Eyeglasses for Kayaking

Demon eyeglasses for kayaking are designed for all disciplines that require the use of a kayak or canoe.

Kayaking has been recognized as an Olympic discipline since the 1936 Olympic Games. It includes various events, ranging from speed races to endurance competitions.

A common requirement for all athletes who practice kayaking is the protection of their eyes from the sun, reflected light, wind, splashes of water, and any small debris that could come into contact with the eyes. For those who wear prescription glasses, additional needs become essential. The primary requirement is achieving a perfect fit through the correct prescription of the lenses.

What features should the perfect kayak eyeglasses have?

Perfect fit and ease of prescription: As previously mentioned, those seeking eyeglasses for kayaking prioritize achieving a perfect fit with graduated lenses. The clip system, eyepiece holders, and prescriptions directly on the frame are designed to provide athletes with an ideal fit and a wide field of vision. The prescription system is straightforward, and any optician can easily apply prescription lenses to sports glasses.

• Lightness and Comfort: It is essential to wear eyeglasses for kayaking that are lightweight and virtually unnoticeable during performance. For the same reason, comfort plays a significant role; there is nothing worse than wearing uncomfortable glasses, especially when enduring great fatigue. Using cutting-edge materials allows the athlete to focus solely on performance.

  All DEMON eyeglass frames for kayaking are made from TR90, a special composition of nylon and carbon fiber that makes the glasses 20% lighter than those made from conventional materials. This material is also more elastic and resistant over time.

• Envelopment: Another fundamental aspect is the wraparound design, which best protects the athlete's eyes from the cold during winter competitions and training, as well as from splashes of water during spring and summer events that could distract the athlete from performance. The wraparound style is a significant distinction between ordinary sunglasses and sports eyewear.

  Hypoallergenic Anti-Slip Rubberized Parts: The rubberized components are made from soft, non-slip, hypoallergenic Megol. This material is specifically designed to prevent annoying micro-slips of the glasses down the nose, ensuring that the athlete remains focused without the distraction of constantly repositioning their eyewear.

  Which Lenses Are Most Suitable for Kayaking?
  All kayak eyeglass lenses are made from solid, shatterproof polycarbonate for maximum eye protection, even in the event of strong accidental impacts. We recommend having unbreakable prescription lenses created by your trusted optician for constant eye protection.

  Our collection features multiple types of lenses tailored to the specific needs of the athlete:

  Photochromic Lenses: Photochromic lenses are designed to undergo a reversible chemical reaction when exposed to UV radiation or sunlight, causing them to darken. Once the light source is removed, the lenses gradually return to their original state of transparency. Choosing this type of lens for kayaking means opting for sports eyewear that dynamically adapts to varying light conditions, ensuring the eyes are always protected while allowing the athlete to maintain focus on performance.

• Interchangeable Lenses: Kayak eyeglasses with interchangeable lenses are aesthetically striking, featuring highly mirrored and colored lenses. Each pair comes with a kit of three lenses (smoke, orange, and transparent) that can be switched out based on light and atmospheric conditions.
