Scicon Aeroshades and Aerowing Sunglasses Review

By Sheri Rosenbaum

Scicon’s Next Generation Eyewear

As the 2020 Tour de France was getting started, Scicon was unveiling two new pairs of cycling sunglasses, the Aeroshade and Aerowing. If you were watching Stage 1, maybe you noticed Alexander Kristoff wearing the Aeroshade, and then starting Stage 2 with a custom pair in yellow to match his jersey.

Aeroshade

The all new Aeroshade features a frame equipped with what Scicon Sports calls “Horizon Adapt.” According to the company, it is the world’s first height-adjustable nose pad that allows the rider to tailor the field of vision depending on their riding position. Just push or pull the nosepiece to position the lens for an unobstructed view. The Aeroshade features a frame design that further increases the field of vision using the Panorama Arch™.


Aerowing

The new Aerowing has large lens shape with a laser-etched finish. It allows placement of a rimless cylindrical shield near the face and a vented brow construction allows for increased airflow to avoid fogging. For adjustability, the Aerowing has interchangeable nose pads with a double click mechanism for a more custom fit and adjustable temple tips. 

Features of Both Styles

Both the Aeroshade and the Aerowing styles feature:

  • SCN-PP True Vision, a performance lens technology that provides protection against high-mass and high velocity impact as well as optical clarity and a mirror coating that reduces glare and reflects sun rays away from the eye.
  • 100% UV protection.
  • Interchangeable lens system to adapt to different lighting conditions (Multimirror Red, Multimirror Blue, Multimirror Bronze, Multimirror Silver, Clear and Photochromatic Silver Mirror)
  • Three frame options: Black Gloss, White Gloss, and Crystal Gloss
  • XL frame size

What’s included in the box?

Both models come with a softshell zipper case and carabiner clip, a microfiber case that doubles as a cleaning cloth and a clear lens.

Both styles are available at sciconsports.com and select retailers.

Aeroshade: $225

Aerowing: $215.

    Sheri, being nearsighted, I’m less interested in stylish eyeware than I am in stylish (or at least utilitarian) prescription eyeware. If you could note in your reviews whether the companies provide this option, or if you ever get a chance to exercise your reviewing skills on some, I bet I’m not your only fan who would enjoy reading about them. Thanks!

      Dan,
      Most of the high end optics companies make RX versions.
      https://sciconsports.com/ww_en/eyewear/rx-eyeglasses-and-frames
      And Jim Langley reviewed Tifosi readers a while back.

      But definitely will keep in mind for future reviews.
      Tks
      Sheri

        Thanks, Sheri. I had looked at the link to the Scicon RX sport glasses, such as: https://sciconsports.com/us_en/aerocomfort-cycling-sunglasses-rx-optical-dock-prescription-lenses , and had to laugh. I know a few languages, but that one is beyond me. It seems to combine Latin and Hungarian. Not much help, but it’s a hoot! Anyway, thanks again for your great reviews.

    I bought a pair of Smith Attach glasses and the part of the frame broke, they say the have a lifetime Warranty, yet when I sent photos and information they replied recieved. Yet after 6 weeks have not heard anything, why promote a Warranty when you don’t reply?
