The frame of your cycling glasses

The ideal cycling glasses have a lightweight but sturdy frame that sits comfortably under your helmet. The temples curve nicely around your face and thanks to the good grip they remain stable. The nose pads fit snugly on your nose, so the glasses won’t fall off. For easy putting the glasses on and off under your helmet, the springs are at a smaller angle. At Specialspex you can find frames designed for this purpose, which you can put together as prescription cycling glasses if desired.

Protection for your eyes

The lenses of bicycle glasses are never made of glass. Lenses made of glass are heavier and can break in a fall. Therefore, all of our cycling glasses have lightweight plastic lenses that do not break. In addition, the lenses have an extra hard anti-scratch coating.

Which shade is best for your glasses?

For optimal visibility while cycling, we recommend a brown tint for added contrast. In shaded environments, a green tint offers extra visibility. While cycling on the road, you have a lot of gray from the asphalt around you. When wearing a dark gray tint, you lose contrast and miss small details on the road.

On sunny days, a brown tint filters blue light, making the colors green and blue more vivid. A brown tint gives you more contrast, clarity and depth of vision. Ideal for cycling glasses for mountain biking in the woods. Green lenses give more contrast in shaded areas.

With orange or yellow-brown lenses, you see all colors just a little differently. As a result, your cycling glasses will give you better clarity in all weather conditions.

Polarized lenses in your glasses?

Polarized lenses filter horizontal reflections, removing annoying glare from wet asphalt, puddles, water and low sun. The result: calmer eyes, more contrast and better vision of small road details.

Ideal at:

Rain or wet road surface
Routes along water
Low sun in spring and fall

Notice:

Some LCD screens (bike computer/phone) may appear darker at certain angles. Modern screens are usually easy to read, but test your combination.
Do you ride mostly in shade/forest? Then consider a brown or green shade for added contrast.

Progressive

Want to see your Garmin navigation or other screen while riding? Then prescription multifocal cycling glasses are the solution. We position the reading part so that it doesn’t bother you when you’re looking at the road. Our specialized opticians are happy to help you if you want to know more about your prescription progressive sports glasses.

Anti-condensation

The anti-fog coating ensures that your cycling glasses will not fog up on the inside. So you will always have clear vision.

Photochromic

For optimal vision in all conditions, choose self-tinting lenses. The lenses darken in the sun and become transparent again as soon as there is less sunlight.

The model of your cycling glasses

Shield glasses give you that extra tough look during your workout. You can buy most Shield-glasses on prescription by ordering a clip with glasses in your strength. This clip you place behind the Shield. Of course we also have prescription glasses with separate lenses. You choose the lens color that suits your activity.
