Cyclist wearing pink 2nu Venti Air sunglasses on an open road for the Water Sports and Cycling sunglasses guide.

Your activity match

Ride the coast, then get on the water without compromising speed or wet-use stability.

Cycling adds wind, road glare, and GPS checks; water use adds wet hands, seawater, and reflected surfaces. Hexachroma supports screens across both, TVO Pro targets glare, and the exact FlexFoam™ option must be confirmed if flotation matters.

The four issues that matter most across your two activities

We selected two high-priority issues from each activity. Open any card to see how 2nu addresses it.

01

Glare hides changes on the water

Reflections from water, wet decks and pale sand can hide changes in distance, obstacles and surface texture.

How 2nu solves it

Choose polarized control for the conditions

TVO Pro controls strong reflected glare. Choose flagship Hexachroma when you also want more outdoor detail and better readability on phones, watches and other screens.

02

Wind and movement shift the frame

Speed, shoulder checks and rough surfaces can make a loose frame move. Over-tightening it can create pressure instead of stable support.

How 2nu solves it

Choose stability for the exact frame

Use the product callout’s frame-coverage and head-fit information to compare the complete frame. FlexFoam™ models can be adjusted by hand, then worn for about five minutes while FlexLock™ spreads support around the head. Venti Air prioritises an ultra-light open sport-frame fit.

03

Wet movement can shift the frame

Sweat, spray and repeated movement can make sunglasses shift. Simply tightening the temples can create pressure at the nose and sides of the head.

How 2nu solves it

Adjust first, then let the fit settle

Adjust FlexFoam™ by hand to suit your head, then wear it for about five minutes so the fit can stabilise. Every FlexFoam™ frame includes FlexLock™; its wraparound design distributes pressure around the head instead of relying on one tight contact point.

04

Bright tarmac turns into deep shade

An open road can move quickly into tree cover, underpasses or cloud. A very dark lens can hide road texture when light drops.

How 2nu solves it

Balance road glare with shadow detail

Choose for the light pattern of your usual route, not simply the darkest tint. TVO Pro prioritizes polarized glare control; Hexachroma adds flagship outdoor detail when changing surfaces and light need to remain easier to read.

Water Sports

Strong-light control with secure, water-ready performance.

Cycling

Questions before you choose

Use these answers to compare the lens, frame and conditions that matter across your selected activities.

01Should I choose Hexachroma or TVO Pro for watersports?

Both are polarized. TVO Pro is focused on controlling strong reflected glare. Choose flagship Hexachroma when you also want higher contrast, more outdoor detail and better screen readability. Choose for the conditions rather than simply selecting the darkest lens.

02How dark should cycling sunglasses be when the road moves between sun and shade?

Choose balanced light control for routes that move between open sun, tree cover, tunnels and cloud. A deeper configuration suits sustained exposed glare, but it should not remove the road texture and obstacle detail you need when the route turns darker.

03Does every FlexFoam™ pair float in seawater? What about Prescription versions?

FlexFoam™ uses a non-hollow floating frame material. With non-prescription lenses, the complete pair floats in seawater. Prescription lenses are heavier, so Prescription versions do not float. For the strongest flotation performance, choose eyewear carrying the FlowMax label.

04How do I compare cycling stability and frame coverage?

Use the frame-coverage and head-fit information in each product callout. On a FlexFoam™ frame, adjust it by hand first, then wear it for about five minutes so FlexLock™ can distribute support around the head. Venti Air prioritises an ultra-light open sport-frame fit.
