Silhouette sunglasses – first look

When the sun eventually breaks through (or we’re lucky enough to head overseas for some tri action) a good pair of sunnies are a must for training and racing.

Hoping to bridge the gap between style and performance are Silhouette Sun, a lifestyle brand that have long been favourites for outdoor activities.

The glasses are very lightweight and tougher than they initially look, featuring a hingeless design and titian aluminium frames to make them light yet durable. Each pair also features anti-glare polarisation and blue light technology with 100% UVA, B and C protection.

Prices from £130 (Futura design pictured £300) from Silhouette Sun.
