Eyewear for Sport - A Quick Guide

Choosing the right pair of sunglasses or goggles for your sporting activities is not just about looking cool (although this is an important consideration!). By choosing sunglasses with good frame design, appropriate lens material, colours (tints) and coatings, they can actually improve your visibility, comfort, safety and performance. Are you using the right sunglasses for your sport?

By clicking on the sport or activity in the drop down menu, we will provide you with a guide to selecting sunglasses and goggles for your sport. We have not focused on eye protection from UV or impact. All sports sunglasses offered on this site have 100% UV protection and incorporate virtually shatter proof lenses.  

A number of premium brands have developed their own lenses that will improve the performance characteristics of their lenses for particular sports. Once you have made your selection and picked a particular pair of sunglasses, click on the appropriate tab on the product page to review the brand’s frame and lens details for more specific information.
