Since riding make take place at different times of the day, or in various weather conditions it is difficult to recommend a universal lens colour for cycling. The best option is interchangeable lenses which are available on all our featured Rudy Project models and most Smith Optics models. They allow you to swap out lenses to correspond to the lighting condition you are riding in. In bright sunlight, you can use a dark sunglass lens. A grey lens will be the darkest, but a brown or amber lens can help increase contrast so you can better read the terrain (i.e. pot holes, rocks, mud, etc.) When riding in low light or overcast days, a yellow or red lens can be used to block glare in this lighting condition. At night, a clear lens can be used to shield wind and debris without compromising vision. Photochromic lenses are also designed for varying lighting conditions. This is a lens designed to change colour with the amount of light outside, so in bright sunlight, it will act as a true sunglass. However, in the early morning, late afternoon, or on overcast days, the lens will lighten up so that they still can be worn, but let more light through the lens so you can see.
As well as lens colour, we have chosen frames with a wraparound style to keep out the wind and those pesky insects!
