KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON THE ROAD 

When it comes to glasses for cycling, function is more important than fashion. Much like having the right cycling gear like shoes or helmets, cycling glasses need to be purpose-built for vision performance and protection outdoors and in motion.

Wind, debris, dust, and even flying insects are dangerous to the eyes not to mention the harmful UV rays from the sun. Line of sight is also important when you are on the bike as depending on your riding style, clear unobstructed vision and full frame and lens coverage over your eyes is key.

When choosing the right pair of cycling sunglasses or glasses, it’s important to consider frame fit, protection from the elements, and lens options. Switch cycling sunglasses and glasses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection from the sun's radiation as well as removable eyecup options to screen the eyes from wind, dust, debris.

With a variety of full frame and semi-rim sunglasses styles to suit adult men and women, Switch sunglasses also feature magnetic interchangeable lenses that allow you to change lenses rapidly as light conditions change or for long days on the road.

I love my sunglasses. I bought these to use for cycling with the sunglasses and the yellow lens for those gray days. Been using them for a few weeks now and they are wonderful. So glad I made the purchase.

BUILT FOR DURABILITY AND VISION PERFORMANCE

Element protection

Cycling on or off the road puts you at risk for an eye injury with high speeds and impact from the elements. Long hours outside expose eyes to harmful UVA and UVB rays from the sun as well as wind and dust from your environment. These components play a role in vision loss as well as potential development of chronic diseases like cataracts and corneal damage. Wearing the right pair of sunglasses to protect your vision is a must.

Cycling glasses or cycling sunglasses should provide 100 percent UV protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Cycling eyewear designed with additional tech features such as eyecups or side shields that protect your eyes against wind, bugs, and other particles at speed will help with your visual performance and clarity to keep your focus on the road or trail.

Frame Fit

The majority of cyclists and bikers wear helmets to ensure their safety on the road, the trail, and especially in the city. Typical fashion sunglasses don’t work well with helmets and depending on your riding style, don’t sit properly on the face and can easily fall off when looking down.

Incorrect fit can also cause an obstruction to your line of sight with the top of the frame blocking your vision or it sitting just below that, leaving your eye exposed to the elements. The proper eyewear must be perfectly fit snugly under the helmet and on your face for a clear field of vision.

Our cycling sunglasses and prescription cycling glasses were built for high performance. Built with durability and flexibility, these prescription sunglasses and are lightweight and feature an adjustable nose piece and contour temples to keep the frames in place and secure comfortable fit under helmet. Full rim, semi-rim and half-rim styles provide many options for the best fit on the face for your type of cycling.
