Motorcycle Sunglasses

Motorcycle sunglasses, or biker glasses, are in some ways different from your regular sunglasses. Biker sunglasses are classed as sports sunglasses. They need to stay put while you’re riding your bike and prevent bugs from flying into your eyes in addition to protecting your eyes from ultraviolet radiation. For them to stay put they have to be adjusted firmly or, even safer, you can buy wraparound sunglasses.

Some brands, like Wiley X, offer sunglasses that can be used during the day as well as the night with interchangeable lenses. These wraparound sunglasses with interchangeable lenses by Wiley X can be bought, also online, for prices ranging from about $ 99 and up. There are many makers and prices range from the cheapest all the way up to hundreds of dollars.

A new technique is used to create shatterproof sunglasses; these are not actually made of glass but with types of quality, treated plastic, which is much safer because glasses can shatter during an accident. You can imagine how dangerous that can be to your eyes!

Another hot brand of biker sunglasses is made by Orange County Choppers (OCC), which you might know from the popular show called American Chopper, where they build custom motorcycles. Their overwhelming popularity led to huge product marketing, and now they also have special biker sunglasses with their logo on them.
