Biking Sunglasses 

Why use sunglasses for biking you may ask? Well, wearing sunglasses when biking isn’t just about the cool factor, it’s about protecting your eyes and enhancing performance. Buying the right pair can do all these and more, and in our opinion deserve a spot in your cycling gear bag .

But what should you look for when picking out your perfect pair? On long rides you will be exposed to the sun’s rays for prolonged periods of time. Bike sunglasses offer UV protection against these powerful rays, reducing the risk of eye strain and long-term damage. 

Bike sunglasses are designed to improve visibility by reducing glare from the sun. This allows you to see hazards, such as bumps in the road, obstacles, and other cyclists more clearly. Many of the sunglasses we stock also feature ultra HD lenses, offering unparalleled optical clarity.

In addition to enhanced visibility, the sunglasses we sell are tough. Cycling on rough dirt trails and long distances can also take its toll on the equipment you use. Buying robust bike gear enables you to cycle with confidence. Sunglasses for biking are specifically built to withstand all manner of dirt, sweat, rain, sun, and bugs that they come in contact with. 

On the subject of dirt, the sunglasses are even treated with hydrophobic and oleophobic lens treatments. What this does is repel water, dirt, and oil from the surface of your lens. In addition to this, they are also scratch resistant. All these features work to improve clarity and reduce the risk of scratches and marking to the lens itself. As a result, your sunglasses will last a whole lot longer.

The size is something you may notice when browsing for bike sunglasses. The wide wrap around lenses provide greater peripheral vision and protection. This is what sets these specialised sunglasses apart from standard styles and even low-tech sports varieties. The products we stock really are premium products, and you’ll see that for yourself!

It's so easy to lose a pair of sunglasses. We’ve all done it. If you’ve found the perfect pair, you may want to invest in a second set. Once you’ve found the right fit, buying a back-up pair of sunglasses for cycling is recommended. By doing this it means you’re never caught without a pair of sunglasses, should you lose one. This goes for other aspects of your kit, a spare is always helpful.
