We are often asked by customers about the benefits of buying sunglasses with mirror lenses.

Most mirror lenses are intended for wearing in bright, sunny conditions. Take the Vermillion Revo mirror lenses on the SKI-1 and Pro-Lite sport sunglasses, for example. The lens coating consists of thin layers of titanium and silicon oxides which are applied and calibrated with great precision, which has the following benefits:

• eliminates up to 97% of infrared rays the chief component of glare
• processes rays in the blue spectrum to enhance colour and focusing
• filters out dangerous ultraviolet radiation from the sun giving 100% protection from harmful UVA & UVB.

You will find that general vision is sharper, brighter with increased contrast between colours.The lenses are great for reducing glare in winter sports, as well as for summer sports such as cycling and sailing. Not only are they great to look through, but the Revo mirror coating looks very stylish and the lenses are made from impact resistant shatterproof polycarbonate, so you get excellent eye protection.

Mirror lenses are available on a wide range of our sport sunglasses, including these popular models:

• Dixon SKI-1
• Dixon Pro-Lite
• Dixon TAC-3 (prescription version available)
• Dixon RX Adventure (prescription version available)
• Rapid Eyewear Moritz
• Scratch Ace Golf sunglasses (prescription version available)
• Rapid Eyewear Elevate

If you are looking for good value cycling or mountain biking glasses that won’t break the bank, take a look at the Birdz Eyewear range. For under £20, the Feather 2, Hawk, and Phoenix offer a lot for your money.

Birdz Feather 2 sunglasses

Birdz Hawk

The Feather 2 and Hawk are best suited to road cycling than MTB use. They are well styled, with aerodynamic wraparound design, and come with easily interchangeable tinted lenses. The Feather 2 comes with smoke grey, yellow, and clear one-piece lenses which offer good all round visibility. With the Hawk, you get an additional lens, depending on the kit you select, which can include a polarized lens, which is good for reducing glare from surface water.

The Birdz Phoenix is a multi-function piece of sports eyewear. You can wear it as a low profile goggle with the headband and foam gasket attached and in this mode it provides a good seal around your eye sockets against wind, dust or mud and so it is suitable for mountain biking. Its aggressive sporty styling is definitely male-oriented in its appeal.

Birdz Phoenix

The Phoenix is popular also as a biking (motorcycle) goggle. It comes with 3 lenses (smoke mirrored, yellow, and clear) and all the lenses have anti-fog treatment. An optional RX insert is available to use these goggles with prescription glasses.

Whichever of these three models you choose, you can be sure of a well constructed and designed piece of eyewear that represents amazing value for money. I really don’t know how the guys over at Birdz Eyewear can produce them at this price!
