Buying tips
- Match the lens to the lightDark smoke or mirrored lenses suit bright sun. For grey UK days and early mornings, a lighter or low-light lens works better, and photochromic lenses (like SunGod Iris or Nike Photochromatic) adjust automatically.
- Wraparound for cycling and speedCycling and fast running create wind and debris. Wraparound or shield lenses (Goodr VRG, SunGod Velans) give wider coverage than a classic frame.
- No bounce, no slipLook for lightweight frames with grippy nose pads and arms so they don't bounce on your nose or slide when you sweat.
- Check the UV ratingSports sunglasses should block 100% of UVA and UVB light. Look for UV400 or '100% UV protection' in the product details.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the cheapest place to buy sports sunglasses in the UK?
We compare UK retailers and show the current price for every colour on each product page, so you can see the cheapest option before you click through.
Are running sunglasses different from normal sunglasses?
Yes. Running sunglasses are lighter, grip better when you sweat and are designed not to bounce. Many also have wider lenses for better peripheral vision.
What are the best sunglasses for cycling?
Look for a wraparound or shield lens that covers your peripheral vision and keeps out wind and road spray, such as the SunGod Velans 2 or Goodr VRG.
Should I get polarised lenses for running or cycling?
Polarised lenses cut glare from wet roads and water, which many runners like. Some cyclists prefer non-polarised lenses because polarisation can make bike computer or phone screens harder to read.
What is a photochromic lens?
A photochromic lens darkens in bright light and lightens in dull light, so one pair works from early morning to midday. SunGod's Iris lenses and Nike's Photochromatic lenses work this way.
Are these sunglasses for men or women?
Most sports sunglasses are unisex and suit men and women. Check the frame size in the product details if you have a smaller or larger face.
