What are photochromic sports sunglasses?

Photochromic sports sunglasses feature self-tinting lenses that automatically adapt to changing light conditions. They provide comfortable vision in bright sunshine, cloudy weather and shade – without the need to manually change lenses.

How dark do photochromic lenses get?

Depending on the model, photochromic sports sunglasses cover different filter categories. Many modern models adjust from Category 1 to Category 3, making them suitable for a wide range of light conditions.

Can photochromic lenses replace polarized lenses?

Not completely. Photochromic lenses automatically adjust their tint, while polarized lenses reduce reflections from water, roads and other reflective surfaces. The better choice depends on your sport and the conditions you ride or run in.

Yes. Thanks to their automatic tint adjustment, photochromic sports sunglasses are not only ideal for sports but also for everyday activities such as walking, travelling and spending time outdoors.

Do photochromic lenses react differently in hot and cold weather?

The reaction speed of photochromic lenses is influenced by temperature. In cooler conditions they generally react slightly faster and may reach a darker tint than in very hot weather. During normal sports use, however, this difference is usually hardly noticeable.

Why are more and more athletes choosing photochromic sports sunglasses?

Photochromic sports sunglasses provide exceptional comfort in changing light conditions. Because the lenses automatically adapt to sunshine, shade and cloudy skies, you rarely need to change lenses and always enjoy clear vision.
