REVO Cycling Glasses with UV400 Protection

What REVO lenses actually do

REVO is a mirror-like coating applied to the lens surface. Its main job is to cut down on glare and reflected light, which can be tiring when you ride toward a low sun or along bright pavement.

The coating also gives the lens a colorful, reflective look from the outside. That is a style choice for many riders, but the practical benefit is a more comfortable view in strong light.

The Cycling Glasses with REVO Lenses, UV400 use this kind of coating and are meant to help reduce glare during outdoor rides.

Why UV400 matters on the bike

UV400 is a lens rating that means the lens blocks light up to 400 nanometers, which covers UVA and UVB rays. When you spend hours outside, that is a useful baseline to look for.

Note that UV protection is separate from lens darkness. A dark lens without UV filtering is not a substitute, so check the product description for the UV400 label.

This model lists UV400 protection, which makes it a reasonable option for daytime riding, commuting and weekend tours in sunny weather.

Fit and comfort on longer rides

Weight matters more than most buyers expect. After two or three hours, a heavy frame can press on the nose bridge and behind the ears.

The frame of this pair is lightweight and intended for comfortable wear on longer rides. When you try any sports glasses, check that they sit securely when you look down at the handlebars and that they do not touch your helmet straps.

Also consider whether the frame leaves enough room for your cycling cap or helmet brim.

Beyond cycling

Cyclists are not the only ones who benefit from a glare-reducing lens. Runners, hikers and anyone doing outdoor sport in bright conditions can use the same style of glasses.

If you want one pair for several activities, a lightweight frame and a mirror coating are a flexible combination. For very low light, such as dusk or forest riding, a mirrored lens may feel too dark, so consider a lighter lens for those conditions.
