For motorcyclists, sunglasses are much more than just a fashion statement. They are a crucial piece of equipment that combines safety, comfort and style. At Bad & Bold, we understand the needs of our community and offer you a selection of sunglasses designed specifically for the motorcycle lifestyle.
Safety first: What matters when it comes to motorcycle sunglasses
Protection from the elements :
- On a motorcycle you are directly exposed to wind, dust, insects and UV radiation. High-quality sunglasses protect your eyes from these dangers.
- Look for models with a robust construction and shatter-proof lenses that can withstand high speeds.
- Another important aspect when buying sunglasses is UV protection. Look for the CE mark and the "UV400" indication, which guarantee 100 percent protection against UVA and UVB rays.
ANSI Z87.1 Safety Rating :
- This rating guarantees that the lenses are shockproof and protect your eyes from flying particles. An absolute must for every motorcyclist. The Vallon Moto Aviators in our range have this rating.
Perfect fit :
- The shape of your face plays an important role in choosing the right sunglasses. Oval faces can wear almost any shape, while round faces benefit from square models. Square faces look softer with round or oval lenses.
- Look for models with non-slip temples and nose pads that provide optimal support even under the helmet. Sunglasses that slip or pinch while driving are not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous.
Clear vision in every situation
Polarized lenses :
- Glare from reflective surfaces such as wet roads or chrome parts can significantly impair visibility.
- Polarized lenses minimize this glare and ensure clear, high-contrast vision.
Tint for every time of day :
- Light tints are suitable for cloudy days or driving at dusk, while dark tints offer optimal protection in bright sunshine.
- Yellow lenses increase contrast and improve visibility in low light conditions.
- Anti-reflective coating (AR) on the inside of the lenses prevents reflections from headlights or other light sources from blinding you.
The right tint :
- G-15 lenses: The green tint ensures a natural color perception while reducing glare.
- NR-76 lenses: The yellow NightRider lenses brighten your vision for evening and low-light rides.
Style and comfort for the motorcycle lifestyle
Retro charm with modern technology :
- Whether classic aviator glasses or another design – choose sunglasses that underline your personal style.
- However, make sure that the design does not compromise functionality.
Lightweight materials :
- Lightweight sunglasses ensure high wearing comfort, even on long tours.
- TR90® Grilamid and polycarbonate are popular materials that are both lightweight and durable.
Longevity :
- OBE hinges stand for particularly high quality and a long service life.
- High-quality materials such as cellulose acetate and TR90® Grilamid as well as robust hinges ensure a long service life.
Sustainability:
- You can also contribute to protecting the environment by riding a motorcycle.
- Look for sunglasses that are made from recycled materials or have undergone environmentally friendly production processes.
Care instructions for your motorcycle sunglasses
Our Vallon motorcycle goggles are made from high quality materials and with careful craftsmanship. Like all beautiful things, it is always best to treat them with care.
If you take your VALLONs to the seaside or if they come into contact with a lot of sunscreen or sweat, please rinse the lenses under the tap for a few minutes at the end of the day (especially if the lenses are mirrored!) to remove any residues of the substances mentioned. Otherwise, they will start to attack the coating and damage the lenses.
After washing, dry them gently with the microfiber cleaning cloth that comes with the sunglasses. Avoid using your t-shirt or paper towels as these can scratch the lenses.
Store your sunglasses in a sturdy case to protect them from scratches and damage.
Conclusion
High-quality sunglasses are an indispensable companion for every motorcyclist. They protect your eyes, improve your vision and underline your individual style. At Bad & Bold you will find a carefully selected range of sunglasses that are specifically tailored to the needs of motorcycle enthusiasts.
