To fully enjoy riding your motorcycle along the open road ahead you need to be in full control of it.  A major factor in managing your ride is the constant taking in of information from the environment you’re riding amidst and forward to. Constant scanning, sighting and interpreting details as you ride along ensure your safety and better equip  you in managing your motorcycle and its manoeuvres. Sighting such risks as a pothole ahead, sharp corner coming up, or a deep puddle is key to your ride management. But when the sun is high, rising or setting, it can change how things appear on the road.   Even “dead ground” can escape from your detection; camouflaged beyond vision. Due to these factors, good quality eyewear, not only for protection, but optimal vision is vital. The Liberty Sport Glide sunglasses do just that. In fact their Ultimate Driver polycarbonate premium performance quality ‘illuminates’ or highlights objects for better clarity.

Often I ride with a tinted visor in some of my helmets. However, I still tend to ride mostly with a clear visor, for convenience –  so that means sun/glare protective eyewear is a must. My earlier review on the Chopper had me convinced I couldn’t see the road better with these quality shades. But then, the GLIDE with their Ultimate Driver polycarbonate premium performance lenses, gave me even more clarity to the road. Even when under an overcast sky the road, traffic and objects around it were well lit well seen.

The lenses, even with what appears to be an ultra-light tinting (soft amber accenting the tortoise finish frame enhanced inside with a rim of silver), filtered out the UVA/B rays.
There’s no glare even when peering directly up at the sky. And the best part too was the balance of object and background brightness.
