Test: Adidas Kumacross Halfrim - eye protection for many things

It doesn't always have to be sport-specific products to be convincing. For example, the sporty "Kumacross Halfrim" multisport glasses from Adidas surprised us after years of only riding trails with cycling glasses. The test reveals why these glasses are also ideal for biking.

The "Kumacross Halfrim" is very inconspicuous, perhaps also because it is designed as multisport eyewear. At first glance, they are not equipped with as many features as other products. It has a very simple but high-quality design. Because on closer inspection, the qualities are hidden.

The fit of the goggles is usually very individual, but they fitted us well, neither the temples nor the nose pads pinch and the lenses offer good protection against the wind. The ventilation works well so far, but like most sunglasses, they also struggle with the problem of the lenses fogging up in the cold.

Slim, comfortable and absolutely trail-ready: the Adidas "Kumakross Halfrim".

Strong lenses
The highlight of the glasses is the high quality of the lenses. We were able to test the "LST Active Silver" model, which turned out to be excellent all-round lenses. Whether it was bright sunlight in the mountains or rapidly changing light situations in slightly dim forests, visibility was always good with pleasant contrasts and colors. Except in dense fog or after dusk, where a clear lens is needed, no other tint was ever missed.

The good thing is that the glasses have an interchangeable lens option and a whole twelve different tints on offer. Everyone will find what they are looking for.
For people with poor eyesight, there are also two different clip-in systems for corrective lenses on offer or you can install lenses ground to your own dioptre.

After the four-month test phase, there was no wear at all. But you would expect that from glasses in this price category - CHF 155 retail price.

Conclusion: The Adidas "Kumacross Halfrim" are multisport glasses with a good price-performance ratio that are ideal for biking. They are ideal for people who prefer no-frills products but don't want to compromise on style and functionality.
