When it comes to road, MTB and gravel cycling and talking about cycling glasses, the very first requirement that must be met is the protection of the eyes against sun, wind, dust and insects.
This is followed by lightness, a comfortable fit and protection in the event of an impact or fall. Cyclists that wear glasses need a clear, safe view both of the road or track and the surrounding panorama.
How to choose the right prescription cycling glasses for your needs
When selecting glasses to offer to athletes, Pleyers’ opticians carefully assess each element: frame, lenses, temples or elastic bands, temple tips and nose pads, only considering brands that use top-quality materials for frames and lenses, with particular attention to the ergonomics and comfort of the eyewear, as well as safety. In the case of prescription models for cyclists, the characteristics that all cycling glasses must have are:
Lightweight, durable and safe frame in case of fall or impact
Excellent adjustable lenses or with optical clip
Possibility of treatments and filters such as polarisation and mirroring, for sunglass lenses with correction
Wide range of colours and models for every style and need: MTB, gravel and road
To learn more, here you can read a guide that our experts have prepared to assist athletes in their choice of prescription glasses.
