They might not be from the first company you'd go to in search of sunglasses, but these Adidas Evil Eye Half Rims are seriously impressive and are more than a match for sunnies from some of the more established brands.

The most impressive thing about these sunglasses is the ventilation. I wore these sunglasses on a number of rides around the North Downs, and even when stopping at the top of a steep climb where it finished by meeting a major road I experienced very little steaming up, even when breathing hard and standing still while waiting for a gap in the traffic. And what steaming up did occur cleared within seconds of setting off again.
