Ortovox is launching its first-ever mountain bike collection, the Sequence series, which includes two distinct lines: Trail and Free, aimed at integrating alpine values into biking.

The new Red Jersey is sleek and form-fitting with a full zip and a modern, body-contouring fit and cut, including a low-profile collar, shortened torso, and a longer sleeve length.

Joy Hui Lin experienced an unsettling encounter when two male university students recorded her without permission using Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, which she found to be a violation of her privacy.

The new Giant and Liv eyewear lineup revolves around a simple goal: clearer vision at speed. The glasses are designed to improve focus, contrast, and visual clarity across a wide range of riding environments, from high-speed road riding to gravel and trail use. The core of that system is a mix of premium lens technologies, paired with lightweight TR90 frames and extensive ventilation.

Like the other Sanctum sunglasses, the new Sanctum SL glasses do not have interchangeable lenses. However, with a starting price of $39.95, one could easily buy two pairs-low and high light levels-and still save money over some competitors.

Apple is said to be developing a new wave of AI-centric hardware. According to a seasoned journalist, the Cupertino-based tech giant's lineup of artificial intelligence (AI) devices includes smart glasses, camera-equipped AirPods, and a wearable pendant device. Apple is said to be exploring new form factors that extend beyond the iPhone and Vision Pro. While the company has yet to confirm these plans, the projects are reportedly in active development, with early prototypes already being tested internally.

The gravel edition sticks with the same PEBA and EVA hybrid midsole with a transition-smoothing curved rocker, but adds extra grip in the form of a 2.5-mm lugged outsole. There's also some extra reinforcement around the toe box.

The front of the eye, and the cornea in particular, has more nerve endings per millimetre square than anywhere else in the body, says Dr Dilani Siriwardena, a consultant NHS ophthalmologist at Moorfields eye hospital in London and vice-president of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists. So it can be very sensitive. The tiniest scratch or piece of grit in your eye can feel like a brick.

Blindness is a very scary disability, says Prof Lauren Ayton, deputy director of the Centre for Eye Research Australia at the University of Melbourne. But people don't realise actually about 90% of vision loss can be prevented or treated. And like many other problems, keeping the eyes healthy so often comes down to good diet, keeping active, and regular check-ups.

Enter THEMAGIC5, makers of the world's first custom-fitted swim goggles. Born out of necessity by Danish triathletes Bo Habber and Rasmus Barfred, its newly launched model-Vector with Formfit-uses proprietary technology to create one-of-a-kind goggles based on a facial scan via their smartphone app with stabilization points specific to your face.

Oakley Meta Vanguard was launched in India on Tuesday. Aimed at athletes who engage in outdoor activities, the smart glasses arrive as a redesigned version of the Ray-Ban Meta Glases. They feature a centrally-placed 12-megapixel camera with support for 1080p video recording at 60 frames per second (fps). Like the Ray-Ban Meta, the Oakley Meta Vanguard have Meta AI integration, enabling users to listen to or speak with Meta AI or on calls.

At first glance, the Oakley Meta Smart Glasses look like classic Oakley eyewear, but there's a surprising amount of technology packed into the frames. Meta AI is integrated directly into the glasses, working alongside an HD ultra-wide 12MPl camera and built-in five-microphone array. Together, they let you capture photos and videos either by tapping or completely hands-free, using simple voice commands.

Heel Drop Your standard heel drop in a running sneaker is between 6 and 10 mm. The lower the drop, the more grounded and controlled the run. The higher the drop, the more heel support and offloading of the calves and Achilles you get. Weight A heavier weight doesn't always mean more cushion, but in these cases it does. Heavier weight (and more cushion) is better for recovery runs and being gentle on joints, but it prevents you from going super fast or feeling agile.

At the end of the day, choosing your pair of Hokas will come down to personal preference. Think about your intended use and issues you have faced previously in walking shoes. If you're looking for a pair for walking that have more cushion than others, you will want to look for those that have the maximum cushion and stability. Or if you want a lightweight pair that you can also use for running, consider weight and versatility.

First, let's talk about the BBB Cycling FLUX lens. BBB designed the FLUX to be their most advanced lens, filtering out non-essential light across the spectrum. In doing so, the brand claims improved clarity and contrast, making it easier for your eyes to distinguish between colors and details. The FLUX lens blocks both UV-A and UV-B rays entirely, along with harmful infrared and blue light.

Smart glasses evangelists often tell me this fear is somewhat overblown. After all, the phone in your pocket also has a camera. The government already uses facial recognition tech, and CCTV feeds are everywhere. Anyone who's ever watched a true-crime documentary or an episode of Law & Order knows that these days, it's hard to step out in public and not be recorded.

Whether you are on the trail or riding the road, Pit Viper's 2026 Winter Olympic Original sunglasses will absolutely help you show your support. The 2026 Winter Olympic Originals feature everything rad about the Original glasses, with a flair of patriotism. Of course, it is done in a way that is distinctly Pit Viper. The frames are white and speckled with red and blue.

Overall World Cup XC Champion, Olympian, Leadville winner and record holder, and XC Marathon World Champion are just a few of the many accolades Kate Courtney has achieved in her impressive cycling career. This weekend, she'll be able to add 'starring in a Super Bowl commercial' to her growing list of accomplishments. Oakley and Meta are teaming up for a commercial featuring Kate, along with a number of other prominent athletes and personalities, to push the Vanguard Meta AI sunglasses.

The headphones' lightweight design provides a full wrap-around frame that sits lightly on the back of your head, so there's no pressure inside your ears and no clamping force on your ears. That makes them ideal for extended periods of running, hiking, or working and listening to music/podcasts without discomfort in your ears. In addition, they can be used in conjunction with sunglasses, hats, and helmets, thereby minimizing clutter on your head.

First available in October of 2025, Solos is positioning the AirGo A5 as lightweight, comfortable smart glasses with hands-free AI assistance and a long-lasting battery. As a result, the target audience differs from that of the popular Meta Ray-Ban glasses, which are geared more towards content creation, as these are more intended for the AI enthusiast. Yet, they are still an investment, with the cheapest frames costing $249, so I put them to the test to determine if they are worth the price.
