KOO’s Supernova sunglasses are one of the lightest sunglasses that KOO currently offers. With their frameless design they offer a wide field of view with no obstructions. The Supernova sunglasses retail for $200 for the standard lens and $220 for the photochromic version. All the lenses are developed by Zeiss and are shatter-proof as well as anti-reflective. Koo has incorporated their sporty styling into the Supernova to give them an aggressive yet clean look for use on or off the bike. Despite the frameless design, Koo has designed the Supernova to have interchangeable lens design with removable temple arms and easy to swap nose pad.
The KOO Supernova is one of the brand’s lightest sunglasses and features a full frameless design. KOO has eliminated the entire frame and only left the temple arms which are attached to the sides of the single piece lens. There are quite a few frame color and lens combinations to choose from with six current options currently available. There are standard black, white and blue frames matched with a variety of bright lens colors. We have the photochromic version in this review which combines a matte black frame with a pink photochromic lens. The Supernova has KOO’s aggressive lens design with sharp corners and beveled edges. Even with the oversized lens the Supernova doesn’t look out of place off the bike unlike some of KOO models like the Spectro. Branding is limited to KOO on the front of the lens and on the temple arms in a contrasting white color.
In this review we have the photochromic lens option which has a 1-3 filter category range that has an impressive 11-73% VLT range. That lets you use these sunglasses in nearly any weather condition from dreary overcast to full sun as the lenses will adjust to the environment. It’s a great setup that lets you ride in any condition without having to swap lenses or compromise your vision. Despite the frameless design, the sunglasses actually have an interchangeable lens design which lets you remove the temple arms. It takes a fair amount of force to slide the temples off the lens, particularly the first time you remove them. To remove the nose pad is as simple as pushing down on the rubber tabs while pulling the nose pad from the other side....
