Mountain Biking Glasses

Glasses are more than a fashion statement as one would think. Mountain Biking Glasses offer protection from dust, wind, insects, and any foreign objects that can enter your eyes while mountain biking. Protection against ultra-violet rays and infrared radiation is also needed when riding. One may also consider shatter-proof lenses for added safety. Weight and fit should always be considered, the lighter the better. Some manufacturers such as Rudy Project and Briko offer glasses with multiple lenses in order to have an option considering the weather while riding. For general use, light brown or yellow lenses would be a good all-weather lens color. The color of the lens may also aid in vision during a ride. Of course, one may have to take the glasses off if vision is hindered by mud or mist.

Lenses come in many colors. In some cases, specific situations call for certain lens colors:

• Black, Polarized: reduce glare without distorting colors, making them suitable for bright sunny conditions. But they might be too dark at the end of the day.
• Green, Silver: enhance contrast, making them suitable for brighter conditions.
• Yellow, Amber, Gold: filter out blue light and bring out shadows, making them suitable for most conditions and especially in low to moderate light.
• Purple, Rose: best used for low-light conditions as they bring out shadows and contours.
• Clear: is best used for dark conditions such as during sunset or cloudy conditions.

Wearing the right Mountain Biking Glasses can greatly help you in achieving clear vision. There are a lot of glasses which vary in styles and colors. Make sure to use the one that meets your needs.
