Cycling glasses

For many sporting activities, it makes sense to wear suitable sports glasses. These special glasses made from particularly robust and light materials not only ensure good vision, but also protect your eyes from the sun, dust and more. Sports glasses usually have an anti-fog coating for unclouded vision and non-slip temple ends to ensure a secure fit even during intense activity. They are also often specialised for a particular sport. For example, cycling glasses are ideal for mountain biking or racing bikes, but are also ideal for the daily commute to work.

What special features characterise cycling glasses

Cycling glasses are specially made for the challenges of two wheels and keep out the wind, insects and all the other things that could fly into your eyes on the road. They also have other features clothing:

• UV filters protect the sensitive retina from harmful radiation on long, sunny rides.
• Tinting protects you from being dazzled on bright days. On the bike, self-tinting is particularly practical for lighting conditions, as it lightens up on darker sections of the route.
• Contrast enhancement ensures that obstacles and hazards are easier to see on fast tours. Uneven ground in particular is thus better recognised.

In addition, bike glasses typically offer a large field of vision so that the route is always clearly in view.

What are the differences between cycling glasses?

Whether cycling glasses are ideal for a particular riding style depends on their design, features tennisbag and fit. There are cycling glasses on the market with both normal and extra-large sizes. There are also rimless models and models with frames. The rimless Ronin series from manufacturer Sweet Protection available in the Transa online shop, for example, is designed for high performance, but is also ideal for everyday cycling activities. These bike glasses made from high-quality polycarbonate material are also extremely impact-resistant. Last but not least, their special lens technology prevents eye fatigue.

Make sure cycling glasses fit correctly

It is important that cycling glasses do not fit too loosely - but also not so tightly that they cause an uncomfortable feeling of pressure on the sides of the head when worn for a long length of time. As light, flexible materials are often used for cycling glasses, regular fit is usually a good choice. If these bike glasses are too loose or too tight, a slim-fit model or a model for wider face shapes might be a better fit. Men with narrower faces can also choose cycling glasses for women.
