Neon is a brand founded in 2013 in Arona on the shores of Lake Maggiore, which produces ski helmets and goggles, bike helmets, and cycling glasses. We focus on the latter, in particular on Road model, which from this year also uses the BePinkTo better understand how it is made we spoke with Silvia Zanardi, in the opening photo (Credit Flaviano Ossola), the athlete from Piacenza who plays for Walter Zini's team.
Always in position
From this year the BePink girls can count on the support of glasses Neon Road, which for the occasion They were made with a blue frame and a magenta lens that match perfectly with the team uniform.
Neon Road are made using high quality materials such as TR-90 for the frame, which makes it light and at the same time flexible, adapting perfectly to the shape of the face. hake in megol It provides excellent grip on the nose even in case of heavy sweating.
«I have to say that I feel very good, they have an excellent fit – Silvia Zanardi confirms – one thing I really appreciate is that they don't slip, even if they don't have the rubber insert inside the temples, they remain firmly in place on the face».
Large lens
In addition to the fit, an important aspect of glasses is their visual quality. In the case of Neon Road, they have a Lens made of Polycarbonate Base 5,5 cylindrical which is resistant to impacts and scratches. It also provides UV400 protection.
«I also feel good about the visibility, in fact The lens protects well even on sunny days without having annoying reflections. Furthermore, the lens is big and I don't mind the frame on the top, which sometimes takes away a bit of visibility when you're head down."
They don't fog up
The weather factor is a determining factor for visibility.
«With Neon Road you can change the lenses – Zanardi explains to us – in fact ne I have a second clear one that I use in case of bad weather».
In bad weather or low temperatures, in fact, it can happen that the glasses fog up. To prevent this inconvenience, Neon technicians have designed a innovative ventilation system made up of small holes in the upper part of the lens functioning as anti-fog.
«I noticed that even with the slightly low temperatures they don't fog upThis is a quality that is very important to me. However, when it's hot and you sweat a lot, it happens that some droplets fall on the lens, but These glasses always stay clean. As if the droplets couldn't be seen."
Wind protection
Finally, there is one aspect that makes the difference at high speeds, especially when going downhill.
«Staying very close to the face no air gets into my eyes when I'm going downhill – and then she emphasizes – it's very important for me because I wear contact lenses and I'm more sensitive. I'm very happy with the protection the Road lenses give me."
