"Back in the spring, I first noticed Roka's new San Remo and San Remo Air sunglasses on some of its sponsored athletes racing in the year's earliest gravel events. They immediately stood out to me, not because they were super flashy, but rather because they were a pretty significant departure from the brand's typical aesthetic. Instead of the more angular shapes and somewhat in-your-face styling of Roka's existing sport models, the San Remo Air has curved lines and a more casual, but still performance-oriented look."
"I've worn Roka's performance sunglasses in the past, and while I felt the optics were great and the performance level was high, I didn't particularly care for the style. Not that I'm a style icon or anything, but I prefer to be comfortable with the way I look if given the option. That's why I was happy to see Roka introduce the San Remo and San Remo Air models earlier this year."
The Roka San Remo Air features curved lines and a retro-influenced casual aesthetic that contrasts with Roka's angular sport models. The frame maintains a sporty look while offering a lifestyle-oriented appearance. The San Remo Air was worn across daily rides, trail runs, a 10K, and night rides, with the Photochromic Carbon lens adapting to varied light conditions. The lens performed well from midday sun and challenging November sun angles to night-ride tests with bike lights. Roka athlete Keegan Swenson raced in the model without apparent performance compromise. Roka also offers a non-Air San Remo variant.
