How to Choose TriEye Cycling Mirror Glasses and Rowing Sunglasses

When doing an activity outdoors, one must be aware of one's surroundings, particularly when sharing roads, paths or water ways with others. Wearing the right type of eyewear can help to shield eyes from sunlight and wind, and aid in maintaining good sight during motion.

When looking at cycling mirror glasses, rowing sunglasses, and TriEye, knowing about lens options, fit, mirror adjustments and purpose will help you select appropriate glasses.

Selecting the Best Cycling Mirror Glasses

When selecting the best cycling mirror glasses, there are a number of factors you should take into account.

It's difficult for a cyclist to keep their head up to the right to see oncoming vehicles, other bicyclists and obstacles. Cycling mirror glasses combine a small rear-view mirror on the glasses into one. Cycling mirror glasses are a type of eyewear with the mirror integrated into the piece to provide an alternative to the traditional mirror that is on the handlebar or helmet.

TriEye's sport glasses incorporate a mirror that slides up and down near the edge of the lens. The mirror is adjustable so that it can be positioned to your head and riding position. When properly set up, this will enable you to look over your shoulder, but also focus on the road ahead.

But a mirror is not a substitute for shoulder checks, safe riding techniques or understanding that traffic changes.

Rowing Sunglasses: Water Glare & Navigation Needs

To avoid sun damage to your eyes, invest in a pair of suitable sunglasses.

The rowers are in a different situation as they are moving in the opposite direction from the direction they look. Repeated head or body movements can be required to check for buoys, other boats and conditions of the course.

A rear-view mirror may be an added benefit for rowing sunglasses. TriEye is offering its dual and single mirror option in the form of a View frame. It produces a rowing guide that emphasizes the use of dual mirrors for rowing to and from either side of a course.

The type of lens is also an important factor on the water. Clear lenses could be helpful in low light conditions, while polarized lenses will help to minimize surface glare. Select depending on the type of rowing you normally do and the amount of light.

The main feature of TriEye eyewear is its integrated rear-view mirror. The company says the mirror is optical glass coated with a reflective layer, in a mount that is adjustable. It can be tuned to suit the various faces and activity positions.

If necessary, tilt the mirror with your finger and position the glasses level so that you can see at least part of your cheek or shoulder. This is the point you'll look at to set the rear view.

The mirror may be new to you and you might need a couple of outings to get used to the mirror and get a comfortable look. If possible, make adjustments while at rest.

How to Find the Right Fit

How to find the right fit for you and your family.

Stability and comfort are key when exercising with an eyepiece. Glasses must fit snugly on the nose and ears and not press or slide when in motion.

Take into account the frame width, nose-pad adjustment, lens shape and whether it fits any type of headgear worn. Available in various sizes, TriEye's View also offers prescription insert options for compatible models.

Before ordering, be sure to check the product dimensions and return policies.

Factors to Consider When Deciding on a Lens

When deciding on a lens, there are a number of factors to take into account.

Each lens is appropriate for specific conditions. Sunlight, weather, water glare and early morning or late evening activity may impact visibility.

When you are making a decision on TriEye options, you must do so by examining the lens and its characteristics such as polarization, photochromic, reflective or clear. Think about the amount of light you typically experience and if you need a pair for multiple activities.

Check out the manufacturer's lens-care directions, too. Using the wrong materials to clean lenses can result in scratching or a loss of finish.

Properly Caring for Your Sports Eyewear

Properly taking care of your sports eyewear is incredibly important.

Use an appropriate microfiber cloth to clean the lenses and follow instructions on the manufacturer's website to remove dirt or moisture. When not in use, place the glasses in a protective case.

Check frame, hinges, nose pads and mirror housing on a regular basis. Do not place any heavy objects on the glasses or leave them in any area where high temperatures may damage the glasses.

Rinse off debris as recommended prior to wiping the lenses when using the course for water or dusty outdoor conditions.
