The best cycling glasses are not just an expensive fashion accessory; the best cycling sunglasses perform the vital function of allowing you to see the road ahead clearly at speed by protecting your eyes from insects and grit. They also provide protection against harmful UV light, wind and rain and must do so without fogging up.

Just like the best road bike helmets, to work they must fit securely without slipping down on rough surfaces, no matter how much you sweat, and be comfortable to wear for hours on end.

After winning the 2019 National Single-Speed Cross-Country Mountain Biking Championships and claiming the plushie unicorn (true story), Stefan swapped the flat-bars for drop-bars and has never looked back. 

Since then, he’s earnt his 2ⁿᵈ cat racing licence in his first season racing as a third, completed the South Downs Double in under 20 hours and Everested in under 12.

But his favourite rides are multiday bikepacking trips, with all the huge amount of cycling tech and long days spent exploring new roads and trails - as well as histories and cultures. Most recently, he’s spent two weeks riding from Budapest into the mountains of Slovakia
