Why do I need foam padded motorcycle glasses?

Foam padding creates a seal around the eye socket that blocks wind, dust, insects, and road debris -- protection that standard sunglasses cannot provide at speed. The foam seal also reduces eye fatigue on long rides by eliminating wind buffeting around the lens edges.

Are Spits motorcycle glasses safety rated?

The Zilla is ANSI Z87.1+ certified for high-impact protection. The Wind Master, Ultra, Excites, and Flashpoint are foam padded motorcycle sunglasses designed for wind and debris protection. If ANSI certification is required for your ride or workplace, choose the Zilla.

What is a photochromic lens and is it good for riding?

Photochromic lenses automatically darken in bright sunlight and return to clear in low light -- no lens swapping needed. The Ultra uses photochromic technology, making it ideal for rides that move between tunnels, shaded roads, and open highway where light conditions change constantly.

Can I wear these over prescription glasses?

Our foam padded motorcycle glasses are not designed as fit-over frames. If you need eyewear that fits over prescription glasses, check out our Outlook Fit Over Prescription Series.

Do motorcycle glasses provide UV protection?

Yes. All Spits motorcycle eyewear provides UV400 protection, blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays -- essential for long hours on the road in direct sunlight.

What is the difference between the Zilla, Wind Master, and Ultra?

The Zilla is ANSI Z87.1+ safety rated -- the best choice if you need certified impact protection. The Wind Master has an interchangeable lens system for adapting to different light conditions. The Ultra uses a photochromic lens that adjusts automatically. All three have foam padded frames for wind and debris sealing.
