When it comes to cycling, one of the most important things you need to buy are sunglasses. These make sure that your vision throughout your ride is as good as it can possibly be.
The first ever cyclist to wear bike sunglasses was Phil Andersen, since then the sunglasses industry has advanced leaps and bounds. Normal sunglasses aren’t very suitable for cycling as they don’t have any of the features that specialised cycling sunglasses have. When looking for suitable sunglasses it is important to find a reputable and reliable brand, to make sure that you are getting the best that money can buy.
One of the top retailers for cycling sunglasses is a company called Specialized. Specialized sunglasses are made especially to your cycling needs. With many features that as a cyclist, are only going to make your life easier and improve your ride. When on a ride one thing that can always be guaranteed is that the light is going to constantly change. To counteract this Specialized sunglasses have a new adaptalite photocromic lense with colour optimized tints. These lenses automatically adapt to the light that you’re in so there is no need for multiple lenses.
All these sunglasses have anti-fogging features so that you ride is always as clear as possible. The last thing your need when your out on a ride is to not be able to see where you are going. The sunglasses use a simple design to make sure that air gets behind the glasses in order to get rid of the hot air pocket that causes the fogging to occur.
All lenses in these glasses are made from a material similar to the material used on helicopters to protect them from bullets. The material ensures that when you’re cycling your eyes are protected from anything that causes your eyes damage. Another feature used to protect your eyes is the pantoscopic fit. The glasses are angled so that you have an optimum field of view compared to normal sunglasses and are fitted close to the forehand and cheek bones to protect your from wind and debris.
Bike sunglasses have advanced significantly since they were first introduced. They used to be big and bulky, very unsubtle and something you probably wouldn’t want to be seen in! But, thanks to technological advances the design of sunglasses is now more stylish and more importantly more comfortable for the cyclist. Most sunglasses have adjustable legs and nose pieces, ensuring maximum comfort on your ride.
All of these features make specialized sunglasses the perfect choice for any cyclist. Alongside sunglasses Specialized also supply specialized bikes and specialized saddles. Everything you need for the perfect ride.
