Cyclists expect their glasses to do several things: keep their vision clear, prevent dirt and debris from getting into their eyes and be comfortable. Giro’s Semi fits the bill with a half-frame style with polycarbonate lenses. The streamlined frame is designed to fit comfortably with a helmet and offers good field of vision and sun protection, while also keeping out road and trail dirt.
