POC DO Blade glasses


As pricey as some top end Oakleys, POC’s DO Blade glasses have a lot to live up to. POC’s large lenses fortunately offer ridiculous levels of clarity and a complete lack of distortion, so we never found our eyes straining after a full day’s wear. They’re lightweight, and the adjustable nosepiece and flexible arms help keep them comfortable too.

The large lenses make you look bug-eyed, but the lenses extend higher than many other glasses so if you’re a head-down type rider you won’t find the frame encroaching on your vision. Ventilation isn’t quite as good as Oakley’s vented lenses, so they fog a little easier, but they do clear fairly quickly. Various lens and frame options are available, and it’s relatively easy to swap lenses over.

Price 300$

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.
