Motorcycle Eye Protection

According to Kalin Nacheff, every motorcyclist not wearing a helmet with shield should have at least two pairs of motorcycle glasses: a pair of glasses with clear lenses for night riding (or riding in the rain) and a pair of sunglasses. Motorcycle glasses are made specifically for high speeds—they do not shutter easily and attach firmly to your head.

Polarized motorcycle sunglasses are highly recommended because they cut glare, do not shutter easily, reduce eyestrain, and give you a clean view of the road.

Some motorcycle glasses have transition (photochromic) lenses. Transition lenses are good for both day and night riding.

Transition lenses, however, do not get as dark as fully polarized lenses and so are less comfortable for people who are more sensitive to sunlight. Transition lenses are also made of weaker material than the polarized.

Mirrored motorcycle sunglasses have mirrored lenses. Protective coating (mirrored coating) covers the outside of mirrored lenses, making the lenses look like mirrors. These lenses are more breakable than the polarized polycarbonate lenses and thus offer less eye protection.

When buying your motorcycle glasses, you should also consider lens color and scratch resistance.
