The more you find yourself in conditions of low sunlight (overcast), the more you can choose a lens with a category close to 0. The more sunny the weather, the more you should choose a lens with a high category, such as 3 or 4. It should be noted that category 4 is to be used in sunny mountain conditions or on the water when the sun's reflection on the water is dazzling. It is important to note that it is not advisable to ride with category 4 lenses. In general, category 3 lenses often provide good protection for your eyes in bright sunlight.
