Scicon launches its Aerostorm glasses, a new model distinguished by its innovative design and technical features. These glasses are equipped with a toric lens designed to optimize visual comfort, protection, and aerodynamics. Their particularity lies in an integral design, where the frame is fused to the lens, offering a homogeneous structure. With an announced weight of 30 g, they are offered at €150, or €200 with the Rx optical insert.

Founded in 1980 in Bassano del Grappa, Italy, Scicon initially established itself as a benchmark in bike and cyclist luggage. Its transport bags, acclaimed from their beginnings by big names in cycling, are still used today by leading teams such as UAE Team Emirates and Team Jayco Alula. In 2019, the brand expanded its offering with sports eyewear, leading to the development of the Aerostorm. This model relies on a modern approach, integrating technological advancements and careful ergonomics.

Toric-shaped Lens

The Aerostorm aims to reinvent sports eyewear, particularly for cycling, by focusing on safety, aerodynamics, and lightness. Its Space Vision Toric lens, with a toric shape, is made of molded polycarbonate and meets high standards, exceeding, according to Scicon, certain military norms. This design, the result of a collaboration between the Scicon Sports Innovation Center, artificial intelligence, and designer David Michaud – with over 20 years of experience –, stands out for its technicality and advanced aesthetics.

To adapt to a wide variety of faces, the glasses integrate the 3D Face Fit program, associated with three nose bridge sizes (16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm) made of TPE thermo-polymer and flexible temples featuring TactiGrip coating, effective against sweat or humidity. The lens, ventilated by the VortexFlow system with five openings, is compatible with Slide Fit inserts for visual corrections ranging from +4 to -8 diopters, suitable for single vision or progressive lenses.

Nine Colors

Classified in category 3 with UV400 protection, the lens is available in nine finishes (smoked black, multi-mirror blue, light blue, multi-mirror violet, multi-mirror silver, multi-mirror gold, multi-mirror bronze, multi-mirror sun, and multi-mirror green) and benefits from an oleophobic and hydrophobic treatment to maintain its clarity in wet weather. The frame, made of nylon, contributes to the overall lightness. The price is set at €150 for the base model, €200 with the Rx insert, the latter also being sold separately for €80.
