Christmas is approaching, and many enthusiasts wouldn't mind finding some cycling-themed packages under the tree. The options are obviously endless, but One idea could be the glasses from the Lombard brand Salice, specifically two models: 022 and 023.
These are two light and high-performance products, available in many color variations and types of lenses, including the RWX mirrored photochromic, the flagship of the Lombardy company.
022, complete frame
The 022 model is characterised by its aesthetics thanks to the frame that completely envelops the lens. A structure that improves stability and makes these glasses excellent not only for cycling (which remains the sport for which they were designed), but also for foot races.
As mentioned above, the frame colors are many, both solid and two-tone. What doesn't change in the frames is that the temples – printed in Grilamid – have been designed by Salice with a system that channels the air flow to reduce foggingThe end of the temples, as well as the nose pad, are made of non-slip Megol rubber.
Cylindrical lens and many options
The lens is made of polycarbonate and cylindrical, features that guarantee excellent coverage and at the same time great lightness. The weight of the glasses is in fact only 36 grams. Even when it comes to lenses, there are many options, from mirrored ones to those in different colors. It is interesting to point out that Salice has thought of two different configurations: RW and RWX.
The RW one comes with a category 3 RW lens and a clear lens. The RWX equipment instead includes a category 3 RW lens and a mirrored photochromic RWX lens, capable of adapting to any light intensity.
023, “all sports”
The 023 model is what Salice presents as “all sports”, thanks to the minimal frame that covers only the upper half of the lens up to the temples. This design ensures that the weight is truly at a minimum: 31 grams.
As for model 022 the material is Grilamid with Megol rubber inserts in the temples and for the nose padIn this case, however, the frame is available in five colors: white, green, lime, crystal, and black.
HC coated lens
The lens of the 023 glasses is made of polycarbonate with HC “High Contrast” treatmentThis technology improves contrast and delivers an excellent sense of depth. To this have been added an anti-reflective and hydrophobic treatment, in addition to UV400 protection.
As with the 022 model, the lens is also available in different options. The two possible equipments are also the same: with RW mirrored lens and clear lens or with RW lens and RWX photochromic lens.
Pricing
For those who are choosing one of these two Salice glasses as a Christmas gift, the choice will not depend on the price, which is the same for both models. The version with the RW lens is available for 99 euros, while the one with the RWX lens is available for 129 euros..
