How to Select Running Sunglasses Australia from Running Store


The most crucial thing to look for when purchasing a pair of sunglasses is that they provide complete UVB and UVA radiation protection. You should also think about fit, comfort, anti-fogging, and lens tint if you plan to wear sunglasses for extended periods of time while running or walking and working up a sweat.

These days, specialised running glasses come with non-slip nose pads, incredibly lightweight flexible frames, lenses, and clever designs to ensure airflow and prevent fogging. Here are some tips to help you choose the right running store for your sunglasses.

6 Things to Consider Before Selecting Running Sunglasses

Running outdoors on a sunny day is a great way to get some fresh air and take in the scenery, but you should normally wear sunglasses to safeguard your eyes. Of course, conventional sunglasses aren't designed to remain firmly on your face when you run. Fortunately, running sunglasses Australia exists. Simply choose the ones that would best match your demands.

  1. UV Protection

You should get sunglasses that offer UVB and UVA protection. Sunburn of the eyes can be brought on by excessive UV exposure over a brief period of time. Make sure that your sunglasses give complete protection because prolonged exposure to UV radiation might result in irreparable harm. This is crucial because the sun will bounce off the ground almost as much as if it were snowfall in sandy areas or on salt flats.

  1. Reduce Fogging

When your sunglasses fog up, they become all steamy. This happens when the temperature of the air outside meets the layer of evaporated sweat close to your body, producing moisture to condense on your lenses. It seems to be at its worst on cool, rainy days.

The fastest way for sunglasses to fog up is if they tightly fit your face and have minimal airflow. Therefore, if fogging is a problem for you, try to purchase a pair of sunglasses that rest slightly off your face and promote circulation.

  1. Colour of Lens

Consider buying sunglasses with changeable or polarised lenses if you want to run in a variety of weather situations to meet all of your needs.

  • Gold Tints

Low-light situations benefit from gold, yellow, and amber colours because they block off blue light and make it simpler to perceive the terrain's contours and edges.

  • Dark Tints

The colours grey, green, blue, and brown are appropriate for sunny days and are most calming to the eyes in strong light.

  • Photochromic and Polarised

They reduce the glare from the sun's reflection off salt flats and sand, making them excellent for extremely bright circumstances. Their base hue is typically darker than conventional lenses, so as the day wears on and the shadows lengthen, they could become too dark to wear.

  • Clear

This is used to stop your eyes from tearing while running in low light or in windy circumstances.

  • Mirrored Lens

By reflecting sunlight that has bounced off the ground, this improves the performance of a tinted lens by lowering glare.

  1. Materials

You should make sure that your lenses are constructed from high-quality material, such as polycarbonate, rather than conventional glass or plastic, if you plan to engage in physical activity. Also, take into account the materials the frames are composed of; the more elastic they are, the less probable it is that they would shatter when dropped or crammed inside a race backpack that is completely loaded.

  1. Ventilation

To keep your sunglasses from fogging up when it's humid and raining or when you'll be working up a sweat, consider frames with sufficient ventilation. Try anti-fog coatings and choose for a pair of frames that keep the lenses away from the face to allow for free airflow.

  1. Fit

Think about the fit and ease of use of your sunglasses as well. You want anything light, possibly with rubbery nosepieces and possibly flexible earpieces to maintain the glasses when running.

Take Away

When selecting the best running sunglasses to suit your needs, you must take into account a number of variables. First, consider the frame's design. You need a pair that is tight to your face but not oppressively so. The ideal pair will fit your head and provide a full frame of protection. Consider your UV protection next.

Although you should look for 100% protection, the finest sunglasses have a minimum UVB and UVA protection rating of 98%. A wraparound design is more inclined to keep you at ease on brighter days if you are more susceptible to sunlight than a typical runner.

Find a pair that has the extras you want as well. Many sunglasses have characteristics like being scratch- and fog-resistant. Some even feature interchangeable lenses so you may pick what you need on a daily basis.

Before choosing a pair, keep in mind to search about and compare prices, features, and reviews. Look at a reliable running store - Pure Running for selection of well-liked running sunglasses Australia.
