport sunnies feature a two-part angled lens with semi-transparent mirrors for seeing forwards and backwards with just a shift of focus, rather than turning your head. It’s a True-Mirror lens which means objects should also be exactly as far as they look. Stuart Kerton has been testing these rear cycling glasses and his verdict will be up on the site soon…
