EDGE
Koo is the eyewear branch from protection giants Kask, a company which is extremely popular with road and gravel riders alike. The Edge goggles are Koo’s first venture into the gravity-focused rider market and, while it's totally different to anything it has produced before, it utilises the same proven cylindrical lens technology used throughout a chunk of its sunglasses range. Its foam-covered venting design causes some issues though and it’s hyper-expensive.
The Edge lens has been designed in partnership with optical experts ‘Zeiss’ to give maximum performance and clarity in a general mountain bike environment. The integrated lens features are said to boost visual clarity, enhance definition and colour in all weather conditions while remaining durable and scratch-resistant. The lens is fixed into the frame with a tabbed slot-in style design that means it’s easy to chop and change between the four different lens options Koo offers without too much faff or fingerprint contamination. All four 100% UV protected lens options are available aftermarket and offered in a variety of tint options, meaning there should be a shade to suit regardless of your condition requirements. We tested the clear lens version as it's best suited to winter riding conditions here in the UK.
