Which RX Lens Should You Use for Windy Courts?
Playing on a windy court is challenging enoughādonāt let your eyewear make it worse. Whether you're at a blustery tournament or just dealing with unpredictable gusts during drills, the right prescription lens can help you maintain clarity, comfort, and control.
At Blinded Wear, weāve tested our RX frames and lenses in conditions ranging from steady breezes to full-blown crosswinds. Hereās what we recommend for wind-heavy match days.
š¬ļø Best Lens Types for Windy Conditions
- Gray Lenses: Ideal for bright, breezy conditions. They cut glare and help you track spin without squinting.
- Transitional Lenses: These adapt fast to shifting cloud cover and offer consistent visibility even when light is scattered by wind-blown dust.
- Clear Lenses: Best for shaded courts or dusk games where visibility matters more than brightness reduction.
All lenses come with 1.61 high-index optics standardāno extra charge. That means lighter feel, stronger durability, and less edge distortion during fast lateral movement.
š”ļø Bonus Feature: Wind-Resistant RX Frames
Lenses matter, but the right frame fit and seal are just as critical in wind:
- Blue Shield RX ā Angled lens design helps shield side gusts.
- Zebra II RX ā Wraps tight without fog or slip under pressure.
- Smoked Shadow RX ā Built for dusty or desert courts.
Pair any of these with our blue light, gray, or transitional lenses depending on the time of day and lighting variability.
ā Our RX Frames Built for Wind Control
These frames stay stable on windy days, especially when sweat adds another layer of distraction. No bounce, no fog, and no slippage.
š What About Dust or Debris?
Wind often means sand, pollen, or debris. Our lenses feature scratch-resistant coatings and can be upgraded with anti-dust cleaning sprays that pair well with our microfiber cases.
Lifetime protection means even if your lenses wear down over time, weāll give you 50% credit toward a replacement frame.
