Beat The Weather And Stay On The Bike – Top Cycling Photochromic Sunglasses

In these colder months you can’t depend on the sun beating the cloud every day, but you can count on getting caught out by early sunsets, leaden skies, fog, rain or even sleet and snow! Photochromic lenses can help prepare you for a massive range of light conditions, adjusting their tint based on the level of natural light present. Take a look at RxSport’s five recommendations for light-adjusting cycling shades this season.

Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ – Grey Smoke / Clear Black Iridium Photochromic

The best-selling Flak Jacket XLJ fitted with a photochromic lens utilising market-leading Transitions technology. Performs well in light conditions ranging from dull to direct sunshine and everything in-between. An Iridium mirror coating dampens glare when the sun does manage to creep out.

Oakley Radarlock Path – Infrared / Clear Black Iridium Photochromic Vented

Oakley’s Radarlock is an iconic multi-sports frame, but it really excels on the road. Unobtainium components keep the fit secure, and a mix of frame and lens ventilation channels eliminate the risk of lens fogging. Switchlock technology allows you to swap out the lens, but the Clear to Black Iridium lens fitted here will see you through dawn to dusk in these drearier months!
