Test: 100% Speedcraft - Glasses from another era?

The first riders with the special glasses appeared at the end of last season, and recently Peter Sagan also switched to the brand. We immediately had to find out which manufacturer the "80s-look-alike glasses" were from. The glasses are also available in subtle colors and positively surprised during the test.

Bike goggles are an issue: either they don't fit your head or helmet, or they just look terrible. At 100%, tastes are divided at first. The goggles have their own look, but after careful consideration and the first tests, they are convincing.

Giant field of vision

The Speedcraft has a huge field of vision. No distracting frames or temples appear in the field of vision. The goggles are also impressive while riding. You almost feel like you're wearing Google. Only a small draught of air passes through the lenses. However, this has its great benefits: The goggles start up relatively quickly without a draught - the ventilation means that the fog disappears after the first few meters and the draught reached.

The goggles fit well on the nose, two corresponding nose bridges allow individual adjustments. Even when choosing a helmet, we didn't come across any annoying temples. Although they are relatively stiff, they stay in place thanks to the silicone coating. The goggles are also available in two different versions, for larger and smaller face shapes.

Two different lenses included

The Speedcraft comes with two different lenses. We opted for the mirror black lens. The low-light lens is also supplied. The mirrored version of the lens is primarily intended for bright, sunny rides. Changing light conditions are no problem and you can keep a clear view, but the lens reaches its limits on many forest passages, where a slightly brighter version would probably have been the better choice. This is also proven by the quick lens change to the low-light lenses. These darken only slightly, but still provide sufficient protection from the sun's rays. However, the contrasts remain strong in both versions.

Conclusion

If you are looking for slightly more special and larger glasses, the Speedcraft is the perfect choice. The large lenses provide ideal protection against annoying draughts. If your budget doesn't allow for self-tinting lenses, the Speedcraft comes with two lenses for a little less money.
