BBB Chester Flux sunglesses review: Budget wraparound riding sunglasses that match the big brands on looks and lens quality
BBB Cycling's glasses offer you all the protection your eyes need when riding, and do so for a fraction of the cost of the well-known brands
The BBB Cycling Chester Flux sunglasses are an affordable alternative to high-end cycling sunglasses like Oakley and Rokas. Priced under £50, these wrap-around sunglasses are made of Rilsan, a bio-based nylon derived from castor oil, making them recyclable. They come in a protective zipped case and cleaning bag, ensuring their longevity.
Weighing just 37.7g, the Chester Flux is lightweight and comfortable, sitting securely on the nose and ears with minimal pressure behind the ears. The 143mm wide hinge, 93mm wide tips, and 58mm lens height provide excellent coverage. The lenses offer superior protection against light, wind, and debris with impressive contrast and flat lens profiles for minimal distortion.
The lenses feature an anti-scratch surface, which, while not completely water-resistant, maintains a scratch-free appearance with careful handling. An oleophobic coating helps repel water droplets, although a few drops may remain. When fitted with a Van Rysel helmet, the glasses are secure and do not push down on the helmet. Overall, these budget sunglasses offer excellent value and performance for cycling, running, and other sports.
