Collection: Glasses for water sports
Glasses for Water Sports
Using specialized glasses for water sports is essential for protecting your eyes from both direct sunlight and reflected light. Water surfaces reflect a significant amount of sunlight, which can cause glare, eye strain, and reduced visibility, affecting both safety and performance. Polarized or high-quality lenses help eliminate reflections, providing a clear and comfortable view of your surroundings while reducing fatigue during prolonged exposure.
In addition to sunlight and glare protection, water sports glasses shield your eyes from splashes, spray, and wind, which can otherwise cause discomfort, blur vision, or even pose safety risks during activities like kayaking, sailing, paddleboarding, or jet skiing. By keeping your eyes protected and your vision unobstructed, these glasses allow athletes and enthusiasts to fully focus on performance, navigation, and enjoyment of their favorite water activities.
High-quality water sports eyewear also combines durability, lightweight design, and secure fit, ensuring the glasses remain in place even during vigorous movement or strong currents. With proper water sports glasses, you gain enhanced safety, comfort, and visual clarity, making your time on the water both enjoyable and performance-oriented.
What Features Should Water Sports Glasses Have
When it comes to water sports, protecting your eyes from light exposure is the most critical function of specialized glasses. Prolonged or intense exposure to sunlight on open water can cause eye strain, fatigue, and long-term damage, making it essential to choose high-quality lenses that provide adequate protection. For this reason, category 3 lenses are highly recommended. These lenses offer optimal darkness, shielding your eyes effectively in bright conditions while maintaining visual clarity and comfort for extended periods.
Polarized lenses further enhance protection by not only blocking harmful UV-A and UV-B rays but also by managing light reflections and glare. Water surfaces reflect sunlight, creating bright, distracting glare that can interfere with vision and performance. Polarized lenses use a special filtering system to concentrate or diffuse light rays, reducing reflections and making it easier to see beneath the water surface or identify obstacles in your path. This improves both safety and enjoyment during activities such as kayaking, sailing, paddleboarding, or jet skiing.
While polarized lenses offer significant advantages in managing glare and improving visual clarity, combining them with a category 3 filter ensures the highest level of protection in bright outdoor environments. This combination allows athletes and enthusiasts to focus on performance and navigation without eye fatigue, while maintaining sharp, comfortable vision.
Protection from Impacts
Safety is a top priority for athletes, and the polycarbonate lenses featured in the DEMON sports glasses collection are engineered to provide exceptional impact protection. Polycarbonate is a high-performance, high-impact-resistant material widely used in sports and safety eyewear due to its strength, durability, and lightweight properties.
In the event of a collision whether from a fall, a flying object, or accidental contact with branches, equipment, or other obstacles the lens is designed to disperse the force evenly across its surface. This prevents breakage or the creation of sharp fragments that could injure the eye. Even in extreme impacts, the lens may remain intact or develop a harmless web-like pattern, ensuring that the wearer’s eyes remain fully protected.
One of the key advantages of polycarbonate lenses is that their high impact resistance does not come at the cost of weight or comfort. They are significantly lighter than traditional glass or conventional plastic lenses, making the glasses more comfortable for extended wear during running, trail running, or water sports, without compromising safety.
With polycarbonate lenses, athletes can trust in maximum eye protection, even during intense, fast-paced, or unpredictable activities. These lenses are designed to withstand strong or unexpected impacts, giving runners, trail enthusiasts, and outdoor athletes the confidence to focus entirely on their performance without worrying about eye safety.
Stable and Durable Frame
The frames of DEMON sports sunglasses are engineered for maximum stability, comfort, and durability, making them ideal for running, trail running, and other outdoor activities. They are crafted from TR90, an advanced blend of nylon and carbon fiber, known for its lightweight, flexible, and resilient properties.
TR90 frames are hypoallergenic, ensuring that even prolonged wear does not cause skin irritation or discomfort. They are specifically designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions, from high heat and direct sunlight to cold and moisture, maintaining their shape and performance under all circumstances.
One of the most notable qualities of TR90 is its exceptional elasticity, allowing the frames to bend slightly under pressure without breaking. This elasticity, combined with high resistance to accidental impacts and mechanical stress such as during lens changes ensures that the glasses remain durable and reliable even in demanding conditions. Despite their strength, TR90 frames are approximately 20% lighter than traditional materials, with typical models weighing between 20 and 45 grams, depending on thickness. This ultra-light design reduces pressure on the nose and ears, allowing athletes to wear the glasses comfortably for extended periods.
The rubberized components of DEMON sports sunglasses are made from soft, hypoallergenic Megol, a non-slip material that enhances grip and stability. These components ensure that the glasses stay securely in place on the face, even during intense movement, high-speed runs, or rugged trail activities, without causing discomfort.
Accessories for Sports Glasses
DEMON offers a range of additional accessories designed to enhance the functionality, safety, and convenience of your sports glasses. These accessories can be purchased separately and tailored to meet the specific demands of running, trail running, and water sports.
One of the key accessories is the neoprene elastic cord, which provides enhanced stability and security. By keeping the glasses firmly in place, the neoprene cord ensures that they remain comfortably fitted on your face, even during high-intensity movement, sudden changes in direction, or rugged outdoor activity. This accessory is particularly useful for trail running or other dynamic sports, where stability is essential to maintain clear vision and focus without constant adjustments.
For water sports enthusiasts, the floating elastic cord is an invaluable addition. This specially designed cord allows your glasses to float on the water in the event of accidental drops or falls, preventing them from sinking and facilitating easy retrieval. This feature not only protects your investment in high-quality eyewear but also ensures uninterrupted participation in water activities, from kayaking and sailing to paddleboarding or jet skiing.
Together, these accessories provide enhanced versatility, security, and protection for your sports glasses, allowing athletes to fully focus on performance and enjoyment, whether on land or in water. By combining high-quality lenses and frames with practical accessories, DEMON ensures that every athlete has the tools needed for maximum comfort, safety, and reliability in any environment.
