Cycling Glasses

Modern cycling glasses not only look cool, they are, along with cycling shorts, jerseys and cycling jackets, accessories that both racing and mountain bike enthusiasts and long-distance cyclists must have in their everyday cycling life. But why should you wear cycling glasses? And what should you consider when buying cycling glasses?

Anyone who enjoys cycling in good weather knows the problem: flying mosquitoes and wasps, dust or small stones that can get in your eyes and really spoil your racing or mountain bike ride. The best solution for the eyes to protect - whether from wind, pollen - as well as sun, rain and other effects is to wear the right cycling glasses. Because they protect you from: wind, rain, dust and pollen, stones thrown by passing vehicles, insects flying towards you, UV radiation (dangerous UV rays can damage the eyes - so good cycling glasses are worth gold, especially in the mountains and near water). But closed, tinted cycling glasses not only offer you effective wind and UV protection, they also ensure optimal vision by helping the eyes quickly adapt to changing visibility and light conditions. Cycling glasses can easily be worn under a helmet or cycling cap and not only impress in terms of functionality, but of course also with their stylish design.

To find the right cycling glasses for you, you should first take a close look at your habits. The following questions can help you make a purchase decision: What surfaces and areas do you travel on? (A racing cyclist who rides mostly on paved roads needs a different model of cycling glasses than a mountain biker in the woods or a city dweller who commutes to work on a city bike every day. Triathletes have completely different demands on the functionality of their cycling glasses). Do you only wear your cycling glasses during the day or do you also get on your bike at night and therefore need cycling glasses for the dark? Are you mainly looking for windproof cycling glasses with UV protection or should your cycling glasses also protect you from the rain? Do you value an attractive appearance or is the functionality of cycling glasses the most important thing for you? Regardless of your personal needs and intended use, there are a few criteria that you should by no means neglect when buying cycling glasses.
