Sweet Shinobi RIG Reflect Sunglasses - Aquamarine/Gloss Crystal Shadow

The Sweet Protection Shinobi RIG Reflect Sunglasses are the Norwegian brand's most aggressive premium performance eyewear — built without compromise for high-speed cycling, mountain biking, and endurance sport. At the heart of the Shinobi sits Sweet Protection's proprietary RIG® (Retina Illumination Grading) lens technology: a precision-engineered optical system delivering superior contrast enhancement, minimum colour distortion, and measurably reduced eye fatigue across the full duration of your ride. These are cycling sunglasses for riders who demand more from their kit.

RIG® Reflect Lens Technology
The Shinobi's 2.2mm machine-edged Toric lens isn't a design choice — it's an engineering decision. Toric geometry matches the natural curvature of the eye, eliminating the optical distortion that plagues flat-lens alternatives and delivering an unbroken, edge-to-edge field of vision. The Reflect treatment adds a mirror coating for high-glare conditions, while the super oleophobic and hydrophobic surface coating sheds sweat, rain, and road spray cleanly. In demanding, variable light — the kind you actually ride in — RIG® keeps your vision sharp when it counts.

High-Impact Resistance
The 2.2mm lens thickness isn't an accident. Sweet Protection engineer impact resistance directly into the lens specification, meeting the demands of riders who understand that a lens failure at speed is not a minor inconvenience. The Shinobi is built to protect.

TR90 Polyamide Frame
The frame is constructed from TR90 Polyamide — a high-performance thermoplastic with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Fatigue-resistant, flexible under load, and built to hold its geometry through repeated use, it's the frame material of choice across professional cycling eyewear for good reason. Light enough to forget you're wearing them. Tough enough to handle the consequences when you don't.

Quick-Release Lens System
Conditions change. Lenses need to change with them. The Shinobi's tool-free lens swap system is engineered for speed: slide back the two temple buttons, squeeze the nose bridge, swap the lens, and snap back in. No fiddling. No fumbling. No excuses for riding with the wrong tint.

Helmet Compatibility
Designed from the outset to work with Sweet Protection helmets, the Shinobi's temples are precision-profiled to eliminate pressure points and sit flat against the head under a helmet — critical for riders logging serious hours on the bike. The TPR co-moulded temple inserts add grip and comfort, keeping the frame stable without clamping. Three interchangeable nose pieces are included to dial in the fit across different face profiles.

Choosing the Right Shinobi RIG® Reflect Model
The Shinobi RIG® Reflect is available in four lens variants, each optimised for a different range of riding conditions. Sweet Protection's RIG® Reflect lenses are built around VLT (Visible Light Transmission): the percentage of available light reaching the eye. Lower VLT blocks more light for full-sun performance; higher VLT lets more through to maintain clarity when light levels drop. Think honestly about where and when you ride most, and choose accordingly.

For most UK-based riders, RIG® Reflect Topaz is the most practical single choice — capable in sun, competent in cloud, and well-matched to the variable conditions that define the majority of British riding days. If your riding skews heavily towards early starts, winter training, or shaded trail riding, RIG® Reflect Bixbite is the stronger call. Reserve Aquamarine and Obsidian for rides in consistent, strong sunlight.
