What the Pros Wear, the Indian Ocean Rowing Race
Filed Under Community Outreach, Designer Sunglasses, Fun with Eyewear, Vision Direct Sponsorship
Four lads from Perth set out across the Indian Ocean with little more than food, water, a firm boat and the best gear in the industry (provided by Vision Direct) to protect their bodies. With extreme sporting, such as this, protecting one’s eyes is of the utmost importance. Here is how two of the team mates protect themselves in style. The Go West team is comprised of Andrew, Pete, Matt and Dave.
Like his teammates Andrew and Pete, Matt has chosen his eyewear for the Indian Ocean race very carefully. After carefully perusing through Vision Direct’s vast collection, Matt settled on two pairs of sunglasses – Serenget Bromo’s and Oakley Radar Range sunglasses. The Serengeti Bromo’s are perfect for low hassle eyewear across multiple weather and terrain conditions while the Oakley Radar Range sunglasses will be donned whenever Matt encounters rough waters. With rimless bottoms and a firm fit, the Radar’s stay in place and allow optimal peripheral vision in dangerous situations.
Dave, perhaps, chose his eyewear the most carefully, for he ultimately went with a pair of the finest eyewear in the industry, something spoken of only in whispers by athletes lucky enough to land a pair- Rudy Project Zyon’s. These sunglasses have experienced more stages of R&D than some space shuttles, their designs are simple in their intricacy, and leave nothing to chance. The very shape of the lenses was designed for optimal speed, safety and performance enhancement. Dave will not be disappointed to find these bad boys carrying their share. For a back up pair, Dave is bringing Oakley Conducts, which are stylish and cool for light rowing in minimal sunlight or clam waters.
The Go West team launches their boat April 19th, keep checking back for further updates as the team pushes out into the great wide beyond!
