Kilpi Lecanto Photo-U Photochromic Sunglasses - TU0905KI
Kilpi Lecanto Photo-U Sports Sunglasses with Automatic Variable-Tint Lenses, UV 400 Protection, Anti-Fog Ventilation & Hard Protective Case
The Kilpi Lecanto Photo-U Photochromic Sports Sunglasses (TU0905KI) are the ultimate choice for cyclists (road & MTB), runners (running / trail running), as well as demanding hiking or outdoor travel adventures. Designed around the needs of high-performance athletes, they combine an ultra-lightweight semi-frame construction on the upper section with large, stylish lenses that provide an unobstructed field of vision and superior aerodynamic protection against wind and insects.
The greatest advantage of the Kilpi Lecanto is its advanced photochromic lenses made from durable polycarbonate material. These lenses feature automatic tint adjustment (Photochromic Smoke) depending on sunlight intensity. Under strong sunlight, the lenses automatically darken up to Category 3, which is ideal for very bright conditions, offering light transmission between 8-18%. On the other hand, when entering shaded environments (such as forest trails), the lenses become lighter to maintain maximum visual clarity. At the same time, they provide complete UV 400 protection, fully blocking harmful UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C rays up to 400 nanometers.
To prevent annoying fogging during intense physical activity, the lenses feature special micro-perforated ventilation holes on the upper section. These openings allow controlled airflow and immediate moisture evacuation, preventing fog buildup even during low-speed climbs or intense uphill efforts. Their ergonomic design offers full compatibility with modern cycling helmet structures, preventing pressure points around the temples.
The stability of the sunglasses on the face is exemplary thanks to high-quality anti-slip rubber / silicone components. Both the temples and the adjustable nose bridge (nose pad) maintain a secure grip on the skin, preventing slipping caused by sweat or vibrations. Weighing only 35-40 grams, you practically forget you are wearing them, while the package is completed with a premium hard protective case and a soft cleaning pouch.

Tactical Corner Tip for the Kilpi Lecanto Photochromic Sunglasses
The Kilpi Lecanto Photo-U sunglasses are the perfect companion for training sessions that start early in the morning or finish late in the afternoon, where lighting conditions constantly change. Their maximum performance (Category 3 - 8-18% light transmission) is achieved under direct sunlight conditions.
Important Usage Note: Because these are dedicated sports photochromic protective sunglasses, they are not suitable for driving or use during dusk, twilight, or extremely low-visibility conditions (such as dense nighttime fog), as the lens base maintains a slight tint at all times.
Maintenance Tip: The micro-ventilation holes on the upper lens area work exceptionally well against fogging. However, sweat residue may eventually leave salt deposits. After every demanding workout, rinse the sunglasses with lukewarm running water (without harsh soaps) and dry them exclusively using the included microfiber pouch to keep the anti-fog ventilation channels perfectly clean.
