Main Use

The main use for the CTRL ONE for me will be to use them for bike rides that I have planned for this year. One of the rides that I’m going on is From Amsterdam to Barcelona, which will be a great time to test the durability of the CTRL ONE over many days of bike touring.

First Test

Riding to work today, I had the CTRL ONE on for the first time, they fitted me great, the adjustable nose strap was easy to adjust, I put the tint on automatic. It was a pleasant ride the glasses worked great, I did not notice any lag in the tint while being in bright sunlight or being in the shade of a building.

Overall a great experience.
