Our Top Glasses for Team GB
With the London Olympics just around the corner and the torch nearing the end of its journey to the capital, we started to think about what the British sports pros would be wearing on the big day. 
For rowing star Sam Townsend, the Adidas Polarized Evil Eye Halfrim Pro would be the ideal pair of sports glasses to enhance his performance on the water. With wrap around vision, Townsend would easily be able to keep an eye on the competition, whilst guaranteeing he keeps the finish line in sight. In addition, the super lightweight material would cause minimum disruption to his focus. Let’s hope the British star can maintain his focus on the day.
Lizzie Armistead, part of the GB cycling team, will need a pair of glasses to allow for maximum speed and minimum disruption. Luckily, Adidas have designed the Adizero Tempo L A185 range to boost the cyclist’s natural vision, meaning Armistead can push herself to the limit, with no resistance. With Climacool technology and anti-fog lenses, these glasses would guarantee supreme performance. She’s got the talent and the kit, so there’s nothing holding her back.
For Great Britain’s top sailors like Stuart Bithell, it’s essential for his eyewear to minimise the sun’s glare. Water can reflect up to 85% of the sun’s rays, so to stay protected in the sun and ensure he can perform to the best of his ability, we would recommend the Oakley Polarized Flak Jacket XLJ sunglasses. The Pure Plutonite lens material is able to filter out 100% of all UV rays, to guarantee that Bithell can maintain his focus for the competition. Let’s hope his efforts are awarded with a gold medal for the team.
With the Olympics taking place in London, there’s no better chance for team GB to perform and triumph, and with the right eyewear, there would be nothing stopping them going for gold.
