The halfrim design allied with the durable SPX material make this adidas evil eye halfrim pro model extremely light


adidas eyewear – New evil eye halfrim pro

Designed and manufactured by Silhouette International, the new Adidas evil eye halfrim pro model is influenced by the biking scene. The versatile halfrim model can be used in situations such as road racing, BMX and mountain biking.

The halfrim design and the durable, flexible SPX material make the eyewear extremely light. The removable sweatblocker is designed to stay in place during ascents or sprints, protecting the eyes from sweat and draughts. Thanks to its temple design, the evil eye halfrim pro fits under any helmet and sits perfectly on the face. The eyewear can also be individually adjusted: the nose pads can be adjusted in two ways, the temples in three ways, for optimal grip.

The aerodynamic model has strongly curved filters to provide a wide angle of vision while the filter technology ensures a clear view. The filters feature Light Stabilizing Technology, which compensates strong light variations and increases contrasts, ensuring clear vision.

An innovative and patented filter swapping system allows quick and easy replacement of filters, the company said.

The evil eye halfrim pro hit the retail shelves in January 2011. Visit www.adidas.com/eyewear
