Don't think that sunglasses can really replace cycling glasses
Cycling glasses are different from ordinary sunglasses. You should never wear sunglasses while riding. Cycling glasses have an additional function of wind protection compared to sunglasses. Don't underestimate this function. It can greatly reduce your chances of getting conjunctivitis. Therefore, generally, good cycling glasses will not make your eyes feel uncomfortable when riding too fast. Also, cycling glasses should not use glass as the lens material, because it will greatly increase the possibility of injury when you fall off the bike, while using resin can protect your glasses from scratches.
Many cyclists are willing to spend a fortune on high-end bikes or top-notch helmets, but many overlook that cycling sunglasses are also an essential accessory for the sport. Most experienced cyclists will tell you that cycling glasses are definitely worth the investment, whether you are an amateur or a professional. When you are riding at 150km through some of Asia's most spectacular scenery, the last thing you want to do is miss the view (or worse, lose control of your bike due to glare...).
Cyclists, a good pair of sunglasses will ensure you get the most out of your eyes. When you’re sweating profusely during adrenaline-fuelled mountain biking, you’ll notice a stark difference between regular sunglasses and cycling goggles. Your body heat can cause a regular pair of sunglasses to fog up and your sweat can cause them to slide down or even fall off. But the rubber, non-slip nose pads of cycling goggles will keep your glasses securely on your face, even during more intense activity. Recently, more and more high-end cycling goggles are adding vents between the lenses and frames, making them cooler and more comfortable to wear, and they won’t fog up!
In addition to protecting your glasses from UV rays and other flying objects, cycling goggles are cleverly made with polarized lenses that are fog-proof, waterproof, glare-proof, scratch-proof, shatter-proof and impact-resistant. Typically, cycling goggles have an aerodynamic curve that fits perfectly to your face, increasing your peripheral vision and providing all-around eye protection. The ultra-lightweight and durable frames are also designed to be worn with a helmet.
There are many factors to consider when choosing the right pair of cycling goggles. One of the most important factors is the color of the lens. The five most commonly used colors for cycling glasses are: black, blue, yellow, transparent, and reflective. Black is generally used for strong sunlight at noon. Blue is used in foggy days or weather with low visibility. Yellow is used in the evening to increase the contrast of the image to improve clarity. Transparent lenses are very important. They are not only used to show off, but mainly as windshield and rain goggles. The coated lenses should be used in snowy areas or areas with strong light and strong ultraviolet rays on the plateau. Friends who want to go to the plateau must have a pair.
For cycling enthusiasts, cycling glasses with interchangeable lenses allow you to change the lens color at will according to different light and weather conditions, increasing the usability while providing different visual experiences.
