Sports Sunglasses

When it comes to sports, performance is the key. To perform at your best, at whatever level you participate at, when it comes to training and competing you don't want to hinder your chosen sport from bright light either in the form of direct sunlight or reflected light.

Some of the most popular sporting events where sunglasses are essential include fishing and sailing. One of the most obvious sports, or just day to day activities is of course driving.

Choose from the activities below to find the most suitable sunglasses.

Baseball Sunglasses

Baseball sunglasses can generally be recognised by their straight arms and Oakley have just the collection.

Sunglasses for Climbing

The higher you climb the thinner the air, the more UV Rays your eyes are exposed to and the intensity of glare from the climbing surface is also increased. So sunglasses are a useful tool to assist a climb. Optical clarity is essential to ensure footing does not slip or misinterpreted and a good fit means whether looking up or down your vision is at its optimum.

A slim lined fit without the bulk of goggles and just as much UV protection means sunglasses are ideal for climbing. They increase peripheral vision without minimising comfort or stability. Clear optics will also aid performance.

Sunglasses for Cricket

Most cricketers spend several hours of the day outside in the height of the summer when the sun is at its fiercest. Therefore sunglasses protecting against the suns UV rays are a necessity. Wearing sunglasses can also protect impact eye injuries, especially for higher risk fielding positions like the wicketkeeper and short leg. Impeccable lenses that optimise vision are a must; some models can even enhance red colour against a green background, making it easier to pick up the ball.

A pair of sunglasses can act as protection from UV rays and also as protection from impact. Therefore a strong pair of sunglasses that has a good, seamless fit is invaluable. If the sunglasses are light weight this can also be beneficial as during a long cricket match sunglasses that can become uncomfortable are an unwelcome distraction

Sunglasses for Cycling

When you're out on your bike, whether racing or going for a relaxing ride, your eyes are subjected to a much higher airflow than they are meant to be. Add that to sunlight and harmful UV rays and your eyes are in for strong exposure and could be damaged.

Driving Sunglasses

The name ANTI GLARE was too generic. It did not distinguish the new eyewear clearly from rival products. In 1937, the Ray-Ban trademark was registered and marketed, gracing a new model with a metal frame. The name Ray-Ban was chosen for the new product to emphasise that the eyewear could block out glare and protect the user’s eyes from the sun’s rays. The Large Metal model immediately leapt to fame with the name.

Extreme Sports Sunglasses

Extreme sports mean extreme circumstances which could mean extreme lighting conditions. Therefore it’s best to make ensure full protection and opt for a polarised lens, protecting the eyes from UV rays and eliminating glare, allowing the focus to maintain on sport, and not distorted vision.

An extreme sport doesn’t necessarily require extreme sunglasses, just a high quality lens and a comfortable fit. We have selected a range of sunglasses that do just that and offer 100% UV protection and amazing comfort and durability.

Fishing Sunglasses

The components for a successful fishing trip can often rely on your vision. If the harsh glare reflecting from the water’s surface and the intense UV rays get the better of you then your catch could be compromised. Polarised lenses will completely cut out the glare and enable you to see below the water’s surface.

Enjoying your fishing trip, whether you’re a frequent fisherman/woman or it’s your first time, requires comfort and clear vision. Sunglasses that have tough and durable frames and lenses that are preferably polarised is a great way to guarantee you vision and performance is optimised.

Golf Sunglasses

Golfers who use polarised lenses will find them extremely beneficial as the reduction in glare allows them to see clearer at a greater distance. However no matter what kind of lenses are chosen it is advisable for all golfers to choose sunglasses that do not compromise on protection from ultraviolet rays.

Being an outdoor sport, golfers can find themselves outside for lengthy periods of time and this means being exposed to UV rays so it is wise to obtain a pair of sunglasses that offer the best protection possible.

Sunglasses for Kite Surfing

Glare from the water’s surface is a massive impediment without polarised lenses. High quality lenses will also sharpen vision and improve contrasts. In addition they will protect against harmful UV rays that can be deceptively strong, especially during a long session out on the waves. A secure fit will also aid performance.

Look for sunglasses with a sports strap so you don't lose them each time you take a fall. A secure and comfortable fit will also improve protection

Motorcycle Sunglasses

A motorcycle sunglass needs to be sturdy and secure. A closely wrapped fit is imperative to ensure a grit and dust free ride, particularly when travelling at high speed. In addition to this they need to be helmet friendly as well as polarised to diminish glare from the roads surface.

A primary concern for motorcyclist is how well their sunglasses fit beneath their helmet. A comfortable and secure fit is an important factor. The sunglasses need to be durable to withstand the high speeds that motorcycles are able to reach but also need to be wrapped to offer maximised protection.

Running Sunglasses

Long or short distance, track glare is a hindrance that can be eliminated with polarised sunglasses; wind and dust can also affect a runner’s performance so sunglasses that protect against this are essential. The sunglasses also need to be lightweight, they shouldn’t be tight, but neither should they bounce so must be sturdy and secure. They also need to be fog resistant.

As a runner ill-fitting sunglasses can deplete a performance drastically. Secure fitting sunnies that wrap around the face are ideal and will optimise vision. The sunglasses also need to be lightweight and suitable for prolonged use.

Sailing Sunglasses

Sailing enthusiast will know that the sun can be deceptively strong at times and without constant protection, your eyes can be easily damaged from the harsh glare from the water. So polarised lenses are no luxury, they are a necessity. They also need to be a snug fit so whether you’re looking to shore or up the main sail your sunglasses stay secure.

When sailing, sunglasses can be subjected to a lot of spray therefore rust resistant sturdy frames are essential. With sailing sunglasses are also required from sunrise to sunset so optimum comfort is also required.

Sunglasses for Skiing

Skiing is a challenging sport where clarity of vision is required. Polarised lenses can reduce glare and the correct colour lenses can enhance contours in the snow. The Sunglasses need to be fog resistant and wrapped to protect the eyes against the wind and also to provide a secure and comfortable fit with or without a helmet.

Goggles aren’t always necessary when skiing so sunglasses are a great substitute, providing similar protection but on a smaller size scale. A close fit and sturdy frame will be the most beneficial to skiers.

Tennis Sunglasses

Eyewear for tennis must be secure and the optics must be second to none. Polarised lenses will sharpen your view and eliminate glare, facilitating your game no end. They are an invaluable tool that ensures your vision is optimised and your eyes are not only protected from UV rays but also dirt and grit that can become airborne during a match.

High intensity coupled with high speed means tennis players need to be alert and literally keeping an eye on the ball at all times; so distorted vision is not an option. A secure fit and exceptional optics are imperative and could give an advantage over an opponent whilst protecting the eyes from harmful UV rays.
