If you have decided it’s time to improve your
overall health by strengthening your heart and your
legs, then cycling may be just the activity that you have been looking
for. In the recent past, most cyclists had no idea about the
importance of quality sunglasses while they were riding. Good
sunglasses will perform many functions for the
cyclist. They will do things like protect your valuable eyes from
flying debris and bugs. They also protect your eyes
from harmful UV rays. But here is one critically important overlooked function of
quality sunglasses.
Reducing eye strain they will also actually reduce your overall fatigue which improves the overall experience of cycling.
Here are a few of the things that you should
evaluate in order to choose the correct sunglasses
for cycling:
Optics:
As we said earlier, if you ride a lot, whether it is
cycling, mountain bike, dirt bike, motorcycle or any
other form of cycling, good optics contribute to the
experience by reducing both eye fatigue and
overall
body fatigue.
Frames:
Cyclists need a lightweight frame with a comfortable
wraparound snug no-slip grip design. Because of your
natural bent down position when cycling most of your
vision is going to be seen through the upper third
of the lens (similar to the view of a military
shooter). Frames need to be narrow and designed to
hold the lens so that vision in that upper third is
not distorted. My
Ranger Vector Interchangeable
model has been
specifically designed for shooters and works
perfectly for the best distortion free comfortable
cycling sunglasses available anywhere.
Materials:
Cyclists also need strength and flexibility along
with needing lighter weighted sunglass models.
Today’s polycarbonate materials which are used by
most of the better manufacturers will definitely
handle the task. However, due the extra rigors
involved in most all riding situations we suggest
that a good warranty should be a prime consideration
for the serious cyclist like our
lifetime guarantee.
After our evaluation of our best available cycling
models of sunglasses we decided that both the
Ranger Vector Interchangeable and the
Tundra met
our criteria.
These are "military grade" and used by the US military, police,
SWAT and EMT's for many of the same reasons that these also
work especially
well for cycling, dirt bikes, mountain bikes and
even motorcycle sunglasses. They are lightweight and
strong. These models
feature polycarbonate lenses that
provide full spectrum UV protection and have
imbedded infrared radiation blockers to keep the
eyes from getting dry and scratchy, even on the
hottest days.
Like our other models Vector Interchangeable is backed by a
Lifetime Replacement Guarantee
and a seven day satisfaction guarantee.
