Baseball Sunglasses

Why They're Important

Any time you play a sport, it's important to protect your eyes from flying objects, sand, dust, etc. When you're playing in the sun, you have the added need for UV protection. Baseball sunglasses can combine both of those by using shatter-resistant or shatterproof polycarbonate lenses and 100% UVA and UVB protection.

Their wrap design not only blocks the sun's rays, but it also gives more protection from dirt that could make its way into your eyes. Since the design isn't usually bulky for baseball sunglasses, they fit well under helmets—another must have.

When you're out there on the field or up to bat, you're going to want to keep your eye on the ball. Glare makes it incredibly hard to do that! Some lenses come with a special coating on them to cut down on the glare from the sun and ensure the clearest vision you can get out there.

One more reason to wear baseball sunglasses: to look good, of course! You'll look like a pro with your special frames and lenses, no matter what you pick. Wearing baseball sunglasses to protect your eyes and assist your vision means you take the game seriously.

Homeruns in Baseball Sunglasses

• Oakley Baseball M Sunglasses are ready to help you hit that next ball out of the park. They're lightweight and fitted, plus they fit well under a baseball helmet. Lightweight polycarbonate lenses will keep your eyes safe, since polycarbonate doesn't shatter on impact—it merely cracks. As is always important, the lenses offer you 100% UV protection. Choose from lens colors in gray, polarized amber, or polarized VR28.

• Gargoyles Flip-Up Baseball Sunglasses come in medium or large sizes and are available in a tint they've determined to be best for baseball. Thanks to a spring hinge, you can be with shades or without in a matter of seconds—the tinted part flips up for lower light conditions when you don't need it. You also get 100% UVA/UVB protection with these guys. In addition to all that, you get easy-to-clean mirrored lenses that virtually never scratch, and impact-resistant lenses.

• Akadema Wrap Steel Sunglasses come with black, blue, or silver lenses and have fire-colored lenses. Those lenses are also shatterproof and efficient when it comes to blocking UV rays from your eyes. The style of the frames allows for a snug, comfortable fit that keeps the sun blocked from more than just the front—they wrap around the contours of your face to block the most sunlight possible.

• Franklin MLB Deluxe Flip-Up Sport Glasses are perfect for playing in different types of lighting. You get blue, amber, and brown lenses that you can change out as the lighting conditions change. Use the amber lenses for overcast days, the blue for sunny days, and the brown for moderate lighting conditions. These lenses, too, are shatter-resistant and offer 100% protection from UV rays. All come with black frames.

• Adidas Evil Eye A266 Sunglasses are smokin' hot. They look streamlined and come in color combinations like Burgundy/Gold, Lilac-Green/Green Mirror, and Black-Gray/Gray. The creators of these have worked with the lenses to ensure zero distortion in the vision.
