Eyewear, both corrective and protective.

Vision is one of the primary senses used while cycling. So protect your eyes while riding. This tag is multi-purpose and covers sunglasses, corrective eyewear, and wind protection.

Sunglasses protect from excess visible light in the form of glare, and from invisible UV radiation.

Corrective lenses permit those with sub-optimal eyesight to still ride safely.

Wind protection relates to keeping foreign objects out of our eyes while riding, like dust, insects, rain, and other airbourne obstacles.
