Design and functionality
Cycling glasses are designed for sports use with a focus on lightweight, ergonomic fit and safety during movement. They are designed to stay in place during activity and are often equipped with anti-fog lenses and extra robustness to withstand impacts and different weather conditions. They also provide broad UV protection, so your eyes remain protected even during prolonged and intense exposure to the sun.
Regular sunglasses are primarily aimed at everyday use and fashion. They emphasize comfort and design, but often lack the special features that may be needed for sports and physical activity. For example, they may have a less optimal fit and less resistance to wind and weather, making them less suitable for cycling.
Choice by application
If you are going on bike rides and want maximum safety and functionality, cycling glasses are recommended. However, if your main purpose is to have a stylish accessory for everyday use, regular sunglasses may be sufficient.
