DEMON presents GRAVEL, the latest sports glasses from the 2023 collection. Designed to meet the needs of athletes involved in road cycling, mountain biking, running, trail running, and hiking, the GRAVEL glasses feature photochromic DCHROM® lenses that adapt to various light and atmospheric conditions throughout the year. These lenses, available in red, purple, or blue tones, darken in a mirrored red or blue hue (depending on the chosen mirroring) during intense physical activity, providing cyclists and hikers with protection from the elements, even when returning after sunset.
Types of Sports:
Road Cycling and Mountain Biking:
Mountain Biking: GRAVEL glasses are perfect for mountain biking, catering to both beginners and experts. The wide frame offers enhanced protection from leaves, branches, soil, insects, and other elements that could impact the eyes. Despite the large size, the glasses weigh only 30 grams. The latest generation DCHROM® lens starts slightly veiled and reaches Category 3 with a red or blue reflection at maximum intensity. It automatically lightens and darkens with changes in brightness along the route. Additionally, it is shatterproof and impact-resistant, ensuring maximum safety. The nose pad and non-slip rubberized parts provide greater stability during activity, even during strong jumps and repeated vibrations.
Road Cycling: GRAVEL glasses are also excellent for road cycling. The wide frame offers optimal protection for the athlete's eyes against air, dust, insects, and other potential hazards. The lens darkens and lightens with changes in street light, making it ideal for intense light conditions (typical of summer) and prolonged use. The frame is ultra-light and elastic, with hypoallergenic rubber parts and a non-slip nose pad. Once you try GRAVEL, you won't want to be without them.
Cyclocross, Cycle Touring, Other Disciplines: GRAVEL glasses are recommended for any two-wheel discipline. They provide optimal protection for the eyes from impacts and sunlight. Stability and comfort are fundamental for those seeking cycling glasses that offer the best eye protection, are lightweight, and have an aggressive appearance.
Running and Trail Running:
Trail Running: GRAVEL glasses are ideal for trail running, catering to passionate beginners and professionals alike. The generous frame ensures maximum protection from leaves, branches, earth, insects, and other elements that could impact the eyes. Weighing only 30 grams, the glasses feature a slightly sheer base tone lens that reaches Category 3 with blue or red reflection at maximum intensity. The lens adapts to changes in path light, is shatterproof, and guarantees maximum safety. The nose pad and non-slip rubber parts provide maximum stability, even during strong jumps and vibrations.
Road Running: GRAVEL glasses are also great for road running. The large lens offers maximum protection from air, dust, insects, and unexpected elements. The lens darkens and lightens with light variation, making these glasses ideal for intense light conditions (typical of summer) and prolonged use. The frame is ultra-light and flexible, with hypoallergenic rubberized parts and a non-slip nose pad. Once you try GRAVEL, you won’t want to be without them.
Walking, Cross Country, Other Disciplines: GRAVEL glasses are recommended for any discipline similar to running. They provide maximum protection from light and accidental impacts, with stability and comfort being fundamental characteristics for those seeking running glasses that offer the best eye protection, are lightweight, and have an aggressive aesthetic.
Other Sports:
Hiking: GRAVEL glasses are excellent for hiking, equipped with technologies particularly appreciated by mountain lovers. The tight-fitting frame prevents light from penetrating from the sides and above. The photochromic lens adapts optimally to any light variations on the path. Starting with a semi-transparent coloration, the lens allows perfect visibility even in minimal light intensity.
Skiing and Cross-Country Skiing: GRAVEL glasses can be an ideal substitute for ski and cross-country ski goggles. The lightness and grip of the glasses provide excellent protection from the air. The grippy rubber sections significantly increase the stability of the glasses on the face, even with strong vibrations.
Water Sports: GRAVEL glasses are appreciated by water sports enthusiasts for their adherence and high protection, shielding from splashes that could distract the athlete.
Tennis: GRAVEL glasses are also excellent for tennis, offering a visual and lateral clip for close range and photochromic lenses suitable for both indoor and outdoor play under any lighting conditions.
Regardless of the sport practiced, GRAVEL represents the ultimate in photochromic lens technology, adding an aesthetic touch typical of glasses with mirror lenses.
Prescription Technology:
The mirrored photochromic lens GRAVEL is ideal for new prescription glasses for cycling, running, hiking, and all outdoor sports where athletes need to use prescription lenses. The clip-on eyeglasses are made of TR90, the same material as the frame, designed to hold prescription lenses for optimal vision during sporting activities. The supported powers for prescription lenses are a maximum sphere of +/- 8.00 and a cylinder (astigmatism) of +/- 2.00. The clip is very wide and supports progressive and bifocal lenses. Clip dimensions are: Lens Height: 40mm; Lens Length: 45mm; Lens Base: 6.
Prescription lenses can be created directly with your trusted optician, with costs ranging from €65 to €95 for single vision lenses (depending on treatments like anti-fog, anti-reflection, etc.) and from €240 to €300 for bifocal and progressive lenses.
Technical Characteristics and Materials:
The new DCHROM® photochromic lenses darken when exposed to UV radiation or sunlight and gradually return to their initial transparency when the light disappears. Made of high-quality polycarbonate, these lenses are lighter and safer, as they do not generate fragments upon impact. These lenses also provide UV protection, ensuring comfort and safety.
The ultra-light TR90 frame, a combination of carbon fiber and nylon, makes the GRAVEL glasses weigh only 30 grams. The frame is flexible, adapting to the head shape for optimal comfort and maximum safety. All rubber parts, including the nose pads, are made of soft hypoallergenic megol material with grip technology, ensuring stability and preventing movement caused by vibrations or head movements.
GRAVEL is a must-have for athletes seeking photochromic eyeglasses for cycling, running, or hiking, with ultra-light mirrored lenses for racing bikes, mountain biking, running, trail running, or mountain hiking. This material makes the DCHROM® lens eyeglasses 20% lighter than conventional materials, more resistant to impacts and traction, and more durable over time.
