Best Sports Glasses for Autumn Cycling

Autumn is a fantastic season for cycling – fresh air, vibrant scenery, and often perfect temperatures. But with autumn also comes changing light, wind, and sometimes rain. The right sports glasses are essential for comfort, safety, and performance on the bike.

All ALPE Eyewear models feature the same high-quality lenses with 100% UV protection and optimal contrast.
The difference lies in design, fit, and lens colour/VLT – where the VLT value (Visible Light Transmission) indicates how much light passes through.

1. VLT – why it matters in autumn

  • Low VLT (10–20%) – darker lenses that let in less light, best for bright sun and open landscapes

  • Medium VLT (20–40%) – versatile lenses that work in both sun and clouds, perfect for autumn’s variable conditions.

  • High VLT (40%+) – lighter lenses that let in more light, ideal for dusk or overcast weather.

💡 Tip: For autumn cycling, medium VLT is often the most all-round option, since light can change quickly during a ride.
