Choosing the right lens color for different riding environments depends mainly on light conditions and personal preference. Here are some common lens colors and their applicable environments:
Gray lenses: Gray lenses are the most common and neutral choice. They can reduce the intensity of light without changing the color of objects. They are suitable for all weather and outdoor activities, especially in strong sunlight conditions. They can reduce reflected glare and reduce eye fatigue.
Yellow lenses: Yellow lens cycling glasses can enhance contrast in insufficient light conditions and are suitable for use in low-light environments such as dusk, night, early morning, foggy or rainy days. They also help focus on fast-moving objects while filtering out blue light that causes eye fatigue.
Brown or brown lenses: Brown lenses can enhance stereoscopic perception and are suitable for activities that require judging distances, such as clear weather. They absorb more blue light and provide good road visibility and visual depth.
Green lenses: Green lenses provide better contrast than gray and are suitable for use in environments with a lot of greenery, such as forests or parks.
Blue lenses: blue lens cycling glasses filter out yellow light and leave blue light, which helps identify contours and improve color perception, but may increase eye fatigue.
Red lenses: Red lenses help the eyes identify the distance of objects and enhance the sense of three-dimensionality. They are suitable for use in environments that need to enhance visual depth and reduce eye fatigue.
Transparent lenses: The main function of the transparent lenses of cycling sunglasses is to protect the eyes from being hurt by foreign objects. They are suitable for use at night or in dimly lit environments.
Mercury or colorful lenses: These lenses have good reflectivity and are suitable for use in strong light environments, such as snowy areas or high altitude areas with strong light and strong ultraviolet rays.
When choosing cycling glasses, you should also consider the transmittance of the lenses, which will affect the brightness of the field of vision. Lenses with high transmittance are suitable for darker light environments, while lenses with low transmittance are suitable for strong light environments. In addition, the material of the lenses and the quality of the glasses are also important. You should choose products from regular brands to ensure durability and comfort.
