Desert sunglasses
Share
Are you looking for a pair of sunglasses for the desert? There are some important features you should consider:
- UV Protection: sunglasses must have lenses that offer protection 100% UV rays. This is important because the desert sun can be very intense and harmful to the eyes.
- Lens tint and darkness: The lenses of desert sunglasses should have a tint that reduces brightness, but without compromising visibility. Dark lenses may seem like an obvious choice, but they may make it difficult to see in some light conditions (e.g. sandstorm). Lenses with a gray tint are the best choice because they reduce brightness and improve definition of colors.
-
Glasses wrapping: The wrapping of the glasses is another fundamental factor to best protect your eyes from lateral light and grains of sand raised by the wind. This feature prevents sand from coming into contact with your eyes.
Also consider models with sweatband.
- Resistance: Desert sunglasses should be constructed of strong, durable materials (at high temperatures without deformation). The desert can be a very harsh environment and the extreme conditions can easily damage low-quality glasses.
- Comfort: Finally, desert sunglasses should be comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The lenses should be wide enough to protect the eyes from side light, and the frames should be light and close to the face to prevent the glasses from slipping or moving.
The lenses of desert sunglasses must be strong and durable to protect your eyes from sand particles and dust kicked up by the wind. Additionally, the lenses of desert goggles must offer protection from harmful UV rays emitted by the desert sun.
There are several lens options for desert goggles, including:
- Polarized lenses: these lenses reduce the glare of the sun reflected on the sand offering a clear view clearer and sharper.
- Photochromic lenses (better if category 2-4): these lenses automatically adapt to light conditions, becoming darker in bright light and lighter in weak light.
- Lenses with specific colors: some lenses have specific colors, such as yellow or orange (absolutely to be avoided for very strong light), they must be chosen smoke lenses which improve contrast and perception of the contours.
Additionally, the lenses of desert goggles must be resistant to scratches and cracks to ensure a clear view crisp and clear over time.
It is important to choose the right lenses for your specific needs and the light and desert sand conditions in which you will be using the glasses.
