ALBA OPTICS Delta Black

Alba Optics Delta Black cycling sunglasses are inspired by models from the 80’s and 90’s.

Laurent Fignon, The Professor, wins the Giro d’Italia in 1989 only a few months before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Computers make their way into homes and offices. Gianni Bugno makes people dream. Miguel Indurain becomes the last of the biggest champions. It is the beginning for a Russian, Berzin, and the only time for the pirate, Pantani, who is responsible for a rebirth in the passion for Italian cycling.

The material of the frames is Tr90, made from nylon and carbon fiber, organically compatible and safe for the skin even after prolonged use. It is 20% lighter than other conventional materials and it offers more protection against crashes and tractions. It provides a high resilience without deformation when exposed to high temperatures, after being bent, it reverts to its original shape. The glasses wearability allows perfect vision when shifting your eyes from the pedals to the road. This particular aspect enables the athlete to stay focused on their performance without interference. The temples are strong and guaranteed to stay put even in case of shocks or sudden head movements.

Alba Optics Delta Black uses VZUM™ A-LENS made from scratch resistant polycarbonate base 6 non-centered to enable a fixed vision without side deformation. Their curve covers an optical cone of 180°, allowing excellent protection against the wind and strong light, that often reflects on other sunglasses creating an eye blinding effect. The shock absorbent, unbreakable material provides an excellent resilience.
