Special Features of Sports Glasses

Are you ready to level up your sporting experience? With the right pair of sports glasses or snow goggles, you can reduce glare, increase contrast and drastically improve your visual perception and reaction times, all while protecting your eyes from wind, debris and harmful UV radiation. Anyone who reaches high speeds in their sport will appreciate a pair of glasses that not only deflects wind, but also serves as a protective screen against which insects and bits of gravel bounce off. If you've ever tried road cycling without sports sunglasses, you'll know it can be a real pain! When shopping for a pair of sunglasses for sports, there are a few features to look out for.

Polarised Lenses

In most sports, clear vision is essential, but when you're moving fast through changing light conditions, it can be hard for our eyes to adjust quickly enough. That's why polarised lenses, which help reduce glare and enhance colour perception, are a favourite among athletes. These lenses filter bundled light that is reflected back from reflective surfaces such as snow, water and wet asphalt. If you also need prescription lenses, you can even get sports prescription glasses with polarisation filter lenses.

Wrap-Around Frames

For the most dynamic sports, a firm fit is essential so that your glasses don't fall off. Some sports glasses have special elastic bands that fix them to your head, as is the case with ski goggles or swimming goggles. However, sports sunglasses with a wrap-around frame are usually sufficient for most sports. This is simply a normal frame with slightly longer temples that curve around your head, often also with rubber grips.

100% UV-Protection and Photochromic Lenses

In all of our sports sunglasses, 100% UV protection is already guaranteed. However, to make sure your eyes are completely protected, you can look for large lenses or wrap-around lenses, which provide more shielding for the eyes. This simply means lenses with a slight curvature to fit around the shape of the face. Darker tints also offer more protection and are especially useful if your sports activity takes place in bright surroundings, such as sunny ski slopes or hiking in the mountains. If you do a sport in changing light conditions, such as bike riding or driving, then photochromic lenses can be useful as the tint automatically adjusts depending on how much light there is.

Shatterproof Lenses

To make sure your lenses don't shatter into your eyes during an accident, sports eyewear usually has lenses with high impact resistance. The glasses and lenses of some brands, such as Gloryfy or Oakley, can even be shot at and driven over with a car before showing any sign of breakage!

Snow Sports - Ski Goggles

When skiing or snowboarding in snowy weather or bright mountain sunlight, a pair of ski goggles or sports sunglasses is essential. They protect you from glaring reflections off the snow, ice and wind, and harsh UV rays. Read our short guides for more information on what to look out for when choosing a pair of ski goggles or when choosing a pair of ski sunglasses.
