Sport Sunglasses

If you play a sport, your average pair of sunglasses just won't do. Sport sunglasses will allow you to enjoy your activity without worrying about your glasses falling off or getting scratched and broken. There are a number of sports sunglasses styles to choose from, and depending on your activity, you can find the ones that work for you.

Sport Goggles

Sport goggles are used for more aggressive sports, where there is a greater chance of injury to the eye. If you're playing squash or rugby, wearing sports goggles will decrease your chances of your sunglasses getting hit or broken by another player or the ball. Sport goggles come in many different colors and tints, and have a comfortable strap that adjusts to fit your head.

Sport sunglasses are usually made of polycarbonate rather than plastic, so they are long lasting and durable. You can find wraparound sports sunglasses, which will also protect your eyes from dust and dirt getting into your eyes. They will usually come with 100% UV protection, as you'll often be using them in the height of summer, when UV rays are at their worst. However, many people don't realize that even on a cloudy or rainy day, UV rays are still present, so wear your sport sunglasses year round when you are doing outside activities.

Polarized Lenses

The glare from snow or water increases your exposure to UV rays. Polarized lenses will eliminate the glare you'll see while sailing or skiing. These lenses are extremely popular with boaters, who are often out on the water for hours at a time. A lot of skiers buy polarized lenses that are tinted amber or yellow, as this helps you see the contrast between the snow and other objects. If you're wearing polarized sport sunglasses, remember that you may not be able to see LCD screens very well.

Fog Resistant

For winter sports lovers, fog resistant sport sunglasses are a must have. It's annoying to be skiing or snowboarding with your sunglasses constantly fogging up and dripping with water. Fog resistant sunglasses will stop this from happening, so you can clearly see the ski hill under any conditions.

Whether you play golf or baseball, sport sunglasses can provide you with good eye protection as well as blocking out harmful UV rays. It's possible to find stylish shades that will allow you to play any sport comfortably and without risking injury to your eye.
