  • Oakley Sutro sunglasses review

    1 month ago | off.road.cc | James Blackwell

    Oakley has always been a trendsetter and innovator. The Sutro model has been around for a while and was one of the earliest oversized glasses available. Bold and versatile with a large lens range boasting Oakley's Prizm technology, they certainly look the business. Super comfortable and stable, I had no issues with compatibility with any of my MTB or gravel helmets. Optical clarity and colour separation are phenomenal in bright conditions, and they look awesome.

    Known for its well-priced bikes, Boardman has also produced a wallet friendly flat-pedal-specific MTB shoe with casual styling that looks good. Reinforced areas at the toe and heel offer added protection, and the level of comfort is pretty good, considering the price. The grip on offer is pretty impressive, but off the bike, I could feel every root and rock through the sole, and some foot fatigue crept in on longer rides.
