Cycling Glasses

When cycling, it is always good to wear cycling glasses because they protect the eyes from the sun from branches, dust and face height obstacles that could be encountered along the way. They are distinguished from classic glasses mainly for their enveloping design and for the construction materials, light and resistant. Cycling glasses must have some fundamental characteristics: Shatterproof and anti-reflective lenses: made of polyamide or polycarbonate, they must have colors suitable for different light conditions. Neutral lenses are suitable for low light situations, yellow ones in case of fog, dark ones when there is a lot of light while gray lenses are perfect for wearing all year round as they do not distort the colors of the landscape. Photochromic cycling glasses change hue and are able to adapt to any level of lighting: when there is a lot of light, the lenses darken on the contrary, in low light conditions, they lighten. Some models of bike glasses have interchangeable lenses so you can buy the frame and change the lenses when necessary. Light and resistant frame: most MTB glasses are made of hard plastic and only a few models have metal reinforcements. Most of the models are half-rims, i.e. they consist of a horizontal temple that holds the lenses and therefore do not have a complete frame. Wraparound design: most bike glasses have a wraparound frame to bring the lenses closer to the eyes and protect them from foreign bodies such as stones, branches and debris. The shape of the cycling glasses allows excellent air circulation, preventing the lenses from fogging up. Specific shape for each discipline: road bike glasses have a tapered shape and are extremely light while for disciplines such as Enduro and Downhill the mask is usually worn under the full-face helmet. The masks are more protective and insulate and protect the eyes from atmospheric agents and dust which, at high speeds, can be dangerous. Comfort: The nose pads and the side rods must rest on the face, must be comfortable, and must not be too tight not to annoy the cyclist while pedaling and not too wide to fall on the ground.
