I’m a tech guy though, and as much as anything else I’ve been wondering about Scicon sunglasses. We included some of its models in our list of the best cycling sunglasses, but it’s been winter and I hadn’t worn them in a while. As the days have become warmer I’ve been out testing some of the best aero helmets and was in need of bold glasses to match the style. As I looked through the options I had, the Scicon Aerowatt jumped out as a definite match. If you have also found yourself feeling curious about the brand of glasses Tadej Pogačar wears but Mark Cavendish doesn’t, keep reading to see what this specific model, the Aerowatt, is like.
Tech specs: Scicon Aerowatt Sunglasses
Price: €220 / $230
Weight: 34g as tested
Colour options: Frame options are Gloss Black/White/Crystal and lens options are Multimirror Blue/Red/Bronze/Silver or Photochromatic with clear included
Design and aesthetics
The Scicon Aerowatt sunglasses are some of the most extreme glasses I have. For one thing, they are huge. My tape measure shows 140mm temple to temple and that space is almost entirely dominated by the lens. That matches with another massive pair of glasses I’ve tested, the Roka CP-1x but even those glasses pale in comparison if you check the vertical measurement. At 65mm tall, the lenses on the Aerowatt dwarf nearly everything I can find. Only the outright goggle-style lenses of the POC Devour are bigger.
Unlike the POC glasses though, the Aerowatt isn’t rounded and bubbly. The lens is a massive shield but it’s all angles and cuts. From every direction, there’s a detail and it always looks in motion. Things like the sharp edge and series of cuts that sit just outside of the field of view make sure to drive home the point as does the segmented detail in the arms.
When it comes to the colours available, they seem to have a sharp edge as well. There are a total of 15 combinations but they are a repeat of three frame colours. Choose black gloss, white gloss, or clear, then pair up red, blue, gold, or silver mirrored options with VLT (visible light transmission) ratings of 15%, 11% for the blue I have, 17%, and 12% for silver. There is also a photochromatic option if you need more flexibility than simply swapping between a chosen colour and the included clear.
