The 022 glasses and the Gavia helmet are a combination of style and technology that we had the pleasure of testing for a long time. We remind you that Salice collaborates with the Team Androni Giocattoli Sidermec and that thanks to this collaboration receives numerous feedbacks, useful for developing its own products.
Regolazione facile
Starting with the Gavia helmet, we can say that the first impression is one of great comfort and lightness. Thanks to the rear rotor you can immediately find the right fit for your head. Furthermore, by always using the same rotor, the size can also be adjusted in height. This mechanism of anti-slip It is very simple and intuitive and allows you to adjust the size of the helmet even while cycling.
There is also light
Salice has also thought about safety making the rear adjustment rotor brightYou can adjust the intensity of the light, which can remain steady or flashing.
Thin padding
One feature that we really appreciated about the Gavia is the thin internal padding, which improve comfort and allow air to circulate better inside the helmet. Ventilation is very good thanks to the 15 vents on the shell.
Glasses safe
A nice quality of this helmet is the two external channels which have been designed to fit over the temples of glasses, allowing you to easily take them off when climbing or when stopping for a break, and then put them back on again easily. without running the risk of them falling to the ground.
Compact design
From an aesthetic point of view the Gavia has a very compact and modern design, which improves aerodynamics. We tested the white version with the Italian tricolor, but numerous colors are available so you can easily find the right match for your club colors.
Wide visibility
The 022 glasses are equipped with alarge cylindrical polycarbonate lens which allows for excellent visibility at all times. The white Italia version, which we tested, is equipped with RW high contrast HC mirrored lens blue in color. The characteristics of this lens are especially appreciated in areas where there are numerous changes in light, as they allow you to distinguish the different colors very well and always understand the depth of vision. A very important factor, especially when we found ourselves driving downhill in a wooded section where we quickly passed from shaded to sunny areas.
Air holes
The 022s are equipped with Side holes on the temples to allow air to pass through and prevent fogging which can be not only annoying, but also dangerous. Even with glasses, as with helmets, as soon as we put them on we had a feeling of lightness and comfort. This is thanks to the nose piece that fits the nose and to Megol rubber inserts in the temple tips that fit well in the ear area.
Willow Coupled
Ultimately, the combination of the Gavia helmet with the 022 glasses has proven to be very comfortable and numerous technical qualities which allowed us to pedal in complete safety. A combination that pays tribute to aesthetics, thanks to the compact, modern design and the attention to detail typical of Salice products made in Italy.
