Maximum protection for your eyes 

All the sunglasses They have become a fundamental accessory in our daily lives. It is a transversal product that sets trends in all generations and areas of our lives. Obviously, sport is not left out.

Such is the daily life of this element that, let's not fool ourselves, it often goes beyond its main function, which is none other than vision protection and are subject to the aesthetic function. The design, color or appearance we have with them take priority in the decision. And that is a mistake.

Obviously we have to feel comfortable with our glasses, but we must not forget their main function: protecting our sight. In 365Rider we have a extensive and varied catalog of sunglasses for sports practice and now we are going to explain to you the types of lenses that exist and the differences between them. Let's start!

Types of sunglasses

Not all sports sunglasses are suitable for everything. He cycling, running, triathlon, trail…each sport has its demands and characteristics and manufacturers have different models to meet those needs.

Brands like Oakley, POC, 100% o Rudy Project They have their main models in the catalog of 365Rider.

Running

Running glasses are those that have a more powerful frame. The lenses They are not so big because an extra wide field of vision is not necessary and here priority is given to support and good ventilation to prevent fogging.

Models like the OakleyRadar or Oakley Encorder have become bestseller for runners.

Cycling

Cyclists' glasses bet on wider fields of view. We see large screens that protect us from wind, insects and any inclement weather that can damage our eyes while we pedal at speed. Are models designed to be used with a helmet and with materials resistant to possible impacts. Aerodynamics also prevail in them.

cyclists like Peter Sagan with 100%  o Mark Cavendish who actively participated in the design of the Oakley Jawbreaker They have made clear the capital importance of sunglasses in cycling.

Trail and outdoor

Is multipurpose glasses that could be used on a daily basis. Curved glasses, with a perfect fit, with a nose bridge that is comfortable, not tight... in short, they are designed to achieve optimal support. In it Trail Running protection against the sun's UV rays and UVA Rays is fundamental.

In this sense, models such as Sutro Litte with Prizm trail lens  or 100% Speedcraft XS Soft Tac Coral Glasses They express the level of glasses in the world of Outdoors.

 

Types of crystals

The design and frame are important aspects, but Where we cannot fail with our glasses is when choosing the glass. Training in sunny areas is not the same as training in rainy areas, nor is it the same to be a regular at training early in the morning than in the afternoon. Technology has evolved to a stratospheric level and we must take advantage of this to always have our eyes protected and with optimal vision conditions.

Lenses photochromatic

They are the crystals that adapt in ambient light: clear lenses on the inside and dark prescription lenses on the outside. This means that photochromic lenses can be worn all day without having to change glasses since it is the lenses that change with each variation in light, optimizing the amount of light your eyes receive for better vision.

Here we find models such as 100% S3 glasses, Shimano Equinox or Oakley Radar Ev Advancer that adapt to any type of lighting in our most demanding outings.

 

polarized lenses

They are those lenses that mount a filter that blocks light reflection and only lets useful light through. They are recommended for areas with a lot of sun and heat, since they provide greater quality of vision and safety to what we are doing. In addition, these lenses eliminate reflections and glare on shiny surfaces and are suitable for prescription in people who suffer from some type of eye disease.

These lenses take up a good part of the 365 Rider catalog.

Best sellers like Okley Sutro, Rudy Project Spinshield, 100% glasses speedcraft or KOO glasses Open They show the impact that this type of crystals have on the market.

So don't forget, add protection to your glasses and don't just think about the design! Sunglasses in sports are just as important an element as in everyday life.
