The vents are hidden (!) which means you’ll still get airflow but without sacrificing your look. The Mode has reflective decals, is equipped with MIPS, and comes in three easy-to-adjust sizes.

The Tactic was designed to flow with you. Whether you’re tackling flowy singletrack or rocky downhills, it’ll stay put and, thanks to thoughtfully engineered eyewear channels, so will your shades. Add to that a smart ventilation pattern and a fit that hugs the occipital lobe, and you’ll likely forget you’re wearing it at all.

The S-Works Evade 3 was reinvented from the inside out to cool better, making it the fastest choice for a wider range of conditions. We increased its ventilation by 10%while maintaining its leading aero performance. This innovation breakthrough was achieved through extensive Computational Fluid Dynamics and Win Tunnel testing, resulting in a rear “diffuser” that helps minimize drag and larger vents to increase ventilation.
