Sports sunglasses and their benefits: Which ones are ideal for each sport?
Sports sunglasses are an essential accessory for any outdoor sports enthusiast. They not only protect our eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays, but also improve our vision and performance during sports .
That's why we bring you this article so that you can make the best decision when choosing your sports sunglasses. Let's get started!
Choose glasses adapted to your sporting discipline
When it comes to choosing the right sunglasses for each sport, it is important to consider the specific needs of each activity .
For example, for runners and cyclists , polarized sunglasses are ideal. Polarization reduces glare caused by light reflected off surfaces such as asphalt or water. This allows for clearer, sharper vision, preventing possible accidents.
For water sports such as surfing or sailing, sports sunglasses with polarized and floating lenses are the perfect choice. These lenses not only block UV rays, but also reduce reflections from the water, allowing optimal vision even in bright conditions.
For golf lovers , photochromic sunglasses are highly recommended. These lenses automatically adapt to changes in light, meaning you won't have to worry about changing glasses in different lighting conditions. Plus, they provide clear, distortion-free vision, improving your accuracy on every shot.
Tennis and other racquet sports enthusiasts should opt for yellow lens sunglasses or orange lens sunglasses . These colors increase contrast and improve the perception of moving objects, which will allow you to react more quickly and improve your performance on the court.

This allows you to see obstacles on the road more clearly, such as stones, branches, or even other cyclists.

When choosing the best sunglasses for mountaineering, there are several important factors to consider. Firstly, you need to make sure that the glasses have high-quality lenses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. This will ensure optimal protection against the effects of the sun on your eyes.
It is essential that sunglasses are durable and impact resistant . While climbing or hiking, you may encounter loose rocks, branches, or even snow and ice. Your glasses must be able to withstand these harsh conditions without breaking or scratching easily.
When you climb at high altitudes, you are exposed to variations in the weather. That is why it is also advisable to opt for sunglasses with a wraparound frame . This provides greater side protection from wind, dust and other elements.
