cycling glasses with polarizing filters are more expensive than regular bike glasses and many wonder whether the extra cost for the addition to the discs applied polarizing filter is justified.
given a short trip to the school physics: When sunlight hits a reflective non-metallic surface, is reflected there. Two resulting orthogonal beams, which are perceived by our eyes as a glare.
through a polarizing filter to the tinted glasses disc is coated in a complex process, only the horizontal light rays are allowed to completely pass. The orienting itself towards the vertical beams are increasingly filtered out.
At this point, we now also know how to check a polarizing glasses:
It keeps the glasses horizontally the sun go down and then turns them 90 degrees. In this "upright position" no light penetrates through the windows.
And we as bikers to do with it? Sure, we take the transitions were not so true. Who then but sometimes as a uvex Polavision Radbrille was underway, will have noticed a pleasant difference: The sky is bluer, the green is green, wet asphalt is easier to see, car windows are transparent and provides a view of a water hazard one to the bottom (which also explains the popularity of Polbrillen among the Anglo-friends).
The benefits are so obvious: Cyclists move significantly with polarized glasses safer on the road and off. And often it is just a small moment in the shadows a glare, the view of a hole in the pavement or a rock on the gravel and brings us to the fall.
just for this case, it is worth considering to invest the 30-50% additional charge for the bike model glasses with polarizing filters.
In uvex wear glasses all bike (and also the ski) with polarizing plates adding "polavision. uvex referred to the special coating technology of the spectacle plate with a multilayer polarizing filter.
following bike models are available with polarizing glasses replacement lenses on sale:
- uvex crow pro polavision (see illustration)
