KOO Alibi Glasses

The KOO Alibi Glasses are high-performance cycling eyewear designed to deliver sharp vision, secure fit, and lasting comfort for road, gravel, or mixed-condition rides. With precision optics by Zeiss®, a lightweight yet durable frame, and design details optimized for ventilation and stability, the Alibi stands out as a premium choice for cyclists who demand both form and function.

The frame is made from Grilamid®, offering strength without excessive weight. Its half-frame (semi-rimless) design improves downward visibility while two ventilation holes in the lens reduce fogging during intense efforts. Rounded arms and reduced temples let the glasses nest comfortably under a helmet, while soft-touch nose pads enhance comfort over long durations. Multiple lens options—including photochromic variations—allow the Alibi to adapt to changing light conditions for all-day clarity.
