Lens Guide for Sunglasses

CATEGORY 0:

these are transparent glasses. The glass is white, as for glasses. These lenses are not intended to protect against UV or glare, but rather against wind, cold and rain. They transmit between 80 and 100% of the brightness.

CATEGORY 1:

these slightly tinted lenses provide visual comfort for cyclists because they improve contrast. Perfect in overcast weather, category 1 lenses transmit between 43 and 80% of the light.

CATEGORY 2:

it is the protection to be favoured in the off-season. Category 2 lenses offer good protection against glare. They are suitable for bike rides with average sunshine and when conditions are changing with alternating sunshine, cloudy skies, and cloudy spells. Category 2 lenses allow 18 to 43% of the brightness to pass through.

CATEGORY 3:

Widely used by cyclists in summer, these lenses offer protection and excellent comfort when the light is bright. Perfect for summer bike rides, they transmit only 8 to 18% of the brightness for your comfort. Excellent shields for your eyes in very sunny situations, category 3 lenses are also recommended for nautical activities and winter sports.

CATEGORY 4:

It is very unlikely that you will have to wear category 4 glasses because they are more intended for high mountains. These are very opaque glasses offering extreme protection. Transmitting only 3 to 8% of the luminosity, they are particularly suitable for mountaineers and nautical activities.
