Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between polarized and photochromic? Polarized lenses are a fixed tint that eliminates glare from reflective surfaces like roads and water. Photochromic lenses automatically change tint based on UV light — clear indoors and dark outdoors. You can't have both in one lens.
Are photochromic lenses good for motorcycle riding? Yes — they adapt automatically as you move from bright sun to shade, tunnels, and back. You don't need to stop and swap lenses as conditions change, which is a major advantage for riding.
Are polarized lenses good for road riding? Yes — polarized lenses cut glare from wet pavement and oncoming light, significantly improving visibility on bright days. Note: some GPS and phone screens may appear darker with polarized lenses due to the anti-glare filter.
Cleaning Spits Eyewear safety glasses is essential to keep them in good condition and maintain their effectiveness. First, rinse the glasses with cold or warm water to remove dust or dirt. Next, apply a small amount of dish soap on both sides of the lenses and rub them gently with your fingers. Rinse the glasses with water again and pat dry with a microfiber cloth. Avoid using hot water, abrasive cleaners, or tissues to clean safety glasses; they can damage the lenses and reduce their effectiveness. Repeat this process regularly to ensure clear vision and long-lasting safety.
