BEST TYPES OF SUNGLASSES FOR EVERY SUMMER ACTIVITY

It’s no secret: sunglasses make it easier to see on a sunny day, which also make spending time outdoors more enjoyable. More than a fashion statement, the activities you do outside will determine the types of sunglasses you should wear.

Get more from your outdoor experience — here’s a closer look at the best types of sunglasses to wear this summer based on your favorite pastimes:

Best Types of Sunglasses for Cycling

Given the constant movement when cycling, you need lightweight sunglasses that will move with you without slipping or falling.  Cyclists should look for poly-carbonate lenses that are lightweight, shatter resistant, and will reduce or eliminate glare.

Visibility is also a major concern for cyclists, as the bright sunshine can create glares on pathways and make it hard to see oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and traffic lights.  Colored mirror-coated sunglasses are excellent for bright, sunny days, especially if they have built-in UV400 protection.

Many cyclists wear wrap around-style sunglasses to keep their shades in place when on the move.  And in the event your sunglasses do fall off, it’s best to invest in frames and lenses that are impact-resistant.  In addition, traveling 10 miles per hour on a bike could build up a toll on any sunglasses, but you can limit the chance by checking out the below pairs of shades that satisfies all needs as a cyclist.

 

Best Types of Sunglasses for Camping and Backpacking

When you’re out in the wilderness, your eyes will definitely need extra protection – both from the surrounding elements and the sun.

Camping and backpacking expose you to all kinds of dirt, debris, and bugs that you’ll want to keep out of your eyes.  Also, If you’re planning on being outside for extended periods of time, your eyes are exposed to a lot of harmful UV rays, and without sunglasses, these rays can damage your vision.  To combat this issue, opt for a pair of poly-carbonate sunglasses that block UVA and UVB rays and reduce glare.

Furthermore, if you are out in the back country, your sunglasses should be rugged, durable, and equipped to handle dust, debris, and shock.  You will want a pair of shades that are scratch and shock resistant, and that fit to your face snugly, making sure no debris can make their way around the glasses and into your eyes.

Wraparound lenses are an excellent solution, as they block your eyes from all elements and protects against harmful UV rays.

 

Best Types of Sunglasses for Sunbathing

The American Optometric Association says you should always put on sunglasses during the daylight hours because they protect your eyes against the sun's UV rays, which could otherwise lead to cataracts.

If you’re sunbathing, you’re directly facing the sun.  Even with your eyes closed, the sun’s powerful rays can still deal a fair amount of damage to your eyes, at least until you flip to your stomach.

Plus, when you do open your eyes, you will need to adjust to the surrounding brightness and may be unable to see well for several minutes.

Any type of sunglasses will work for sunbathing, as long as they have UV400 protection.  On a side note, darker lenses and colored mirror-coated lenses tend to work better for brighter conditions.

 

Best Types of Sunglasses for Hiking

Are you looking for the best hiking sunglasses? The needs for hikers are similar to the needs of backpackers and campers. When you’re hiking, you’ll usually be outdoors for hours at a time, which means you need more than casual protection for your eyes.

Hiking on woodland trails will expose you to dirt and debris that you won’t want obstructing your vision, so wraparound lenses work well here. In fact, wraparound frames are also helpful to avoid losing your sunglasses due to the ups and downs of the hiking trail.

UV protection is of the highest importance, given your prolonged exposure to the sun. Our TAC polarized and standard poly-carbonate lenses feature UV400 protection so you can hike worry-free.

 

Best Types of Sunglasses for Fishing

Polarized sunglasses have been very popular among people who spend a lot of time near water. And for good reason — polarized lenses block the glare from light reflecting off the surface of the water better than any other type of sunglass lenses.

The harsh glare of sunlight on water can be dangerous. It reduces visibility, plus it could damage your eyesight. Polarized lenses have a special filter that blocks this type of intense reflected light, reducing glare and discomfort. Plus, when you can see through the glare in the water, you may be able to better see where the fish are gathering.
