TRIATHLON GLASSES

Triathlon glasses by DEMON are meticulously designed and crafted to provide athletes with maximum eye protection and unparalleled comfort, enhancing their performance.

TRIATHLON:

Triathlon has been an Olympic discipline for both men and women since 2000, involving a combination of three distinct disciplines completed sequentially:

• Swimming: 1500 m
• Cycling: 40 km
• Running: 10 km

The most arduous triathlon race, known as the "HOMBRE DE HIERRO," challenges athletes with the following distances:

• Swimming: 3800 m
• Cycling: 180 km
• Running: 42.195 km

Regarded as one of the toughest endurance challenges globally, this race demands rigorous training and extraordinary endurance to effectively combat fatigue.

SWIM:

In triathlon competitions, swimmers have a range of goggles to choose from, each offering unique benefits in the water. Athletes often take the opportunity to test different goggles during training sessions to find the most comfortable and high-performing option for their needs.

Goggles come in various types, including those with mirrored lenses, which are ideal for sunny days when glare is intense, and non-mirrored ones suitable for overcast weather or low-light conditions. Additionally, essential features such as rubberized components and treatments on the internal surface of the lens, like anti-fog treatment, contribute to the overall comfort and performance of the goggles. These features ensure clear vision and prevent fogging, allowing athletes to maintain focus throughout their swim.

CYCLING:

Cycling serves as the intermediate discipline in a triathlon race. Depending on the specific event, athletes will need to cycle a distance ranging from a minimum of 10 km to a maximum of 180 km.

RUNNING:

Running constitutes the final leg of a triathlon race. The distance covered varies significantly, ranging from a minimum of 2.5 km for the "Supersprint" category to 42.195 km for the Ironman race.

What are the ideal glasses to best protect my eyes?

During the cycling segment of a race, athletes have distinct needs to ensure optimal eye protection while enhancing performance:

• A comfortable and lightweight frame for prolonged wear
• Lenses with strong light protection
• Maximum protection from air, dust, and insects
• Ventilated lenses to prevent fogging
• Stability of glasses on the face

Triathlon glasses can be broadly categorized into two main types:

Single Lens Mask Glasses:

Single-lens goggle glasses are favored by triathletes for their versatility in both cycling and running, as well as for their aesthetic appeal. These glasses maintain a timeless look reminiscent of those worn by renowned cycling and running athletes, evoking the spirit of great sporting achievements.

Glasses with Separate Lenses:

Glasses with separate lenses serve as an alternative for athletes who prefer not to use the classic mask-style triathlon glasses. These separate-lens glasses offer comparable weight, light protection, airflow, and comfort to single-lens mask glasses. Additionally, they provide a different aesthetic appeal, which may be preferable for athletes during the cycling and running segments.

FINISH LINE:

Absolutely, the finish line represents the ultimate goal for a triathlete, marking the culmination of their performance. The final stretch, especially in the last 300 meters of a grueling 226 km race, can evoke a rollercoaster of emotions—from the elation of achieving the goal to a tinge of sadness in realizing that the challenging journey has come to an end. Yet, as one race concludes, the focus shifts to replenishing energy and setting sights on the next endeavor. It's a cycle of continuous improvement and dedication in the world of triathlon.
