The allure of a fancy pair of fashionable sunglasses is hard to resist and let’s face it there are some amazing looking sunglasses on the market. But I can’t begin to tell you how many pairs of expensive sunglasses I’ve lost, broken or sat on! So when I dropped into my local bike shop and saw a new range of colourful & sleek Endura Spectrum shades for only £15 a pop, I couldn’t resist.
As soon as I tried them on they fitted my head like a glove. The only downside I’ve found after a few rides, is that they can slip off your nose, especially when you’re facing down on your tri bars but to be honest I can live with that at that price… and they haven’t been lost or broken yet.
There are seven colours of Spectrum shades available from Endura but after trying them all on, I found the most versatile is this blue lens version. They come in blue, clear, orange, pink, yellow, smoke, soft tint.

Pro’s: Fantastic value for money, stylish and lots of colours to choose from.
Cons: Can slip off your nose a bit when facing down on your tri bars. One set of lenses (but wouldn’t expect more for the price).
