Question 5

The Alleycat has easily interchangeable lenses. If you want to grab some extra lenses, you can do so here and if you need just an extra low light lens, you can grab it here. You can see how to change your Alleycat lens here

Question 6

What Alleycat lens is right for me?

Accepted Answer

The Alleycat lens ratings are as follows:

Low-Light = S0 (86% VLT)
Amber = S2 (29% VLT)
Violet Chrome = S2 (25% VLT)
Red Chrome = S2 (28% VLT)
Silver Chrome = S3 (19% VLT)
Smoke = S3 (19% VLT)
Photochromic = S0 - S3 (85% - 18% VLT)

The higher the category (and lower the VLT %) the more light the lens blocks, so an S2 lens is often good for if you're riding in varying light conditions, whilst an S3 lens will perform best if you're mostly riding bright conditions. You can check out our in-depth video on the lenses further up this page or you can access it here.

Question 7

Are your photochromic lenses made by Zeiss?

Accepted Answer

Our photochromic lenses are not made by Zeiss, as Zeiss currently doesn't make a photochromic lens in a shield option. However, they are from one of the worlds leading photochromic lens makers and the optical quality is also fantastic.

Question 8

Can the Alleycat be used with a prescription?

Accepted Answer

We offer a lightweight, low profile optical clip that connects to the Alleycat nose bridge. This can be purchased on its own or with prescription lenses from Zeiss included. You can check all of our prescription options here

Question 9

What's the difference between the Alleycat trail and the snow version?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is in the lens technology. The Alleycat trail lens optimises for orange/green environments whereas the snow lens filters out more blue light, as there is a predominance of this in snowy environments. As a result, you'll get much better definition, contrast and depth perception when in the snow.
