Sightdirect in the Fastlane with the BMX race team!

The fastlane BMX racing team Cal Strickland and Chloe Napier know how to protect their eyes in style on and off the track thanks to the sponsorship of leading designer sunglasses retailer Sightdirect.

Cal and Chloe wear the Oakley Crowbar MX goggles, with a pair for each racing climate. It can get hot inside that helmet, and the integrated anti fog lens on the clear framed goggles ensures that Cal and Chloe have a clear view of the finish line. The lens material is 100% UV protective, and the increased lens sizing specific to the model gives greater visual range to the wearer.

Cal Strickland; ranked number three nationally in the Elite men class, prefers the classic sunglasses look “I use the Straightjacket sunglasses in the grey smoke style; I’ve always preferred more understated colours with the kit I use. I am stoked that Sighdirect have hooked me up with the latest Oakley gear, the crowbar goggles are super comfy! Wearing goggles is more than just eye protection, it's the final bit of prep before a race, where I can shut out the other riders and focus on my own race."

Chloe Napier; ranked number six nationally in the Junior Female class opted for the Oakley Restless Sunglasses because ‘I love the aviator look to them and the arm detailing is cool; I prefer dark lenses for my sunglasses and these are perfect!. I would like to thank Sightdirect for all my new Oakley eyewear, my goggles match my race helmet and it gives me a mental edge as well as protecting my eyes!’

Matthew Coxhead, managing director of Sightdirect says “The team are incredibly talented and it’s great to know that in some way we are helping to encourage sports by providing Chloe and Cal with top quality sunglasses on and off the track”
