What is the Difference Between Color Changing Cycling Glasses and Polarized Cycling Glasses?
1,What is the difference between color changing cycling glasses and polarized cycling glasses
There are many types of cycling glasses, and the mainstream ones are color changing cycling glasses and polarized cycling glasses. What are the differences between these two types of cycling glasses? The main difference between discoloration and polarization of cycling glasses is:
1. Different principles
Color changing glasses are manufactured using the principle of silver halide decomposition when exposed to light. When absorbing ultraviolet light, silver halide decomposes, and silver atoms combine with ultraviolet light, resulting in a change in the transmittance and color of the glasses; Polarizing mirrors are made based on the principle of polarization of light. When the vibration plane of light is parallel to the polarization axis, the polarized light filter can make the polarized light transparent.
2. Different colors are displayed
Color changing glasses will darken when exposed to sunlight, and will recover when there is no strong light when entering the room; Polarized glasses generally do not change color with sunlight.
3. Different degrees of light blocking
Color changing glasses can only reduce the intensity of glare, ultraviolet light, and cannot completely block these harmful rays of light; Polarized glasses can completely block glare caused by various factors such as scattering, refraction, and reflection.
2,Choose polarized light or color change for cycling glasses
Cycling glasses are one of the essential equipment for cycling sports. Some riders believe that polarized cycling glasses are better, while others prefer color changing cycling glasses. So, is it better for cycling glasses to change color or polarized?
Generally speaking, both types of cycling glasses have their own advantages. Polarized cycling glasses can filter out the UVA and UVC of the sun, and can filter out the reflected light from water surfaces and glass at special angles such as strabismus during cycling. They are suitable for cycling near water in the sun or on roads with many cars; Color changing cycling glasses can change with the changes in ultraviolet rays and temperature in the environment, thus protecting our eyes. However, their filtering effect on ultraviolet rays is not as good as that of polarized cycling glasses, and they do not have polarization function. Relatively speaking, polarized cycling glasses are better.
