I’ve tried out various lesser known brands over the years to try and support smaller businesses but the quality and comfort has never measured up. Finally changed with the alleycat. Look awesome, unlikely so see the same combo, and actually so comfortable. Really psyched with the purchase.

The market is flooded with variations on the same sunglasses but I genuinely believe these are the best. They look great, the customisation options on the website are fun and allow you to choose exactly how loud or low-key you want, they stay planted on your face over really rough ground, and the best thing is the low light lens which is perfect for going through woods etc.

I purchased the Alleycats for both mountain and gravel biking. They are superb for both! They are comfortable. They don’t jostle around your face. They stay planted even through the rock gardens.

The Zeiss generated “Trail” optics worked like a charm, offering clarity and just the right amount of contrast, even in flat light.

I found the glasses stayed put over very rough terrain, not bouncing around or requiring any readjustment once set to position. I didn’t feel the need to readjust them at all, even after long periods wearing them.

I have tested a massive pile of riding glasses and these quickly rose to the top in terms of clarity, coverage, and looks.
