Having good equipment is key if you want to improve performance and avoid injuries. Just as a good paddle or the use of technical clothing makes a difference, quality padel glasses should be a mandatory accessory in your training sessions and padel matches. All the advantages we are going to list are offered by our BIKKOA padel glasses.
Eye safety is one of the main reasons to play with padel glasses. Every day, dozens of serious injuries occur due to strong impacts from ball hits, unwanted blows, and sand entering the cornea. Therefore, using protective glasses during your training sessions and padel matches is essential to continue enjoying your favorite sport with confidence.
Eye protection against UV rays is another reason why it is essential to play with glasses that protect your eye health. Surely in one of your matches a ray of sun has dazzled you and you have hit the ball directly against the glass wall. With appropriate glasses, you would not have had this problem, so protecting your eyes with lenses with 100% UV protection will help you finish your points and be more decisive in your game. For the indoor paddle court, we recommend the use of protective glasses with clear lenses, perfect for protecting your eyes, or photochromic lenses, suitable for both indoor (helping to reduce reflections from the spotlights on the glass walls of the court) and outdoor, whose lenses will gradually darken in the presence of sunlight.
The demands of padel require that the glasses you choose have the best features and materials; the speed at which you move on the court and the force you apply with each hit mean that not just any sports glasses will do for playing padel. We list below the main characteristics you should consider when choosing your padel glasses.
It is essential that you choose glasses that are lightweight, as they are an item you must use in all your training sessions and matches. Choose lightweight glasses that do not cause discomfort or dig into any part of your face; feel like you are not wearing them when you play padel. The frame should be flexible; choose padel glasses with a wraparound frame that adapts to the shape of your face and whose nose bridge is adjustable and rubberized for greater comfort. Make sure the temples have rubber inserts that provide a perfect and comfortable grip and prevent slipping caused by sweat.
It is important that the glasses you choose have been designed to withstand high-speed impacts and have passed tests confirming this. It is essential that your glasses absorb vibrations during your movements and hits on the padel court, avoiding any kind of rebound.
You have surely experienced how annoying it is when your glasses' lenses fog up due to sweat and hinder your vision. To avoid this, you should choose lenses with anti-fog treatment. If you also want the glasses to last for years, make sure the lenses have anti-scratch treatment, as it is common that with the sports use you will give them, they suffer impacts that could damage them.
Avoid glare from direct and indirect sunlight and distractions while you play your most demanding padel match. It is essential that padel glasses have 100% UV protection against solar rays.
The lenses of your glasses must be of the highest quality; only then will they enhance details on the court for quick and effective decision-making. In the case of GOAT padel glasses with blue lenses, the perception of the ball on the court improves thanks to the intensification of contrasting colors of the blue carpet of the padel court. Their lenses also help to expand the depth field and both horizontal and peripheral vision, perfecting the sharpness of your vision.
