Trail running sunglasses buyer’s guide:
Whether you run on plains or mountains, it is essential to wear a good pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun and see the terrain clearly. Trail running sunglasses must meet the following criteria:
How much should trail running sunglasses weigh?
This is one of the most important elements to consider. To run long distances, it is important to rely on sunglasses that are so lightweight you’ll forget you’re wearing them. It makes sense to prefer models with organic or polycarbonate lenses for their unmatched lightness. The latest generation of sunglasses can weigh as little as 20 grams.
The specific features of trail running glasses
Trail running glasses have specific features to meet the demands of running on rugged terrain. First of all, they should offer excellent protection against UV light, dirt and debris. High quality lenses are critical, to guarantee clear and distortion-free vision, even when light conditions are changing. Lightweight and comfortable frames are also important to prevent pressure spots and chaffing on long runs. In addition, good stability is essential to keep the sunglasses in place despite sudden movements and shocks. Finally, ventilation is another aspect to consider, as it plays a role in preventing fogging and ensuring optimal vision throughout your run.
Choosing trail running sunglasses with good grip!
Yes, even if they’re the lightest available, they need perfect grip to remain in place even with repeated impacts. Good trail running sunglasses feature ergonomic anti-slip nose pads and temples that provide maximum traction. This guarantees your trail running glasses stay in place whether you’re overheating in the climbs or flying down the descents.
Which lens to choose for your trail running sunglasses?
Clear and precise vision is the guaranty of seeing the terrain and avoiding it traps. Here's why big names of the outdoor industry such as Julbo have invested in photochromic lenses that darkens and lightens automatically according to ambient light. This allows you to keep the same pair of glasses from morning till evening and from the bottom of the valley to the highest snow-covered peaks.
Choose anti-fog coated lenses
When you get a bit hot during high-output activities, nothing feels worse than losing your vision because of fogging. To avoid this nightmare, optics brands now offer anti-fog coatings on the inside of the lens. This very efficient system offers true comfort. You can find our complete collection on our sunglasses page.
The advantages of photochromic sunglasses for running
Photochromic sunglasses are a true asset for runners, especially in terms of adaptability and visual comfort. These lenses are designed to automatically adapt to changes in light conditions. Getting darker when the light is brighter and lighter when it is dimmer. This provides optimal vision to runners, no matter the weather conditions. They are also more functional, eliminating the need to change your lenses or glasses according to the light level. Photochromic sunglasses are ideal for runners looking for versatile models, ready for any situation.
