ULAC HOKO SUNGLASSES BLACK / BLUE PHOTOCHOMATIC
Engineered for high-intensity athletic performance, the ULAC Hoko sunglasses merge aggressive styling with advanced optical technology.The standout feature is the 1.5mm thick cylindrical Köri photochromic lens, which dynamically darkens or clears depending on the level of UV exposure.This makes them the ultimate choice for variable conditions, such as cycling from open country roads into dense forest canopies, ensuring you never have to swap lenses mid-ride.
The chassis is constructed from high-grade TR90 polymer, a material celebrated for its lightweight flexibility, memory retention, and impact resistance.Weighing only 28 grams, the frame sits comfortably on the face, supported by adjustable nose pads that allow you to customise the fit and prevent slippage during sweaty efforts.To add massive value, these sunglasses come complete with a premium Neo Porter dual-purpose handlebar bag that doubles as a protective hard-shell case.

Why This IS For You
✅ All-Weather Adaptability: Perfect for all-day epic rides that begin at dawn and finish in bright sunlight, eliminating the need to carry spare clear and tinted lenses.
✅ Bonus Storage Solution: Excellent value for gravel riders and bikepackers who want high-end eyewear paired with a complimentary, functional handlebar bag.
✅ Prescription Ready: Ideal if you wear glasses, as the package includes a dedicated RX insert that allows opticians to fit prescription lenses inside the frame.
Why This May NOT Be For You
❌ Not Pre-Tinted For Intense Glare: If you exclusively ride in blinding, constant summer sun, you may prefer a permanently dark polarized lens over a transitioning photochromic lens.
❌ Requires Strict Cleaning Care: The specialized Köri lens coating is sensitive; you cannot use household cleaning fluids, alcohol, or paper tissues without risking damage.
❌ Slight Delay in Darkening: Like all photochromic lenses, there is a brief multi-second delay when transitioning from bright sunlight into sudden dark tunnels.
BFC PRO TIP
Because photochromic lenses react to ultraviolet (UV) radiation rather than visible light, they won't darken fully if you are driving inside a car, as modern windscreens block most UV rays. To get the absolute best out of your Hoko sunglasses, store them inside the included microfiber pouch when not in use—leaving them exposed on your dashboard or in the sun will prematurely age the active photochromic crystals in the lens!
