The Salice 022 sunglasses go large with the retro visor look and supply great wraparound lens coverage. They’re also very comfortable thanks to their low weight and, with their forward-angled design, they’re much better at keeping the lenses free of sweat streaks than other glasses that sit closer to the eyebrows.

They come with two lenses – one mirror coated UV400 rated (100 per cent protection against UVA, B and C) and the other clear. They don’t have the adjustability or customisability of some glasses from the premium brands and unlike the Oakley Flight Jackets with their anti-fog nosepiece they don’t have any party tricks. However, their design says they have the Oakley Sutro in their sights anyway and they compare well with those. In addition the price is competitive, especially considering they’re made in Italy.
