As a presentation: I have been an addict ever since Dana The Duke went on a tour in France mid-Eighties, we were using Oakley goggles on the BMX track but with Eyeshades and then Blades we could look cool road racing or hanging around. Then came Mumbos and M Frames as the weapon of choice on the road bike and the pinnacle for me would be the RadarXL that retained most of the minimalism/ purity of design from the Blades combined with functionality for bike racing ( and training). From there I felt the design of the successors became too busy for my taste ( Radarlock, Radar EV, Jawbreaker) even if I could appreciate the functionality. Enter Sutro: back to a minimal design with pure lines but at the detriment of function on the road for me ( obstructed vision by the frame, lack of earsocks) and finally Sutro Lite with the potential for being my new favorite on the bike.
However so far after the launch we are still waiting for clear or low light replacement lenses, I can't find Factory Pilot replacement lenses to match my Factory Pilot frames. And the addition to my collection of a Sweep Vented made it clear that I need a bigger rubber nose guard ( asia fit indeed): despite researching the web for a week I can't manage to find those.
And what happened to the custom Factory Pilot models?
Collabs, Ltd editions and hype but lack of an overall plan.
