Hercules® Rider Readers

Can't Read Your Dash While You Ride?

You shouldn’t have to pull over to check your speed. Or miss a GPS turn because the screen is a blur. Or carry two pairs of glasses every time you throw a leg over your bike.

Hercules® Rider Readers are purpose-built bifocal sunglasses for motorcycle riders. Look straight ahead—the road is crystal clear. Glance down—your gauges, GPS, and phone are sharp and readable. No swapping glasses. No squinting. No compromises.

Available in +1.5, +2.0, and +2.5 magnification.

The Problem Every Rider Over 40 Knows Too Well

One day, your arms aren’t long enough anymore.

Your speedometer turns into a guessing game. Your GPS might as well be written in hieroglyphics. That text notification? Forget it. You’re pulling over at every gas station just to check your phone.

So you try the obvious fixes. You shove reading glasses under your helmet. They fog up, slip around, and you look ridiculous peeling them on and off at every stop.

Or you try those generic drugstore bifocal sunglasses. They aren’t built for riding. No foam seal against the wind. No shatter protection. Flimsy frames that snap the first time you sit on them.

You need reading magnification and real riding protection in the same pair of glasses. That’s exactly what these are.

Built for the Road. Built for Your Eyes.

Hercules® Rider Readers combine the reading magnification you need with the impact protection you depend on—in one lightweight, foam-padded frame that was designed from the ground up for motorcycle riders.

How They Work

The bifocal reading zone sits at the bottom of each lens—right where you naturally glance down at your dash, GPS, or phone. Look ahead at the road and you’re seeing through a clear, full-strength tinted lens with zero distortion. There’s no adjustment period. No learning curve. You just ride.

What Makes These Different from Drugstore Bifocals

• Shatterproof Polycarbonate Lenses (ANSI Z87.1 rated) — Flying gravel, road debris, bugs at 70mph. These lenses take it and don’t crack.
• Foam Padding Seal — Blocks wind, dust, and grit from hitting your eyes. Feels like wearing nothing.
• UV400 Protection — Full UV block. All-day riding without eye fatigue.
• Scratch-Resistant Coating — Because your sunglasses live in your saddlebag, not a velvet case.
• Rubber Ear Pads + Adjustable Nose Pad — Stay locked to your face inside a helmet. No slipping.
• Weighs Just 1 Ounce — You genuinely forget they’re on. Riders tell us this every single week.

The Last Pair You'll Need to Buy

Step on them, Sit on them. Run them over. These sunglasses will spring right back into shape and be ready to wear no matter how much abuse you want to give them.

Let’s be honest—bikers are hard on sunglasses. They get sat on, dropped in parking lots, kicked off nightstands, and shoved into jacket pockets with your keys.

Hercules frames are made from flexible nylon that bends and snaps back into shape. The lenses are shatterproof polycarbonate—the same material used in ballistic-rated safety glasses. Drop them. Sit on them. Run them over with your bike. They come back for more.

This isn’t marketing hype. There’s a video floating around of a guy running these over with a forklift, picking them up, and putting them right back on his face. That’s Hercules.
