Giro Tone and Coy sunglasses

For 2010 Giro expands upon their line of sport orientated glasses with some more casual off the bike designs. Giro has the boys covered with the new Tone, but the ladies are not forgotten either as the Coy is looking great as well. Both new pieces of eyewear are made in Italy and were looking tempting under the intense 'Vegas sun. I think I would have even settled for the ladies Coy!

iamtoad.... if you would actually read the captions instead of just looking at the pictures like a 4 year old, you would have caught the gender they were meant for.

pink lens and an overall girly look... maybe?

buying "real" sunglasses is for chumps... I bought some good quality fakes when I was living in Vietnam... they cost me 1/150th of the price of the real ones and they're almost identical in design and quality.

honestly, my hands are perfectly fine in them. They are kinda bulky looking next to the "riding" gloves, but there fine on the trails. Plus mine are bright yellow/black. Really eye catching Big Grin

I have used my giro remedy gloves all season with no problems, no sign of major wear either, even though i washed them and it completely f*cked the pittards leather in the palm. I love them, never had a better fitting glove. I must say giro is stepping it up with the new gear and alot of it being made in italy, i'll be a customer for life.
