VELO — Photochromic Wraparound Sport UV400 Sunglasses

One lens. Every condition. The VELO is Sunset Society's first performance sport frame — a photochromic wraparound built for cyclists, runners, hikers, and anyone who refuses to let changing light conditions dictate their pace.

Photochromic lenses are the smartest technology in eyewear: clear indoors and in low light, automatically darkening within seconds when UV light hits them. No swapping lenses. No carrying two pairs. The VELO adapts to your environment so you can stay focused on the ride, the trail, or the road.

The oversized wraparound shield design provides exceptional peripheral coverage — blocking wind, dust, and debris from every angle. The transparent grey frame is lightweight and aerodynamic, sitting flush with the face for a secure fit at speed.

A: The VELO's photochromic lenses typically transition from clear to fully dark within 20–30 seconds of UV exposure.

A: Yes. The VELO's windproof wraparound design and photochromic lenses make them well-suited for motorcycle use — particularly for dawn and dusk riding where light conditions change rapidly.
