Cycling glasses are more than just a fashion accessory for cyclists. They play a crucial role in safety, comfort and performance on the road. Whether you’re a passionate amateur or a seasoned professional, choosing the right pair of glasses can make all the difference when it comes to your cycling experience. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of cycling glasses, how to choose them and why Björka’s Italian-made models are a top choice for discerning cyclists.
Why cycling glasses are essential
In cycling, eye protection is often underestimated. However, the eyes are one of the most sensitive organs in the human body and are exposed to many dangers when cycling.
Protection against external elements
Cycling glasses protect your eyes from wind, dust, insects, gravel spray and even raindrops. At high speeds, even a small particle can cause irritation or injury. The glasses act as a shield, allowing you to focus on the road without distraction.
UV protection
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can lead to long-term eye damage, such as cataracts or macular degeneration. Cycling glasses with UV protection filter out these harmful rays, keeping your eyes healthy. On the road or in the mountains, the sun's reflection can be intense, making this protection essential.
Improved visibility
Light conditions can change quickly, especially when traveling through forests, tunnels or on cloudy days. photochromic glasses, which automatically adapt to ambient light, provide optimal vision in all circumstances. Better visibility means better anticipation of obstacles and therefore increased safety.
How to choose your cycling glasses
With so many options available on the market, it can be difficult to find the perfect pair. Here are some criteria to consider to make the right choice.
Comfort and fit
A good pair of glasses should be lightweight and comfortable. They should fit the shape of your face without creating pressure points. The non-slip temples and adjustable nose pads provide optimal support, essential for long outings or technical courses.
The type of glasses
The choice of glasses depends on the conditions in which you ride:
- Polarized lenses : ideal for reducing reflections on wet or shiny surfaces.
- Photochromic lenses : adapt to the brightness, changing from a light to a dark shade depending on the intensity of the sun. Perfect for courses with variations in brightness.
- Interchangeable lenses : offer the possibility of changing lenses depending on the weather conditions.
Strength and durability
Cycling glasses should be designed to withstand impacts and outdoor conditions. Materials like polycarbonate are durable and offer excellent protection in the event of a fall. In addition, an anti-scratch treatment will extend the life of the lenses.
