Lens and frame shape can play a crucial role in both your comfort and performance on the bike. Shapes which incorporate adjustable features like nose pads and temple tips are ideal, as they are better equipped for long use rides and consistent use.
Semi-rimless styles are an excellent option, with unique benefits. Striking a balance between lightweight construction and durability is essential in gaining that marginal advantage. The unobstructed downward vision of a semi-rimless lens makes it easier to keep your eye on the road ahead while looking straight ahead. Additionally, the minimal frame structure allows for maximum airflow, reducing the chance of lens misting.

Wide coverage is a priority for cycling sunglasses. Whether its passing cars on the road, or debris and wind on an off-road ride, your peripherals are a vital asset when cycling. The shield silhouette provides an extensive field of view, due to the continuous lens reducing blind spots.

Polarised lenses are perfect for reducing glare from reflective surfaces such as wet roads and car windows. This provides you with minimal distractions on your ride and also reduces eye strain over longer rides, allowing you to keep going for that little bit longer.
Photochromic lenses are your go to for overcast days, when light conditions become unpredictable and fluctuate. They adjust to the level of light present, giving you the perfect coverage for your environment, whether you're cycling under bright sunlight or through shaded paths, mitigating the need to switch glasses.

Lens colours can vary in performance as well as aesthetics. Different colours are better suited to different lighting conditions. Here is what we suggest to get the most out of your eyewear.
Red/Pink
Great for moderate to low light situations. These lenses enhance contrats and depth perception, reducing eye strain over long rides.
Grey/Smoke
Perfect for bright, sunny conditions. Grey lenses reduce overall brightness and are a versatile lens.
Brown/Amber
Ideal for variable light conditions (sunny to cloudy). Filtering out blue light provides enhanced contrast and depth perception, especially in areas with mixed sunlight and shade, like wooded trails.
Yellow/Gold
These lenses are a good choice for low-light and overcast conditions. Increased contrast brightens your surroundings for those early morning or late evening rides.
Green
Work best in low-light conditions. Heightened contrast makes them extremely effective in rainy and foggy conditions.

From lens coatings to frame materials, here are some key components to consider when choosing your new cycling sunglasses:
Lightweight materials are another important factor, as they prevent the glasses from feeling heavy over long distances, reducing fatigue.
Anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings can further enhance the longevity and usability of your sunglasses.
Interchangeable lenses are the best balance between convenience and speciality. Just swap out your lenses depending on your current season and environment. This adaptability is particularly beneficial for cyclists who tackle a range of environments and weather conditions.
Category 1 Lenses: Provide light tinting suitable for low-light conditions, such as overcast days or early mornings.
Category 2 Lenses: Offer moderate tinting for medium to bright conditions, like cloudy days or early afternoons.
Category 3 Lenses: Feature dark tinting designed for the brightest, sunny conditions, such as midday, overhead sun, providing maximum protection from intense light and UV rays.
Polycarbonate lenses are a popular choice among our customers due to their lightweight and impact-resistant properties. These lenses are perfect for the dynamic and unpredictable nature of running, where you might encounter debris or rough terrain.
Adjustable temple tips and nose pads the most notable components featuring in many Oakley frames. This is beneficial for long rides, where even a slightly wrong fit can start to rub and irritate.
Increased airflow and breathability reduces lens misting in cold weather.
