Quick answer

For the widest coverage, choose the Dilan Rectangle Acetate Prescription Cycling Sport Sunglasses Kit. If you need a compact frame with short temples, the Anders Rectangle Acetate Basketball Glasses offer a snug fit.

Key differences in frame dimensions

The main trade-off among these models is frame width and temple length. Dilan has a 151 mm frame width with 132 mm temples, while Anders is narrower at 138 mm but has unusually long 383 mm temples. Zamir and Zev sit in between: Zamir at 154 mm frame with 131 mm temples, Zev at 152 mm frame with 332 mm temples.

Lens width also varies: Dilan offers the widest lens at 139 mm, while Zamir, Anders, and Zev have narrower lenses (51 mm, 54 mm, and 54 mm respectively). This affects peripheral coverage and how the sunglasses fit with different helmet styles.

Prescription compatibility

All models support a maximum pupillary distance (PD) of 80 mm, making them suitable for most prescription needs. However, the lens height differs: Dilan has 50 mm, Zamir 40 mm, Anders 32 mm, and Zev 40 mm. Taller lenses accommodate progressive or bifocal prescriptions better. Anders' 32 mm lens height may limit multifocal options.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Dilan: wide coverage: Best for cyclists who want maximum peripheral vision and a standard temple length. The 139 mm lens is the largest, but the frame is not the widest.
  • Zamir: compact lens, wide frame: Good for a sporty, low-profile look. The 51 mm lens is small, so it may not suit those who need progressive lenses. Check lens height if you need multifocal prescriptions.
  • Anders: narrow frame, long temples: Ideal for small faces or helmet compatibility. The 32 mm lens height limits bifocal/progressive options. Measure your temple length before ordering.
  • Zev: medium frame, extended temples: A versatile middle ground with 54 mm lens and 332 mm temples. Works for average to larger heads. Good all-rounder if you're unsure about fit.
