Good cycling glasses help maintain clear vision and protect your eyes during rides as conditions change: low-angle sunlight, rides through woodland, wet roads, wind and spray.
Mavic has prioritised: comfort and fit, ventilation and anti-fog, lens coverage and field of vision.
The Mavic MVS range addresses these points with two families:
- Shield (very wide field of vision)
- Aeroframe (3D coverage and controlled ventilation).
Lens categories: choosing the right light, maintaining the right contrasts
The first choice is the lens. Lenses that are too dark in the undergrowth cause eye strain and slow down your ability to read the terrain; lenses that are too light in direct sunlight force you to squint. Mavic offers categories tailored to specific uses:
- CAT.0 clear for night-time or rain,
- CAT.2 and CAT.3 for daylight,
- CAT.1–3 photochromic lenses that adjust their tint according to light levels.
CAT.1–3 photochromic lenses: one pair from morning to night
Photochromic lenses are particularly useful if you cycle in variable conditions: early starts, forest sections, cloud, sunshine. On photochromic versions, the lenses change from CAT.1 to CAT.3 and cover a wide range of light transmission.
Result : you maintain clear contrast without changing lenses.
Oleophobic coating and UV protection: clearer vision, easier cleaning
On the road, the lenses collect dust, sweat and sometimes splashes. An oleophobic coating reduces the adhesion of dirt and makes cleaning easier.
All MVS lenses offer 100% UV protection, an essential feature for long rides, especially at high altitudes or on very bright roads
Shield or Aeroframe model?
Shield: open field of vision, unobstructed peripheral vision
The half-frame design and lack of a lower rim clear the view, and the cylindrical lens improves peripheral vision.
Aeroframe: 3D coverage, integrated ventilation and helmet compatibility
Features a spherical lens offering extensive coverage, with two vents designed to manage airflow and reduce fogging
Protective case: prevent micro-scratches in everyday use
Lenses rarely get scratched whilst cycling, but often do so in a bag or pocket. A dedicated semi-rigid case allows you to transport and store your glasses with greater peace of mind, especially if you cycle frequently.
Tips for choosing your cycling glasses:
• If you often cycle in bright sunlight: opt for CAT.3 lenses.
• If you cycle in mixed conditions (sun/clouds/woodland): CAT.1–3 photochromic lenses mean you won’t need to change your glasses.
• If you cycle early in the morning, at night or in the rain: clear CAT.0 lenses improve your view of the road.
• If you’re prone to fogging: choose a model with built-in ventilation and ensure a snug fit under your helmet.
• If you want a very wide field of vision: opt for a ‘Shield’ design without a lower frame.
Questions about Mavic cycling glasses often concern: lens type, the benefits of photochromic lenses, fogging, helmet compatibility, and lens care. Here are some simple, practical answers to help you choose a pair suited to your rides.
