Best Sunglasses for Cycling

A pair of cycling sunglasses is a smart buy, whether you ride on the road or the track.

The direct light of the sun can cause cyclists to see dark or black spots which can gradually develop into blindness if not immediately taken care of. Risks such as sand, insects and even rain can also seriously damage your eyes.

Aside from protecting your eyes, glasses need to be comfortable and to stay in place. Adaptability is important too, which is why some cycling glasses come with different coloured lenses (镜片).

Here’s our picks for this year’s best glasses so you can choose the perfect pair for you.

Fancy Eye V7

Optics (光学) company Fancy Eye is big in the snow sports and motor sports worlds, known for producing cool-looking glasses. The V7 glasses are half-frame, specially designed for mountain biking. Its lenses react quickly to brightening conditions, quickly changing colour from yellow to a dark shade.

Price: £135

Quest Collection S125

Quest Collection’s S125 glasses (31g) combine attractive looks with functionality. No wind or light will trouble you as you ride, which is very nice. The lens itself is photochromic – under low light conditions the lens is smoky grey, turning dark grey as lighting conditions improve. For really cloudy days, or if you’re riding in darkness, it also comes with a second, clear lens.

Price: £99

Roderick Optics 2001

The latest-edition Roderick Optics 2001 glasses are totally frameless, enlarging your field of vision both vertically and horizontally. The lens is one of the clearest we’ve tried. Unique to this second version is the adjustable nose piece – though it can only move a few millimetres, it does make a difference in where the lens sits on your face.
