KOO Alibi Semi-Frameless Cycling Sunglasses Review - feat. Grilamid Frame + Vented Lens + Oversized

KOO has designed the Alibi collection of sunglasses to combine the sleekness of smaller cycling sunglasses with modern performance and aesthetics. As a result, the KOO Alibi sunglasses have a semi-frameless design with an oversized ventilated lens that still looks compact for any type of cycling discipline. The sunglasses retail for $190 with standard Zeiss lenses and $235 for the photochromic variation which can adjust to the environment. KOO has utilized a semi-frameless design which eliminates the frame at the bottom edge of the lens with beveled edges for a sporty look. The frame is constructed of Grilamid for lightweight and strength along with rounded temple arms to hold them securely in place. The KOO Alibi sunglasses are attractive oversized cycling sunglasses with restrained styling and modern optics. Visually, the lenses have beveled edges and an oversized lens that surprisingly doesn’t look oversized. The combination of the thin frame and angled lens edges help the Alibi hide its size and give them a classic look. KOO offers the sunglasses in eight lens and matte frame color options from subtle black and gold mirror lenses to bright options like the white and fuchsia photochromic variation we have in this review. Branding is limited to KOO on the front of the lens and on the temple arms. This is a semi frameless frame design which means you only have a top brow portion with a connector that attaches to the nose pad. The nose piece has an interesting three pront attachment design to the lens rather than a traditional wrap around piece. As with other premium sunglasses, the Alibi uses a Grilamid construction which is both lightweight and quite strong. You can flex the sunglasses or drop them without worrying about damaging or breaking it. The sunglasses are also relatively small which means they hug your face but fit as well as other KOO sunglasses like the Demos we’ve previously reviewed. One of the main features of the Alibi are the rounded temple arms which create a secure fit. The temple arms bend inward which ensures they stay in place regardless of the type of terrain you are riding. Unlike other sunglasses which have some sort of rubber ear sock, the Alibi arms just have a textured finish at the ends. The temple arms also have a locking design which requires a bit of extra force to open or close beyond the 45 degree angle... ...
