Eyeglasses for Mountain Bike

Eyeglasses for Mountain Biking

Many riders experience significant difficulty using contact lenses during their mountain bike rides. This issue has led to numerous questions and uncertainties online regarding the optimal solution to meet this need. DEMON has designed eyewear specifically for athletes and casual enthusiasts who prefer wearing glasses. Our offerings include an enveloping MTB optical frame and sports glasses with an internal clip view, featuring a wide field of vision. This allows riders to focus solely on their performance while fully experiencing all the emotions of the journey in complete freedom and safety.

• Frame Material

  Choosing the right frame material is essential because mountain bike glasses must meet specific requirements to ensure they are high-performance, comfortable, and practical.

Our frames are made of TR90, a special composition of nylon and carbon fiber that is 20% lighter than conventional materials and much more resistant to impacts and mechanical stress. Inside the temples, there is a hypoallergenic rubber grip that prevents annoying micro-slips of the glasses down the nose, which can lead to discomfort and often cause the athlete to lose concentration. All glasses are designed to be enveloping, comfortable, and resistant to accidental impacts.

There are several options for those in need of MTB eyewear:

Optical Clip: The solution with an optical clip is both high-performance and economical. Aesthetically, the glasses are practically identical to various sports glasses, while the internal part can accommodate a clip with prescription lenses. The clip is removable, so if the athlete decides to use contact lenses, they can simply use the glasses without the clip. These models come with different types of lenses: photochromic (for those who ride in wooded areas with low light) and interchangeable lenses (which can be selected and swapped based on light conditions). The prescription strengths supported by the optical clip are as follows: Maximum Sphere +/- 8.00 and Cylinder (astigmatism) +/- 2.00.

EYE SUPPORT: The solution with ocular support represents sports glasses in every respect, unlike those that function solely as optical frames. It retains all the benefits of sports glasses (such as being enveloping and lightweight) while allowing the attachment of a base 6 lens, which significantly reduces the cost of creating prescription lenses and expands the field of vision. This provides you with glasses that deliver performance comparable to an optical frame but with the added advantage of being enveloping.

You can choose the type of lenses you want, from simpler prescriptions to progressive lenses, and select the lens tint: smoke, brown, orange, photochromic, etc. This solution is ideal for those who practice mountain biking, as it offers an expanded field of vision compared to using optical clips, and reduces the risk of lateral distortion, even for higher prescriptions. We recommend using a graduated photochromic lens, especially for those planning routes through densely wooded areas.

 

TYPE OF LENSES: There are different types of lenses to choose from, depending on the needs of each rider.

Photochromic Lenses: These lenses start as basic transparent and fall under category 1, meaning they can be used at night as simple protection against the wind. At maximum exposure, the intensity of UV rays can reach nearly category 3. These lenses are suitable for both outdoor activities and low-light conditions. We recommend this type of lens for both models with clip optics and for the VISTA SPORT model, as they can be used in any lighting conditions.

 

Interchangeable Lenses (Only for glasses with clip optics): The category 3 mirrored lens not only offers protection from the sun and UV rays but also gives your MTB glasses an aggressive look. This allows you to play with popular and eccentric colors to stay fashionable. The package also includes a pair of high-contrast orange lenses for cloudy weather and a pair of transparent lenses for nighttime or low-light conditions.
