Once on your face, with your helmet on your head, they do not look as big. It&#8217;s also at this time that you realize just how great the fit and field of view is. I have only done a handful of rides with these on, but can comfortably say these are some of the best riding glasses I&#8217;ve ever worn.<\/p>\n<p>Included with the Prizm Jawbreaker is a Microbag with lense pouch, a Soft Vault Case and an extra nosepad.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Features:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>PRIZM is a revolutionary lens technology that fine-tunes vision for specific sports and environments\n<\/li>\n<li>Extended field of view in the upper peripheral region to optimize for cycling\n<\/li>\n<li>Unobtanium earsocks and nosepads keep glasses in place, increasing grip despite perspiration\n<\/li>\n<li>Switchlock interchangeable lens technology makes lens changing lenses fast and secure\n<\/li>\n<li>Patented High Definition Optics\u00ae (HDO\u00ae) provides superior optical clarity and razor-sharp vision at every angle\n<\/li>\n<li>PRIZM ROAD LENSE\n<\/li>\n<li>Light Transmission: 20%\n<\/li>\n<li>Light Conditions: Changing Conditions\n<\/li>\n<li>Contrast: Increased\n<\/li>\n<li>Base Lens Color: Indigo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Product launch article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bikehub.co.za\/features\/_\/gear\/gear-news\/mark-cavendish-one-obsession-r2651\" rel=\"external nofollow\">https:\/\/www.bikehub.co.za\/features\/_\/gear\/gear-news\/mark-cavendish-one-obsession-r2651<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article_h1\">FLR F-75 Mountain Bike Shoes<\/h2>\n<p>The FLR F-75 features a carbon plate around the cleat area to provide rigidity, while the front and back of the sole is a nylon material allowing for some flex and comfort.

As the shoes just came through the door, I haven&#8217;t had a chance to test them on the mountain.
