First Look - Oakley RadarLock
"If you’re like me and always running a few minutes late for a ride, you’ll know what a bitch it is to realise, just before you jump onboard, that the weather’s different from yesterday, and if you’re going to cope with fog, or intense sunlight, or darkness, you’re going to have to change the lenses in your glasses.

Cue Oakley’s ‘SwitchLock technology’, a simple button on the inside of one hinge, which, once open, allows you to pull out the entire lense and replace it in a few seconds.
These glasses are quick to change, but also crystal clear and with barely any distortion, something that’s essential for precision mountain biking. Even better, on the road they leave your peripheral vision nice and clear for car-spotting. RadarLocks are a brilliant update on the original Radar, and sit easily and lightly on your head and will grip comfortably in your helmet vents or, around the back of your head if you prefer to do that when you find that, afterall, you’ve put the wrong lenses in.”
A full review will be in issue 141, out in April
