When you are a serious cyclist, you need sunglasses that are more protective than any pair that you can grab off of the shelf at the nearest gas station. High-performance sunglasses are made with wide lenses to cover your entire field of vision while filtering out certain wavelengths of sunlight. The hours between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. are the strongest for the sun's rays, and as that is peak cycling hour, you need to make sure your eyes are properly protected. These Oakley sunglasses lenses and frames are at the top of the sunglasses industry, made for athletes who regularly face intense sunlight.

1. Oakley Flight Jacket
   
   The bold Oakley Flight Jacket sunglasses are designed with the purpose of helping cyclists adjust for foggy conditions at a moment's notice. The frames have a moveable nosepiece that can be flipped down to lift the glasses off of the nose and improve airflow when the lenses start to fog up. The nosepiece can then be pulled back down to keep bugs out. There is no frame on top of the lens so that when you are in a head-down position, your field of vision is increased.
   
   
2. Oakley Oil Rig
   
   A simpler, more straightforward design, these sunglasses are lightweight and wrap around your head for a sturdy fit. The Oakley Oil Rig lenses improve your vision's clarity, refraction, and UV protection. While standard lenses can magnify images, the Oakley Oil Rig lenses give a less distorted view across your entire field of vision and offer a true visual image, as if you weren't wearing sunglasses at all. The Oakley Oil Rig Lenses also block 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays and harmful blue light.
   
   
3. Oakley Flak 2.0 XL
   
   With more wraparound coverage and an improved field of vision that provides better upper peripheral views, this is a new model of the popular Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ lenses. The upgraded Oakley Flak 2.0 XL sunglasses have amazing durability and Unobtainium ear socks and nose pads that increase their anti-slip grip, making them perfect for cycling. Their protective lenses can also be made in your prescription.
   
   
4. Oakley Racing Jacket
   
   Oakley Racing Jacket sunglasses are a classic choice for cyclists, with their large, round lenses and wraparound frames. As you cycle down roads and paths, the grip-friendly nose pads and temple arms keep the glasses perfectly aligned on your face. Oakley Racing Jacket lenses are vented and can easily be changed out, allowing you to fight foggy conditions when needed and have full protection when you're free from fog.
   
   

Just as you keep your bike in tip-top shape for cycling, you'll have to keep your sunglasses in optimal condition as well. If the lenses ever get scratched or start to show wear, be sure to get proper Oakley replacement lenses right away so that you can keep on cycling.
