THIS IS HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST BICYCLE GLASSES FOR EVERY MOMENT
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT ONLY WEAR CYCLING GLASSES WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING. Whether it's your daily ride to the office, a weekend bike ride, or a bike trip: A good pair of cycling glasses is one of the first things every cyclist should buy.
In this blog article we'll tell you why cycling glasses protect your eyes from more than just the sun, why you should ride with glasses in all weather conditions, and what you have to consider when choosing the right AGU glasses…
#1 CYCLING GLASSES AS SUN PROTECTION
If you ride a bike during daytime, you mostly need tinted glasses with UV protection. The reason: If the sun is shining and or it is just bright outside, you automatically squint your eyes. This leads to symptoms of fatigue. With tinted cycling glasses you relax your eyes automatically and protect them from dangerous UV radiation at the same time. Important: Before buying, be sure to check whether UV protection is available. Information about UV protection and the area of use can always be found on the label or on the glasses themselves. Optimal UV protection is provided by glasses that completely filter out light up to a wavelength of 400 nanometers - which, by the way, is the case with all AGU sunglasses. The optimal protection for your eyes is enormously important to us, no matter what type of cyclist you are. Tip: The CE mark always tells you whether a pair of glasses complies with EU or German guidelines.
#2 CYCLING GLASSES AS PROTECTION AGAINST WIND, DIRT, BRANCHES & INSECTS
Every rider knows this feeling: Even at low speeds, the eyes start to tear due to the wind very quickly. Therefore it's very important to protect your eyes with good sunglasses - as well as from insects, dust and other dangers, such as branches. If you bike more often and for longer periods of time, make sure to wear fitted glasses to protect your eyes, such as our Essential Beam glasses.
