10 Best Cycling Glasses UK 2023 | Oakley, Smith and More

Well worth every penny and crafted from the highest quality performance materials, these are total winners. Choose from 9 Prizm lenses, with the "Prizm Golf" tint good for both sun protection and bringing out colours on dull rides. Any you choose will have exceptional optics and all the ventilation you need. 

The shape isn't only there to look techy – your vision will never be obstructed but always protected, even when riding head down or when checking over your shoulder. They're non-slip coated, highly flexible and secure, and basically a dream to wear and ride in. Top marks!

A solid pick for road cycling, XC and trails, Smith Optics' Ruckus glasses are large enough to protect from all manner of glare, crud and mud, as well as sweat and grease thanks to the hydroleophobic coating. They also come with a protective hard case. 

Included is a clarity-boosting amber-tinted lens set for sun, shade, and everything in between. Even with the minimalist frame they feel very high-quality and robust and fit very comfortably. 

Casual and modern these barely-there frames are lightweight, durable, military impact resistant and give a wider peripheral view. The polarised lenses protect against UV damage and glare and provide much clearer and vibrant vision. The ventilation holes create low resistance making these glasses suitable for high speed rides.

Ideal for those who are short-sighted these glasses come with a myopia frame to put your prescription lenses in. Plus a glasses box, pouch and cloth to keep them well stored and clean ready for your next outing!

With their extra-large wraparound lenses made from impact-resistant NXT (superior even to polycarbonate), anti-fog treatment, hydrophobic coating, and photochromic adaptability, it's safe to say this pair is ideal for a day on the trails, whatever the weather. 

Bringing to the table the sorts of features you'd usually pay a lot more for, Tifosi's shades come with 3 lenses: clear for night riding, red-tinted for upping contrast, and a smoked set for sun protection. They're all UV-blocking and made from Grilamid, which is lightweight yet ultra-durable. 

Even with the robust frames they're amply ventilated to reduce sweat and fogging, and include hydrophilic rubber ear and nose pieces for non-slip security and adjustments for a personalised fit. 

Enjoy your ride and with an uncompromised performance with these high definition photochromic lenses and frameless glasses. Treated with a permanent and long-lasting anti-fogging coating these lenses are almost impossible to fog up whatever the weather.

Designed for comfort and stability the frames are lightweight with grips on the nose and arm tips to prevent slipping. Stylish and functional these glasses make a great addition to your cycling attire.

This sassy pink pair from BBB include a set of 3 polycarbonate dark, light, and yellow lenses, all with a 100% UV protection, a hydrophobic coating, an anti-fog inner coating and extra ventilation gaps to the top and sides. 

Grilamid plastic frames make for a flexible fit on a number of head sizes, plus the padded nose bridge is adjustable. We particularly appreciate the wraparound design that ensures full protection from not only glare and rainfall but stray scraps of grit and dust, too. 

These full frames from X-TIGER are pretty chunky, but one of the few pairs that allows separate prescription lenses to be fitted. And if your vision is 20/20, the lenses included are highly protective against all UV and blue light, and include technology to optimise contrast, detail, and colour when on the road. 

A clever adjustable nose bridge will push the glasses away from the face if you need some breathing room, plus the frame material is enhanced to stay put even in ultra-sweaty conditions, which will be useful with the bigger, chunkier frame. 

Probably the pair that look the least like cycling glasses and the most like a regular pair of sunnies, these are another great option for the budget-conscious. The lenses are not hydrophobic so they're best used only for sunny or dry days.

Even with the half frames and extra nose and sleeve padding, they're extremely lightweight polycarbonate, and boast 100% UVA and UVB protection from the 4 interchangeable lenses. The straight-angled arms are cleverly designed to fit well beneath your helmet, too. 

Madison's half-frame glasses will satisfy those who don't need anything more than a basic pair for a daily commute or the odd weekend jaunt. They aren't adjustable and don't feature more than a basic rubber nose pad, but their minimalism is certainly reflected in the bargain price.

The 3 interchangeable lenses include a clear and dark set for night  riding and sun protection respectively, and a persimmon yellow to enhance grey and dull days. They're especially recommended for those with narrower faces as they're rather compact.
