CHPO Henrik - Photochromic

CHPO Henrik Photochromic are photochromic cycling glasses for days when the light changes and you don’t want to deal with swapping lenses. The photochromic lenses automatically adjust to light conditions, from relatively bright to considerably darker, making Henrik especially useful on longer rides where you might encounter clouds, forest shade, and stronger sunshine all in the same day.

The lens has a light transmission of 78–14 percent and works within categories 1–3. In practice, this means the glasses work in everything from overcast and low daylight to sunnier conditions. They are not, however, intended as fully clear glasses for night riding. UV400 protection provides complete protection against UV radiation regardless of how dark the lens is.

Henrik has CHPO’s larger fit and a substantial lens that provides good coverage around the eyes. It’s the model for anyone who wants a little more protection from the wind – or, as we usually put it, for anyone who tends to shed a tear when things start getting fast. The shape works just as naturally on a gravel or road bike as on a commuter bike, providing significantly more coverage than a regular pair of sunglasses.

The matte black frame is made from 100 percent recycled plastic. The look is sporty without being overly technical, making Henrik a pair of cycling glasses that are easy to wear off the bike too.

The great thing about Henrik Photochromic is really its simplicity. You get a pair of glasses that covers a wide range of light conditions you’ll normally encounter while cycling, instead of having to choose between clear and dark lenses before you set off. If you often ride in changing daylight, it’s probably the only pair you need.
