CYCLING GLASSES WITH POLARIZED LENSES

When discussing cycling or MTB glasses with polarized lenses, it's common to encounter conflicting opinions. To determine whether polarized lenses are the right choice for you, it's important to understand the type of lens, its advantages and disadvantages, and the specific benefits of using them.

What is a Polarized Lens?

The polarized lens, identified in the Demon line as DPOL, is a specialized lens made from unbreakable plastic. In addition to providing UV protection, it can concentrate and diverge light rays while attenuating UV-A and UV-B radiation through a polarizing filter that eliminates horizontal reflections. These lenses can be used for various sports and are also found in many fashion glasses.

Originally designed for sport fishing, polarized lenses were created to reduce reflections, allowing fishermen to see bodies of water more clearly. Their use quickly expanded to all water sports and, eventually, to various outdoor activities.

The main advantage of polarized lenses is the comfort they provide to the eyes, making them one of the most soothing lens options available on the market.

Advantages of Polarized Lenses in Cycling Glasses:

• Better Perception of Contrast
• Clearer Vision
• No Alteration of Natural Colors
• Elimination of Horizontal Reflections

The benefits of using polarized lenses for cycling are numerous. Some advantages are immediately noticeable upon wearing the glasses, while others become clear when viewing expansive green landscapes. Even after a couple of hours under strong sunlight, your eyes will feel rested, as if the ride had just begun.

The polarized lens is often preferred for road cycling because rides with road bikes typically last longer than those with mountain bikes. On very sunny summer days, using polarized lenses can make a significant difference between a visually uncomfortable outing and one that fully relaxes the eyes.

Many people also opt for polarized cycling glasses for mountain biking, as the high contrast and enhanced perception of natural colors create a unique outdoor experience.

Those who choose polarized glasses for cycling frequently use the same eyewear for other activities such as mountain excursions, running (when they can't cycle), tennis, beach volleyball, and more. But why are polarized lenses ideal for a variety of sports?

Description:

It is essential to note that the polarized lens for cycling glasses is made from unbreakable plastic material. This ensures not only clear vision through the lens but also maximum safety in the event of accidents or impacts with obstacles such as leaves, branches, insects, pebbles, and dust. In the case of a strong impact, the lens does not shatter or produce fragments that could harm the eye; instead, it forms a web-like pattern that distributes the impact across the entire surface of the lens.

The frames are constructed from TR90, a special hypoallergenic blend of nylon and carbon fiber that makes the glasses 20% lighter than conventional materials. They are also more resistant to extreme temperatures without warping and provide greater durability against impacts and mechanical stress. This unique composition has memory, allowing the glasses to expand for a better fit on the head and return to their original shape when not in use.

The non-slip rubberized components are made of soft Megol, an ultra-light, hypoallergenic plastic material that, when combined with TR90, results in exceptionally lightweight and comfortable glasses. Some models feature an adjustable nose pad with an aluminum core, allowing for customization to fit various nose shapes.
