Why wear trail/running sunglasses?
Wearing trail/running sunglasses offers several key advantages:
- Protects your eyes
- UV filtration
- Glare reduction
- Improved contrast and clarity
What are the key criteria for choosing trail/running sunglasses?
When choosing a pair of trail sunglasses, the primary challenge of running lies in the constant motion — the repeated small jolts at every stride — which puts real strain on how well your sunglasses stay on your face. It is therefore essential to look for a frame design that guarantees an excellent fit. At the nose, make sure the nose piece is made from a softer, more flexible material such as rubber or silicone so the whole thing grips the skin properly. For the temples, make sure the part in contact with your head is also made from rubber or silicone, which will ensure a secure fit. Running means perspiration and intense body heat. And perspiration means the risk of fogging. The solution lies in the choice of frame, which should allow good ventilation on the inside of the lenses or feature an anti-fog coating. Choose a frame that is neither too closed nor too bulky, so air can circulate freely. The best compromise is often a frame without a lower rim beneath the lenses. Race conditions can cause splashes, impacts or falls. Polycarbonate lenses provide perfect impact resistance. In terms of shape, opt for curved, wraparound sunglasses, which have the advantage of widening your field of vision at the top. Good to know: choose slim, curved temples, which are better suited to wearing with a headband or a cap.
