Cycling Glasses – One Lens for Open Road, Tree Cover and the Tunnel in Between

These full-frame glasses carry a lens that reacts to daylight, going dark under a high sun and clearing again under cloud. The whole pair weighs about 28 grams, so an hour in the saddle does not leave a mark across the bridge. The nose piece moves, which means the frame can be set level on almost any face.

Why choose these cycling glasses?

Most riders end up owning two pairs and carrying the wrong one. A lens that adjusts its own tint removes that decision at the door. The wrapped 145 mm lens also keeps wind and grit out of the corners of your eyes, which matters more than the tint on a fast descent.

• Light-reactive tint: The lens darkens and clears on its own as the sky changes, with no stopping to swap anything.
• Glare cut and UV block: Polarization flattens the shine off wet asphalt, and UV400 covers the ultraviolet range.
• Movable nose piece: Slide it to suit a narrow or wide bridge so the frame sits straight rather than tilted.
• Textured arms: The 120 mm temples hold their grip once sweat starts, even over a rough section.
• Wrapped field of view: A 145 mm by 58 mm lens curves past the cheekbone and keeps the periphery open.

Put them on in the driveway and take them off in the driveway.

There is room behind the lens for a prescription insert if you ride with one. Rinse salt and dust off under a tap before you touch the lens with a cloth, since dry grit scratches polycarbonate. In cold air the tint shifts more slowly, so give it a minute when you come out of shade.
