When we talk about Willow It's natural to think of glasses and helmets intended for the professionals of the Androni team or for anyone who wants to face their weekend bike rides wearing high-quality accessories.
Today, Salice has decided to broaden its user base by focusing its attention on those who use their bikes to get around the city and want to do so safely while also looking great. Here are the Vento Urban helmet and the 023 glasses.
Speed and safety
The new Vento Urban helmet was created with the goal of optimally combining speed and safety. When we looked at the technical specifications, the shell immediately caught our attention. The latter is made using “In-moulding” technology which gives the helmet two precious characteristics such as lightness and impact resistance. A helmet suitable for city use must ensure maximum comfort while also being safe. To best meet this requirement, the new Vento Urban features a height-adjustable "anti-slip" system with a safety light on the adjustment dial. For even greater safety, two side attachment guides have been included. This simple and practical system keeps glasses securely attached to the helmet when not in use.

Not only urban...
Alongside the Urban version of the Vento helmet, we find its "sporty" version. The two models differ in some features, the first of which is related to ventilation. While the "sporty" Vento has 11 air vents, its "urban” has 5, for the simple reason that energy expenditure (and consequently sweating) are reduced for those who move by bike in an urban context. Another difference concerns the total closure of the upper part of the shell, which in this case is more compact than its sporty brother, better suited to the needs of the rider. urban. Finally, we remind you that the product is also equipped with a removable peak and a rear light that increases visibility, and is also guaranteed by the European standard EN 1078. Two colors are available: matt black or glossy lime. Vento is available in sizes SM (51-58 cm) and L-XL (58-61 cm). The recommended retail price is €129.
Occhiali 023
The Vento Urban helmet pairs perfectly with the 023 glasses, which fully represent Salice's philosophy: a “vintage” style design projected into the future. The latter are made with the highest quality materials, designed to amaze the wearer with their comfort, guaranteed by the ultra-grip Megol rubber inserts found on the temple tips. However, the 023 are not simply comfortable to wear. They are also decidedly high-performance glasses thanks to the extremely high-quality materials. with which they are made. We are referring in particular to the Grilamid frame and the polycarbonate, high-contrast HC lenses that offer faster reactions and optimized performance. Their construction also includes special protective treatments, such as the anti-reflective coating that reduces glare and the hydrophobic coating that allows water to bead off. The lenses also offer effective UV protection.
Comfort is guaranteed by the grippy rubber inserts in the end temples The lenses are also extremely easy to replace.
