How To Choose Cycling Glasses?

In summer, the importance of cycling glasses is more prominent, but cycling glasses are not exclusive to summer. On sunny days, the road reflects sunlight, which will make the glasses receive more ultraviolet reflection; in windy weather, foreign objects and dust will blow into the glasses accidentally, which will not only damage the eyes, but also easily cause danger; snowy days, white snow Reflexes may make eyes suffer from 'snow blindness' …
So, in either case, you need a pair of cycling glasses, which can greatly help protect the glasses and reduce injuries, thereby improving comfort and safety while riding.
In the market, the price of cycling glasses is high and low, generally expensive in reasonable design, high-quality materials and fine workmanship. So, what should we pay attention to when choosing cycling glasses?
1. Wearing comfort
The choice of cycling glasses must first consider comfort. This is related to the texture, size and weight of the glasses. Cycling glasses with high comfort can cover the eyes more comprehensively and prevent the outside light from interfering with the vision. For professional cycling glasses, non-slip materials are generally used on the nose pads to ensure stability during strenuous exercise. In addition, most of the cycling glasses designs in recent years will add additional vents to reduce lens fogging and increase comfort during use.
2. Lens color
When choosing cycling glasses, you need to consider the filtering and UV protection functions of lenses for harmful light, and different lenses have different absorption and filtering effects on different light. Therefore, when choosing cycling glasses, you also need to consider your usual riding environment, and make different choices for different environments.
4. Frame design
Frame selection requires softness, elasticity, impact resistance, and can safely protect the face from damage during exercise. The veneer design of the frame keeps the eyes close to the edge of the frame to prevent eye irritation from strong winds during fast movements.
5. Ordinary sunglasses are not a replacement for cycling glasses
A lot of people think that wearing sunglasses while cycling is fine, but in reality, there is a world of difference between cycling glasses and sunglasses.
- Sunglasses are not designed for sports and can cause the frame to slip or even fall off while riding.
- Sunglasses generally do not have an anti-fogging function, which can easily cause the lens to blur in hot and cold weather, causing danger.
- Compared with cycling glasses, ordinary sunglasses do not have the function of preventing wind and foreign objects from entering the eyes.

- "Economical" cycling glasses with contact lenses
If you are used to wearing contact lenses, you can directly wear ordinary cycling glasses, which is more convenient and economical. If you don't have the habit of wearing contact lenses, you can also buy daily disposable contact lenses, but you may not be able to get used to it for a while. Therefore, if you want to wear contact lenses and cycling glasses during long-distance riding or competitions, it is best to get used to wearing contact lenses at ordinary times, so as not to affect the safety of riding.
