VALLON Enters The Cycling Sunglasses Market
VALLON launches their first cycling eyewear – the ‘WatchtowersTM’. Unisex sunglasses for cyclists, they are particularly aimed at hybrid cycling enthusiasts exploring on- and off-road, as well as biking professionals taking on the world’s most difficult endurance bikepacking challenges. Like all VALLON products, they are covered by their Lifetime Warranty.
The world’s best sustainable cycling sunglasses, VALLON WatchtowersTM feature ultra-durable frames made from 85% recycled fishing nets, as well as shatterproof, ultraclear Carl ZEISS lens technology.
The WatchtowersTM mark a new chapter for VALLON – a company dedicated to producing performance sports eyewear, without compromising on classic style. Inspired by a classic 80s silhouette, the WatchtowersTM are VALLON’s first cycling sunglasses, designed for bikepackers and gravel cyclists.
Product features:
The WatchtowersTM are designed for optimal performance, clarity and durability:
– The WatchtowerTM frames are made from 85% recycled fishing nets. Unlike other sustainable sunglasses, these materials have been transformed into a strong and durable nylon 6, and tested to match the performance of non-recycled materials used in cycling sunglasses.
– Nylon 6 is sturdy yet flexible, enabling VALLON to use the same material from brow to temple end, giving the The WatchtowersTM uniquely soft temples. Combined with a rubber grip, like memory foam, the temple ends contour to your preferred shape behind your ears. This helps keep your sunglasses secure, and alleviates pressure on your mastoid area for all-day comfort.
– The WatchtowersTM are available in three distinct colorways: Black Smoke, Dark Teal Copper and Silver Blue.
– The lenses are developed with ZEISS’s RiPel technology – a hydrophobic and oleophobic coating that repels water and oils.
– Inspired by a minimalist 80s silhouette, the result is a clean and aerodynamic single-lens product, built for modern-day performance.
– They come with interchangeable soft silicone nose pads in three different sizes, to provide extra comfort, security – and most importantly, adjustable ventilation – depending on the biking activity.
– Purpose-built for cyclists pursuing hybrid, gravel, off-road, and long-distance bikepacking adventures worldwide.
– The sunglasses are delivered in a soft VALLON pouch. Ideal for lightweight protection whilst on the move.
– Like all our products, the WatchtowersTM are covered by the VALLON Lifetime Warranty.
– 1kg of plastic waste is cleaned up and recycled for every pair sold.
