There’s no doubt cycling is becoming more popular, and with summer just around the corner it’s the perfect time for people to start getting out on their bikes. With this increased interest comes the growing demand for cycling safety equipment. The importance of wearing a helmet is well known but wearing a good pair of protective glasses should also be a priority. The eyes are so vulnerable to injury when on a bike, that a good pair of cycling glasses that provide the best eye protection is a must.
So Which Cycling Glasses Provide the Best Eye Protection?
Battling with the British weather can be a challenge in itself, not to mention the numerous road hazards and visibility issues to contend with. MStore stock a wealth of specialised protective eyewear to keep you safe while cycling. Whether you’re looking for anti-fog eyewear or protection to minimise exposure to the elements, Riley safety eyewear has something for everyone.
We pair practicality with style and offer a range of safety glasses designed to provide you with the best defence against eye injuries. Specialised technology ensures safety in a variety of environments. With polycarbonate lenses and a range of tints, maximum protection is delivered.
Life in Colour
The lens colour plays a key part in your cycling journey and can provide optimum clarity and vision in a range of environments. Our cycling glasses have a diverse range of lens options to protect your eyes from UVA as well as UVB and anti-fogging coatings to keep the route ahead clear.
Lens colour will affect the visibility, shade and definition so light conditions will need to be taken into consideration. Many of our safety glasses have easy fit interchangeable lens options so you can always have the perfect tint depending on your cycling location and condition:
Amber: provides shade and good visibility in lower light circumstances. Enhanced depth perception.
Good for: cyclists seeking protection which is gentle on the eyes.
Blue: offers clarity in rapidly changing light conditions.
Good for: forest and off-road biking with broken tree coverage.
Grey: reduces brightness without distorting colours and can enable clearer vision in bright settings.
Good for: daily use and bright cycling conditions to reduce glare.
Clear: are perfect for low light conditions and present colour recognition.
Good for: night-time and overcast weather cycling.
Polarised: reduce reflection, glare and offer UV protection.
Good for: riding in sunny conditions on wet roads/sun reflecting on standing water surfaces.
Revo: limits glare and reduces the risk of eyestrain. Similar to the polarised lens, Revo also reduces reflection and glare.
Good for: intense, sunny conditions.
Keep Clear – Anti-Fog Glasses
Condensation is not only irritating but dangerous as it obscures vision. Anti-fog coated glasses can mean the difference between a clear ride and a frustrating one. TECTON coating technology boosts durability with effective scratch and abrasion resistance as well as providing outstanding resistance to fog. TECTON 400 offers the same advantages, in addition to eliminating damaging UV rays.
Why not try our Riley Stream anti-fog protection goggles? Available in five colours, these lightweight safety glasses feature an adjustable rubber nose bridge for a perfect, comfortable fit.
Riley’s specialist sport style glasses are suitable for all seasons and riding conditions. Not only can safety glasses enhance your vision and resist fog, but they also offer protection from debris, wind and other foreign bodies on your ride.
