- Welcome to another absolutely awesome GCN Tech on boxing.
And this week we have an amazing prize.
As ever with a GCN Tech on boxing,
there is a chance to win.
And this week four, yes four very lucky viewers
will have a chance to win a brand new pair of sunglasses
from our mates at Roka.
(mellow music)

as this will give you a notification
every time we upload a video.
Now for details of how to win these awesome shades,
then simply wait until the end of the video,
as all the details will be there.
Now, I think it's time we got cracking
and got all these boxes open.
(mellow music)
Do you love some nice packaging on that
sort of luxury product
and the Roka shades don't disappoint.
So I've got a nice black sleeve,
taken it off, we'll go in the box,
and then, it's nice, snap (laughs).
And then we've got the case with the shades in here,
So, well hopefully they're in here.
Open it up, and then inside,
we've got the glasses,
protective sleeves on so we'll take those off.
And you got a nice microfiber cloth bag in there as well,
that can be used as a transportation bag,
but also doubles as a cloth to keep them nice and clean.
Here we go, oh check those out, real nice.
(upbeat music)
So the ones I've got on are the GP1X,
and in this box are the CP1X.
(zipping)
Aw yeah.
Oh, these ones are a different colorway,
nice black stuff.
What'd you reckon? (mellow music)
These ones, or these ones?
(snap) (mellow music)
The frames are available in different colorways,
and also the lenses are interchangeable.
They come in a whole range of different colours
depending on your preference.
But also depending on the specific light conditions
you need them for as well.
The Roka glasses are not just about aesthetics though.
They're also highly functional.
And the first thing you notice when you put them on
is how incredibly light they are.
So I've not weighed them yet,
but I'm gonna grab the GCN Tech scales of truth
and let's see the results.
First, we're gonna weight the CP1X.
Holy moly, 28.5 grammes, that is seriously light.
Let's get the other ones on.
I think these might be a bit lighter.
So the GP1X, a smidge under 26 grammes, 25.8 grammes.
That is, that is seriously light.
Definitely one for the weight weenies out there.
But light shades of grey because they're
less noticeable and less distracting on your face as well
and that makes a huge advantage when you're riding along.
You don't want have to feel something heavy on your face.
Another key attribute of any good shades is fit.
Now Roka uses their trademarked gecko elastomer
on the nose pieces, and on the titanium arm covers,
and this helps them stick in place and not move.
But don't worry, no geckos were harmed
in the manufacturing of these sunglasses at any stage.
There's also three different interchangeable nose pieces
to further help you tune your fit.
We got those here, they're included in the box.
You can see those in there.
But, rather than me just explain the fit,
I think it's best I just show you.
So, we're gonna perform the official
cycling glasses fit test,
which is the official John Degenkolb sprinting
nodding head like a dog test.
(fast upbeat music)
That's pretty cool, isn't it?
Still in place.
Roka crams an impressive amount of tech into its lenses.
And there's a series of coatings applied.
So there's hydrophobic coatings front and rear,
and this stops any kind of moisture sticking to the lens.
There's also anti-fog, anti-scratch,
and anti-reflective coatings, and on some lenses,
there's also polarisation coatings applied too.
They're also bullet-proof.
Okay, they're not, they're not bullet-proof.
But they are ballistics-tested, which is certainly useful
when you're riding along and it stops any road debris,
damaging or ganging your eyes
as you're going along, which is cool.
Now the part you've all been waiting for.
