At the time of filming I had purchased the glasses with my own money. Now you can enjoy the extra discount using the link.
I have been using these Siroko K3 Africa photochromic sunglasses (and a clear insert for riding in the dark) for almost 2 years. I actually bought the glasses myself, so this is my true feedback of the product.
I was looking for an affordable pair that could deliver good looks, quality photochromic lenses for the UK changing weather and an easy way of changing them to a clear lens for the night. Did they deliver?
Thank you again for watching, let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Ciao,
Federico

I've been riding with Oakley for 20 years. Last year after my last M2 got broken I came across K3 from Siroko, recommended by a friend. I had my doubts at first, specially for the lenses but surprise! I don't miss the Oakley, in fact, after 1 year riding in all conditions I can tell you it's 100% Oakley replacement. Quality of the lenses, I have the photochromic and the range is amazing, lightweight of the overall product. Comfort, and there is one things I really love, good ventilation and space I did not have any fog on the lenses. Perfect. If tomorrow I break them, I would buy the same again. Bravo Siroko! Thanks Federico for your nice reviews!

I’ve just ordered mines and am expecting them in a few days. Thanks for the video which made me feel convinced of my purchase. Was having some doubts yet, but now I’m happy that crossed over your review. Thanks again Federico!

I got K3s and they are really great, I am also using photocromatic ones

Excellent review. That initial click at the Centre area when swopping the lenses for the first time would be worrying. Glad to see it’s a simple job. And you look good in them.

@fede1275 2 года назад

Thank you, I was worried as well at first 😄

Dear Federico! Thanks for this useful video. 🙏😊 For EMTB you would offer this K3 Africa also? If I see well on the distributor website it does not come with an additional lence? What do u think should I order the visible one, or the main one is enough? Thanks for your answer in advance.🙏🙂

@fede1275 8 месяцев назад

Hi, I use the K3 photochromic when the light condition is changing. Perfect for the English weather. For night riding I have a clear lens and for the brightest summer days a dark lens.

@VlasTrunov 2 года назад

Thanks, Federico! First time I hear this brand, actually, but looks like it's a good value for the money. Did you consider frameless glasses at all, or does upper edge of these Sirokos not hinder sight? Btw, I got Octal MIPS (not Manta) from bike24 at a discounted price, almost twice cheaper than Manta. Neither is sold in L size in Russia. Still can't get used to my mushroom cloud look. And I'm looking to match it with Alba Stratos which is frameless. Perhaps it will compensate this mushroomness)) I wish you could make a review of Alba too.

@fede1275 2 года назад

Thank you! I am not a big fan of frameless glasses, mainly for the look. As others have noticed the Siroko sit a little high on my face, but it's greet not to impair the view when the head is down. I have an Octal, very light and comfortable, but definitely mushroom shaped. It's my favourite for the summer as the vents are very efficient.

The cost for those glasses is bang on ,value for money.I bought a £25 pair broke them so bought a second.I have lost one of the arms but they still fit so use them for winter riding.Also have a pair of Oakley jawbreaker prizm but only wear in the sunshine ☀️.they have taken £60 off since I bought them,I just noticed.

I bought siroko glasses last year, but K3s model, I like them, they fits my head perfectly, Also they survived crash when I hit the tarmac with my face, few brokem bones at my face, interestingly only some bigger scratch on the lens whitch even isn't visible while wearing them.

@Panos_Sfa_Gr 2 года назад

Nice review..very good looking pair on you.. My only note that I saw in your review regarding the fit/shape of this model is that seems that are leaving a gap under the eyes / the shape of the whole design seems that fits more higher above eyebrows and less protection below eyes..the pair look not symmetrical to the eyes but more upwards .. But very nice looking and nice quality

It might be down to my face shape and big nose though!

@simonjochlin7589 2 года назад

Great option! I did quite extensive research on picking up new riding glasses, but ended up sticking with Oakley. My main determinant. Safety. Riding along the road I’m always aware of rocks potentially flying from a semi. Oakley seem to meet the highest impact safely ratings, which gives me that bit of added confidence. If I were to just pick based on style for $$, these Siroko’s look great!

@fede1275 2 года назад

Interesting, I never considered the impact resistance factor!

@peteturner8493 2 года назад

@@fede1275 Neither had I but suspect enough impact reisitance / deflection from most sunglasses will be sufficient and if your really unlucky any glasses worn will be a bonus...been wearing commercial sunglasses with no concerns so far.

@simon84uk 2 года назад

I've had 2 pairs of these for a few years now. Actually picked them both up on ebay as wanted something relatively cheap as I'm unfathomably prone to dropping them for various reasons... one pair lives with a clear lens, the other I interchange between iridium and black depending on my mood 😆 I went to these as in the drops or aero bars I was peering over the top of the frame and wasn't being shielded by my original ones. I don't have the "draft" issues mentioned in some of the comments with a fairly wide head for another perspective. Not had any need to replace these, solid purchase!

@fede1275 2 года назад

👍 👍, maybe the draft can change with how the glass actually fit to the face?

@rorykerton5135 Год назад

I can’t seem to change the lenses in my K3’s, the lens is either not in the nose bridge or the middle ridge at the top won’t go into the frame

@fede1275 Год назад

I believe you need to match the angle of the cut out in the nose for the lens to slide in. Once is in and correctly inserted you can then push he bridge end in.
