Biker Sunglasses - They're Not Goggles, Are They?
Biker sunglasses are actually ordinary sunglasses with special
lenses and anyone can wear these sunglasses. They received that
name due to their popularity among those who like to do a lot of
biking and who want the best possible protection for their eyes.
Biker sunglasses have polarized lenses that neutralize the glare
from the street as the sun reflects off it, making it much
easier for you to see.
If you notice the bikers in races such as the Tour de France,
you will realize they are wearing sunglasses. These sun glasses
have nylon frames that fit snug to the face and retain their
original shape when you take them off. These biking sunglasses
also have shatterproof frames because no matter what kind of
biking you do - pedal biking or motorcycle riding- small bits of
rock and debris can flick up from the wheels. When you add this
to the protection from UV rays that you get from biker
sunglasses, you are doubly protected.
All the leading designers of sunglasses manufacture biker
sunglasses. Some of the names that immediately spring to mind
include Oakley, Costa del Mar and Arnette. The sun glasses from
these designers are suitable as biking sunglasses, motorcycle
sunglasses or fishing sunglasses. In fact they are designed for
use in extreme sports and will stand up to rugged conditions.
The main feature of the biker sunglasses is the polarized
lenses. The polarizing feature helps to reduce the glare from
the sun allowing you to look right into it and still see where
you are going. These biking sunglasses are also great for
playing baseball and when you are enjoying winter sports.
When you are shopping for biker sunglasses, look for lenses that
have at least 95% UV protection. Along with looking cool when
you wear biking sunglasses, you also have to protect your eyes
from the harmful rays of the sun. This is the intention behind
the UV rating. When you order your designer sun glasses online,
you can check the rating of each pair of sunglasses, so you know
exactly what protection you have. You also have a wider
selection and can even have your prescription added to the
lenses. Now you don't have to stumble around because you can't
see and pretend that the lens color is too dark.
Biker sunglasses, for total protection for your eyes, cycling
or motorcycling.
