Skydivers Hired to Test Motorcycle Glasses

ADS Sports Eyewear employed skydivers in a unique effort to test the effectiveness of several popular brands of motorcycle eyewear. According to the company's press release:

The tests that drew the most attention were the "head-down" tests that surpassed 200 mph. Skydivers were asked to exceed normal face-flapping speeds while video flyers captured them simulating every possible wind angle that could be encountered on a highway.

The glasses that performed best are being sold by the company on its website. Among the brands that performed best were those from Panoptx Eyewear, Wiley-X, Gatorz Eyewear, and Harley Davidson Eyewear. The others that did not perform well are scattered across the cornfields north of Dallas.

ADS Sports Eyewear sells recreational eyewear for motorcycling, golfing, bicycling and running primarily through their website.
