Polarized Sport Sunglasses

From LoveToKnow Sunglasses

Polarized sport sunglasses are a must for being at the top of your game. They'll block the sun and help you keep your vision sharp and as unaffected by glare as possible. So, where do you find these indispensable sunglasses? Let's find out!

Sunglasses Giant

The Sunglasses Giant website has name brand polarized sport sunglasses. Their home page offers up names like Oakley, Bolle, Smith, Ray-Ban, Maui Jim, and more. You'll love the Smith Factor Max sunglasses that come in your choice of six frame colors with three to four interchangeable lens colors.

There's also the futuristic Dragon Box sunglasses style. In addition to being polarized, they have a wraparound shape for maximum glare prevention.

The Nike Automanic sunglasses have a similar shape to aviator sunglasses, only a bit rounder. The only color combination that's polarized in this style is a gray frame with white accents, and that has gray max polarized lenses.

Not all the lenses in Sunglasses Giant's sports section are polarized, but all of the polarized lenses are not obviously advertised, either. If you see a pair you like but they're not advertised as having polarized lenses, check the drop-down list.

SOS Eyewear

SOS Eyewear offers great deals on polarized sunglasses. Consider the Dive Optics Aruba style. They're only $50.00 and offer a variety of colors in the lenses, set in a shiny black frame.

Also, SOS offers a Polar Max line that contains West Beach and South Beach styles. Each of them costs $50.00. They come with ultra light frames that use rubber inside to ensure your comfort, 100% UV protection, and scratch resistant lenses.

Changeable Lenses for Polarized Sport Sunglasses

Play more than one sport? You probably do. Chances are, you don't need the same color of lenses for every sport you enjoy. The good news is, there are polarized sport sunglasses out there with changeable lenses, so you only have to buy one frame and the lenses in the colors you need. Pop one color out and snap the new one in—easy as that.

Style Options

If you're looking for a plethora of options, try Technical Gear. You can get sunglasses with interchangeable lenses from some of the hottest name brands out there—and you can see them all in one spot. Who needs to surf when one site can show you your options?

Optics Planet has the Bolle Parole sunglasses up for grabs. They're just $49.95 and you can view a diagram of how to swap out the lenses on the site before you buy.

H3O Polarized has a pair with three sets of polarized lenses. Choose from the Storm Anglers, Surge Anglers, and Tsunami Anglers packages. The difference is in the shape of the frame. All come with polarized gray, amber, and twilight yellow lenses.

Which Color for Your Sport?

Skiing: Vermillion/rose (foggy, gray weather), clear (at night), amber, yellow

Driving: Brown, amber, gray, or smoke

Tennis:: Teal (check out Competivision from Bolle)

Hunting: Yellow

Fishing: Vermillion/rose (low light), gray or brown (bright, daytime)

Cycling: Brown (glare), gray (general), yellow (cloudy days), clear (when it's dark or overcast but you still want to keep your peepers safe)

Selection Help: Random Color Info

True blue and purple lenses are only good for fashion. They're not going to increase the contrast of objects or improve your performance by offering sharper vision.

Don’t neglect to consider clear lenses if you participate in sports at night. You'll protect your eyes without destroying your ability to see.

Gray is the most popular lens color for everything from driving to other sports. It doesn't distort the colors of objects, but it cuts glare.

Lens Materials

If you'll be participating in a high impact sport, your best bet is a pair of polycarbonate lenses. Not getting into the high impact sports in favor of more leisurely activities like fishing? Plastic is ideal—and it's cheaper too!


Remember, sunglasses aren't just for cutting out the annoying glare while you're hitting the slopes, riding your bike, hunting, or fishing. They're for protecting your eyes from debris, branches, and UV rays.

Speaking of UV rays, make absolutely sure before purchasing your sports sunglasses that they will protect your eyes from 100% of the UV rays out there.
