See the Road Clearly, Ride with Confidence: Motorcycle Sunglasses Perfected at Empire Optical

Motorcycle Sunglasses

Hitting the open road on your motorcycle is an exhilarating experience. The wind whips through your hair, the sun warms your face, and the world unfolds before you. But when blinding sunlight glares off the pavement, unexpected debris flies your way, and the scenery blurs, that exhilarating experience can quickly turn dangerous. Empire Optical, equipped with Oklahoma’s most advanced lens lab, is your one-stop shop for motorcycle-specific sunglasses designed to keep your eyes protected and focused on the ride.

Why Invest in Motorcycle Sunglasses?

Regular sunglasses might seem sufficient, but motorcycle sunglasses offer significant advantages:

  • Unmatched Clarity and Impact Resistance: Unlike everyday shades, motorcycle sunglasses boast high-quality, impact-resistant lenses. This translates to exceptional clarity, allowing you to spot potholes, oncoming traffic, and potential hazards with ease. Every ride becomes a focused and safe adventure.
  • Superior Protection from the Elements: When you’re on a motorcycle, your eyes are exposed to more than just sunlight. Empire Optical carries motorcycle sunglasses crafted from Polycarbonate and Trivex, two champions in lens material technology:
    • Polycarbonate: This lightweight powerhouse offers superior impact resistance, shielding your eyes from flying debris or unexpected insects. It also blocks harmful UV rays, protecting your eyes on long rides under the sun.
    • Trivex: This newer material boasts exceptional clarity, scratch resistance, and superior optics compared to Polycarbonate. Ideal for riders who demand the best possible visual experience and scratch resistance.
  • Reduced Glare and Eye Strain: Traditional sunglasses might not adequately block glare bouncing off the road,your windshield, or even your helmet visor. Motorcycle sunglasses come with specially designed lenses that cut through glare, reducing eye strain and fatigue. This keeps you comfortable and focused for longer rides.

Choosing the Right Lens Material, Color, and Mirror Coating for Your Ride

Empire Optical’s lens experts will guide you through the ideal material, color, and mirror coating options based on your riding style and preferences:

  • Lens Material:
    • Polycarbonate: The most popular choice for its affordability, lightweight comfort, and excellent impact resistance and UV protection.
    • Trivex: Ideal for riders who prioritize superior optics and clarity, with exceptional scratch resistance compared to Polycarbonate.
  • Lens Color: The optimal tint depends on light conditions:
    • Bright Sun: Opt for neutral-toned lenses like gray, brown, or green. These provide excellent sun protection while maintaining clear color perception, allowing you to judge distances and identify potential hazards accurately.
    • Low Light: If you ride during overcast periods, early mornings, or evenings, consider lenses with a lighter tint like yellow or rose. These enhance contrast and depth perception, allowing you to see potential obstacles more clearly in less brightly lit environments.
    • Variable Conditions: For rides that transition between sun and shade, photochromic lenses are a game-changer. These lenses automatically adjust their tint based on light intensity, providing optimal vision in any condition.
  • Mirror Coating: This additional layer on the lens can further enhance your vision for specific riding conditions:
    • Sunny Conditions: A gold or bronze mirror coating reflects more light, reducing glare and eye strain on exceptionally bright days.
    • Variable Light: Consider a rose gold mirror coating for rides that transition between sun and shade. It offers a balance of light reduction and color perception.
    • Low-Light Conditions: A light-colored mirror coating, like yellow or rose, provides the best possible light transmission for dawn or dusk rides, while still offering some glare reduction.
