Learn about running sunglasses
Here are some commonly asked questions:
What are running glasses?
Running glasses are specially designed eyewear that protect your eyes from UV rays, wind, debris, and glare while enhancing comfort and visibility during outdoor runs.
Why do runners need special glasses?
Runners need specialized glasses to shield their eyes from harmful UV rays, wind, and dust, while also improving visibility in various weather conditions. This helps reduce distractions and enhances performance.
What features should I look for in running glasses?
Look for lightweight frames, UV protection, anti-fog lenses, polarized or non-polarized options, and a secure fit that stays in place during movement.
Do running glasses help with performance?
Yes, running glasses help improve performance by reducing eye fatigue, protecting your eyes from environmental elements, and providing better clarity, so you can stay focused on your run.
Why are your glasses non-polarized?
Non-polarized lenses can be better for running because they provide consistent visibility across different terrains. Polarized lenses, while great for reducing glare, can sometimes make it harder to read screens or see subtle changes in terrain, which may be important for trail runners or those running in varying light conditions.
Can running glasses be worn in all weather conditions?
Yes, some of our running glasses (Aero Rise and Gravel Phantom) come with interchangeable lenses or tints that can adapt to different weather conditions, from bright sunlight to overcast or low-light settings. It is more common to wear low light glasses for cycling however, due to a higher risk of debris and wind in the eye.
Do your running glasses come in prescription lenses?
Only the Aero Rise frame is available with a prescription adaptor.
How should running glasses fit?
Running glasses should fit securely, with rubberized nose pads and temple grips to ensure they don’t slip, even during intense movement.
Can I use regular sunglasses for running?
While regular sunglasses may offer UV protection, running glasses are designed for active use, with features like anti-fog coating, wrap-around frames, and a secure fit that traditional sunglasses may lack.
How do I clean and maintain my running glasses?
Clean your running glasses with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner to avoid scratching. Store them in a protective case when not in use, and avoid exposing them to extreme heat or direct sunlight.
