These sunglasses are as light as a feather

Can do a lot, but doesn't show off: the Uvex Sportstyle 706 Vario

There are more colourful, unusual and futuristic bike goggles than the Uvex Sportstyle 706 Vario. They are simple. And that's not the only reason they're good.
An extra bend in the temple to suggest dynamism? It doesn't have one. Air inlets visible from afar to channel the airflow? It doesn't need them. A colourful mirrored mono lens to optimise the field of vision? Not with this model. The Uvex Sportstyle 706 Vario consistently dispenses with show effects. But not on the essentials. I like this combination. To recognise its advantages, you have to take a closer look at these glasses.
At first glance, the robust frame distracts from the fact that they fit very well. I have a rather narrow face, but the adjustable ear and nose pieces do their job and ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Under the helmet too, of course. That's a good thing, because with its varifocal lenses, the Sportstyle is predestined to stay on your nose even on long tours.
Light and shadow? No problem
The photochromic lenses adapt to the light conditions and cover protection levels S1 to S3. You are equipped for everything from bright sunshine to cloudy weather or shady passages. They respond well to changeable conditions. Just be aware of one thing: The lenses are not completely clear, there is always a slight tint.
If you want a colour and contrast filter in addition to the varifocal lenses, you can find it in the Uvex Sportstyle 706 Colorvision V.
