One forever? Self-tinting cycling goggles are designed to protect cyclists' eyes from midnight to midday sun. However, many brand models cost more than 200 euros. TOUR has tested these supposed all-rounders in the lab and in practice

Packing suitcases is annoying. Just don't forget anything, just don't take any unnecessary baggage with you to training camp, to the marathon, on holiday. Short, long, three-quarter trousers. Rain jacket, wind waistcoat, short and long leg warmers. And then clear, orange and dark-tinted glasses? Surely that must be easier? Self-tinting glasses, also known as "photochromic" or "photochromatic", are well represented by almost every manufacturer in the 2020 season - and unfortunately are usually quite expensive. Their special feature is invisible in the shop, but their tint ranges from very light to very dark promise universal functionality - at least on paper. TOUR has tested for you which glasses are convincing in practice.
