The ARO5 is designed to be a one-stop shop for both training and racing with its sleek look, streamlined shell, MIPS protection, and light weight. While style is subjective, the ARO5 did receive high marks at a few different group rides. Oakley’s strap system is simple, and the BOA lace adjustment system easily helps dial in a customized fit. The ARO5 feels about a half-size snug, especially if you like to wear a cap underneath, and wind noise is noticeable, but not distracting. Special touches include reflective logos, cool shell colors, and (unsurprisingly) well-designed sunglass storage.
