Eyewear Built for Real-World Riding - The Hosking Bikes Approach
At Hosking Bikes, eyewear is not an accessory - it is essential equipment. Whether you are riding to work, heading out for a long weekend loop, or navigating unpredictable weather, your eyewear plays a critical role in keeping your eyes safe, comfortable and protected.
This approach is grounded in Chloe Hosking’s experience riding in a wide range of environments around the world. From the intense Australian sun at the Tour Down Under, to crosswinds across Belgium, to cold spring rain at Amstel Gold, Chloe has seen how quickly conditions can shift and how vital reliable eyewear becomes. Good glasses don’t change the conditions, but they protect you from them.
TrueSight – Protection-First Lenses for Cyclists
Our lens system, TrueSight, is designed for riders who face changing light, weather, and road conditions. Rather than flashy effects, TrueSight prioritises protection, clarity, and reliable performance so you can focus on the ride.
TrueSight lenses use a multi-layer, impact-resistant base to provide lightweight protection from debris, insects, and road spray. The lenses feature a multi-layer coating that improves contrast and keeps subtle details visible under tree cover or in low sun.
How TrueSight lenses are constructed:
- Multi-layer mirror coating: reduces glare and enhances contrast in inconsistent lighting conditions.
- Impact-resistant polycarbonate base: lightweight protection against debris and road spray.
- UV400 protection: shields eyes from UVA and UVB exposure, even on bright or high-altitude rides.
- Optical stability: maintains accurate colour and detail under changing light for safer riding.
The result is subtle but effective: detail stays readable, colours remain accurate, and your vision is consistent across changing conditions. TrueSight lenses remove distractions so you can ride safely and comfortably, whatever the weather.
Frames Built for Cycling
Comfort is essential for staying focused and relaxed. Our frames are constructed from TR90, a Swiss-developed nylon material widely used by leading eyewear brands including Oakley, POC, Rudy Project and 100%.
What makes TR90 special?
- extremely lightweight and comfortable for long rides
- flexible rather than brittle, providing better durability
- resistant to heat, cold and UV exposure
- maintains its shape without warping
- offers a stable, secure fit across varied riding conditions
TR90 has become an industry standard because it is dependable - it bends instead of breaking, withstands temperature changes and remains comfortable across long days in the saddle.
Designed for the Rides Most People Take
While Chloe’s experience across the world informs our understanding of eyewear performance, our focus is not exclusively on racing. It is on real riders and the everyday conditions they face.
A bright morning commute. Afternoon glare. Sudden wind gusts. Light drizzle on a long weekend ride. Conditions change constantly, and eyewear needs to perform consistently without becoming a distraction.
That is why we prioritise the fundamentals:
- frames that stay in place without pinching
- lenses that remain clear and dependable
- materials that last through years of riding
- protection that does not require thought
Why Eyewear Matters More Than Most Riders Realise
Your vision is one of your most important safety tools on the bike. Quality eyewear reduces strain, improves focus and keeps you protected when conditions turn unfriendly. The right pair may not make you faster, but it makes you safer and more comfortable - and that makes every ride better.
