The difference between sports sunglasses and ordinary sunglasses
1. Different lens materials and functions.
The lenses of sports sunglasses are usually made of high-performance materials, such as PC, which have super impact resistance and can effectively protect the eyes from accidental injuries. The lens materials of ordinary sunglasses mainly include resin, glass, etc. Although they also have certain protective effects, they are far inferior to sunglasses in terms of impact resistance and scratch resistance. In addition to the different lens materials, there are also great differences in functions. In addition to the basic sunshade function, sunglasses also emphasize all-round protection of the eyes, including blocking glare and preventing wind, sand and foreign objects from flying into the eyes. Although sunglasses also have a certain shading effect, their design focuses more on fashion and appearance. They generally do not have the filtering and protection functions of sunglasses, especially in blocking harmful light such as ultraviolet rays and blue light. It is far less effective than sunglasses.
2. Different protection levels and standards.
Sports sunglasses meet specific protection levels and standards, such as ANSI Z87.1, which ensure the safety and reliability of sunglasses in high-intensity running environments. Ordinary sunglasses do not have these professional protection level certifications and cannot provide adequate protection in high-intensity sports environments.
3. Different design concepts
Sports sunglasses usually use curved frame design, which can block ultraviolet rays and strong light 360 degrees and provide all-round protection for the eyes. The frames of ordinary sunglasses are mostly parallel designs, and their main function is to block the sun, and the protection of the sides is relatively weak. Secondly, sports sunglasses use soft rubber pads or silicone materials at the nose pads and temples to provide a more secure fit and anti-slip effect, ensuring that the glasses will not shake or slip during exercise. In addition, many sunglasses also provide interchangeable lens designs, and runners can replace lenses of different colors according to weather and lighting conditions. In general, the adaptability and adjustability of ordinary sunglasses are relatively limited, and they are usually not personalized according to user needs.
4. Different field of view
The design of sports sunglasses usually takes into account the dynamic field of view requirements during exercise. Therefore, its lens shape and frame design can often provide a wider field of view and reduce the blind spots that may occur during running. The field of view of ordinary sunglasses is relatively fixed and is not suitable for fast-moving sports scenes.
