So you’ve been eyeing that new pair of sunglasses eh? Are they sports sunglasses? How do you choose the best pair for you?
Sports sunglasses differ from regular sunglasses and may have the following features designed to help with certain sporting activies:
- Polarized lenses
- Shatterproof or impact resistant lenses
- Padded nosepiece
- Straps
- Special venting
- Blinders
The type of sport sunglasses you choose really depends on what type of activity you will be involved in. You should try on different pairs at a local store to see what is comfortable.
You should stay away from the ‘bargain’ type sunglasses because often the construction is poor and the UV protection may not be what is advertised. The old saying of you get what you pay for definitely applies to sunglasses for sports use.
Once you know the style you like the best you can find the best deal on sports sunglasses from an online store. If a prescription is necessary you can get these online as well or from your local eyewear store.
