Koo Glasses to be worn in the World Tour

Trek-Segafredo men’s and women’s World Tour teams will be wearing the Italian eyewear brand from 2019.

The men’s team debuted their new look at last week’s Tour Down Under where new signing Richie Porte won the race’s Queen stage on Willunga Hill for the sixth successive year. Alongside Porte, the men’s lineup includes classics star John Degenkolb, GC rider Bauke Mollema and, one of the breakthrough riders of 2018, Jasper Stuyven.

The women’s team were also showcasing the Koo glasses at the Women’s Tour Down Under, where the team won the first stage of the race with Letizia Paternoster. The team are the newest addition to the UCI Women’s World Tour lineup and among the 13 riders are star riders Lizzie Deignan, explosive sprinter Lotta Lepisto and all-rounder Elisa Longo Borghini. It’s a squad packed with versatile talent who will be expecting to compete and win at the biggest races in 2019.

The riders will choose between the Open Cube and the Orion models for racing while for podium presentations and when not riding they will be wearing the casual California glasses. The Open Cube model comes with added ventilation to ensure the rider’s vision is always crystal clear and weighs just 30g so are perfect for mountainous days in the grand tours.
