We’re back, with our improved rear-vision technology. Make smarter, safer decisions with HindSight.

Story

Rear vision is so important every other vehicle on the road has it. You wouldn’t drive a car with no mirrors, would you?

As the only road users without seat-belts or airbags, cyclists need to know at least as much about their surroundings – and now, with HindSight, they can. 

HindSight rear view cycling glasses allow you to stay informed while keeping your eyes on the road.

Our cycling glasses offer innovative rear vision technology and ensure you don’t have to look over your shoulder to see traffic approaching from behind.

HindSight offers a unique solution that is changing the way the world cycles.

Seatbelts were once considered unnecessary, as were helmets. Innovation changes these accepted norms, and at HindSight, we believe the world has been cycling blind for too long.

Forget about low-utility, clumsy devices which have to be appended to your existing gear. With HindSight there is no attaching, fiddling or adjusting –  just put on your sunglasses and start cycling.

Cyclists need to be aware of what is happening around them. Looking back ‘classically’, i.e. over the shoulder, creates a dangerous area of what we call negative awareness. Every second you spend glancing back while travelling at 25kmph means you travel 7 meters without any ability to identify changes on the road ahead of you.

“That is 7 meters of space into which a pedestrian can step or a car door can open in front of you. I will usually glance back over my shoulder multiple times a minute to know what is behind me, as it is critical to operating safely on any road. If a I look back 5 times in a minute, that’s 55 meters of ‘distance danger’ where I am entirely unaware of what is changing ahead of me.” – ALEXANDER MACDONALD, CEO & Founder

 

Our new models blend our original patented rear-view technology with a subtle modern sculptured frame design. 

These cutting-edge glasses combine everything we’ve learned from years of research with some of the world’s best athletes and feedback from our customers to give you both stunning new styles and improved rear vision.

 

Designed to stand out, HindSight’s new models, Artemis and Morpheus, blend a sleek, new look with innovation that performs. 

 

Completely redesigned, our new rear view glasses have lightweight, durable acetate frames that provide all-day comfort and style.

 

Designed with function and style in mind, our new collection gives cyclists a bold and versatile look that they can confidently wear on and off the bike. That is why both of our new models come with black, tortoiseshell and clear frames and different colour lens options.

• Balanced classic styling with HindSight’s patented lens technology.

• Rubberised nose pads and leg grips for a comfortable and reliable fit that will ensure your glasses stay in place while you are navigating traffic.

• Secured sprung hinges so you can optimize your vision for the environment and safely adapt to multiple sports/activities.

• Made so cyclists can move confidently and seamlessly at any speed.

 

 

• Both models offer a standard size frame with improved technology for enhanced rear vision. Every millimetre of the rear-view is optimized with a mirror coating on the edge to provide the ideal level of reflection.

• The ultimate cycling eyewear for every cyclist. HindSight gives you a rear-view look of the world that’s designed to block glare.

• Manufactured to the same standards as the highest quality commercially available sunglasses.
