Night cycling glasses

Recommended Posts

Gents what are good glasses for cycling at night? I see some okes ride with yellow lenses. Does it make a difference? 

I wear contact lenses and my eyes are prone to drying out. So I need to keep the wind off them. 

Any tricks to stop them misting up when riding with a buff?

I use clear safety glasses. Jonsson Workwear have a few styles.

Misting... consider using a spray the motorcyclists use on their visors?

I use glasses with photochromic lenses, that way it doesn’t really matter what time of day/night I ride. Generally speaking the more expensive lenses go a bit more clear than the cheaper ones when in the dark. Oakley’s as well as POCs are very good. 
 

Otherwise just a clear lense works well.

 

I find any sort of tint to be more annoying than anything else in the dark.

I just got a pair of 30 South Velos with photochromatic lenses, which are absolute gold. I'm really impressed with how much you get for R750.spacer.png

The yellow tinted ones do improve your low light vision. I found mine at a gunshop. They are used as eye protection by shooters and to create more contrast between a flying clay pigeon and the blue sky background.
