May 2026:<\/strong> After six months of testing 51 new sunglasses and comparing them with the 81 from the summer\/fall test, we named new winners in six of the 14 categories and updated the pricing and availability for all. We named the Sierra shades by Warby Parker<\/a>, a new brand in the sport sunglasses field, as the most versatile for its blend of trail performance and street style.<\/i><\/p>\n The best thing about sports sunglasses? You can never have too many. That might seem like a dangerous invitation to shop excessively, but we like to think of it as an excuse to accessorize. Nothing completes a kit like the perfect pair of shades.<\/p>\n While it\u2019s impossible to crown just one pair of sunglasses as the best of the best, given diverse sport-specific priorities and personal preferences, we can narrow it down to top contenders for each activity. Whether your activity of choice is crushing thousands of vert on your bike, spending hours on the water, or drinking beers at the trailhead (yes, that\u2019s a sport in our book), shades that offer crystal-clear optics are a must\u2014seeing those sweeping vistas, lush green forests, and bright red desert rock in their full glory is the reason we get outside in the first place, right?<\/p>\n Our team took these shades on fishing trips, bouldering sessions, afternoon motorcycle rides, dawn patrol runs, stormy ski tours, and camping trips in the desert to find the best sunglasses for every adventure. Here are our 14 favorites.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> Polarized, in 13 color options Pros and Cons<\/strong> <\/section>\n Chances are, you\u2019ve seen Goodr\u2019s OG sunglasses on your local running trail, at the pool, or on the sidelines of your kid\u2019s soccer game. That\u2019s no surprise, given their classic frame, dozens of colorways, and a very accessible $30 price tag. Our testers also praised their light weight and the fact that they stay locked in place, even during high-impact activities like running.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t usually race in sunglasses, but I wore these in the Berlin Marathon,\u201d said tester Jacqueline de Berry. \u201cI thought for sure I would get annoyed by them toward the end of the race and want to toss them away\u2014and I wouldn\u2019t even have minded due to how affordable they are. But they were so comfortable I wore them to the finish, and they helped me score a new PR [personal record].\u201d Another tester logged over 1,000 miles in the OGs and recommended them specifically for squintingly sunny weather. \u201cThey can affect your depth perception in the shade, so I only wear them on sunny, non-technical trails,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n Sure, they\u2019re not as teched out as the other sports sunglasses we tested, but they\u2019re incredibly solid all around. If you\u2019re someone with an unfortunate reputation for losing every pair of sunglasses you\u2019ve ever owned (relatable), the OG Goodrs are worth buying in bulk.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> ChromaPop, comes in six colors Pros and Cons<\/strong> <\/section>\n Zippy and lightweight, the Smith Defy sunglasses had us feeling fast and smooth on trail runs and city jogs. We loved the clarity of the ChromaPop lenses, which feature a subtle curve that wraps around the face for a sleek fit. \u201cThey feel so light on my face, I honestly forgot I was wearing sunglasses,\u201d one tester reported after a long run at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, WY. The flexible frame, combined with the grippy nose and temple pads, make the Defy shades both secure and durable, trustworthy on bumpy rides and rocky trail runs.<\/p>\n Testers agreed these were also great candidates for ski touring and mountain biking, though a few reported that the coverage wasn\u2019t quite enough for clocking high speeds on the road bike. \u201cIf I hit more than 15 mph, my eyes started to water from all the airflow,\u201d one tester reported. We never maxed out the coverage speed on foot, however.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> Polarized Pros and Cons<\/strong> <\/section>\n Cat-eye sunglasses built for the mountains? Warby Parker has been a household name in the prescription eyewear world for some time, and they\u2019ve just stepped into the world of sport shades. Judging by early feedback from testers, they\u2019ve made quite a splash. We\u2019ve crowned the Warby Parker Sierra sunglasses as the most versatile of the bunch, winning us over for performance on the trail and style at the bar. \u201cI never thought I could look this good while sweating my butt off,\u201d said one tester.<\/p>\n Soft rubber temple and nose pads kept the Sierras firmly on our faces while we cruised along bike paths, hiked rocky trails in the Cascades, and even bounced on a neighbor\u2019s trampoline (confirmed: there is an age limit for trampolines). The Italian-made nylon frames are exceptionally light\u2014meaning it\u2019s easy to stash them in the pocket of a windshell and forget they are there\u2014but durable: they were no worse for wear even after accidentally smushing them in our backpack.<\/p>\n While the Sierras don\u2019t offer full wrap-around coverage (not the best choice for mega fast road rides), we found the field of view impressive. We would have guessed the cat eye shape might impede our vision range, but the extended curve provides a similar field of view to the larger-framed glasses we tested. Unless you\u2019re planning to race a time trial, we give these a solid thumbs up for just about anything summer throws your way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> Polarized (glass or polycarbonate) Pros and Cons<\/strong> <\/section>\n Built for long days on the water, Bajio\u2019s Palehorse Sunglasses proved to be a solid companion on river trips and boating excursions. With extra sun protection, thanks to the removable side shields, the Palehorse shades are proof that you don\u2019t need to look like you\u2019re getting shot out of a cannon to protect your eyes. Testers loved the casual shape and felt comfortable taking these glasses off the water for hikes and picnics in the park.<\/p>\n The bio-based frames are lightweight and seemingly indestructible (at least in our testing), with grippy yet comfortable recessed nose pads. \u201cI forgot I was wearing them,\u201d reported one tester after a spring day on the Teton River in Idaho. \u201cI appreciated that I could remove the side shields so I could wear these casually on days I didn\u2019t need the extra protection.\u201d<\/p>\n We also tested these on rocky summits and spring ski tours but found they shine on the water, where Baj\u00edo\u2019s LAPIS lens technology\u2014which blocks 95 percent of bluelight\u2014reduces haze, sharpens contrast, and eases eye strain. Minor niggles: the large frame was too much for smaller-faced folks, and the prescription lens options are quite pricey.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> ChromaPop, interchangeable Pros and Cons<\/strong> <\/section>\n Style undoubtedly goes in circles, and that\u2019s never been truer than with the 90s-style shades that are now commonplace at trailheads, ski hills, and breweries. In celebration of their sixtieth anniversary, Smith relaunched their iconic Slider Series sunglasses, which in 1995 were the first patented dual-lens interchangeable sunglasses.<\/p>\n Testers loved that they didn\u2019t have to choose between fun and function with these wraparound frames. They\u2019re spirited enough for a party-shirt rollerblade adventure, but equally protective from wind and glare while road biking or ski touring. \u201cI was skeptical about this sunglass shape since it seems so \u2018Gen Z,\u2019 but I found myself loving them more and more each time,\u201d said one Idaho-based tester. \u201cI almost feel like I have an alter ego when I wear them.\u201d<\/p>\n The Sliders include three sets of lenses, which are easy to pop out and replace (one at a time). Testers praised the grippy nose and temple pads that stayed securely in place on rocky trail runs and slushy spring bump skiing. Some people love this sunglass trend, some hate it, but it\u2019s probably not going anywhere anytime soon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> Non-polarized polycarbonate Pros and Cons <\/section>\n Unless you\u2019re deep-sea fishing or lake kayaking, you actually don\u2019t need a polarized lens, which helps cut glare from flat, reflective surfaces like water and roads. The Knockaround Campeones come with intentionally non-polarized lenses to allow for more depth perception, higher contrast, and less eye fatigue during non-water-based activities where glare isn\u2019t an issue. (Plus, not having polarization keeps the price down.)<\/p>\n These were our testers\u2019 favorite shield sunglasses in the lower price bracket. We wore them Nordic skiing, backcountry skiing, and road running, and they stayed put on our faces during all of those activities, mostly due to an adjustable rubber nose pad that gives you a custom fit. Plus, unlike some sunglasses that show every morsel of sweat and sunscreen smudged across the lens and require constant cleaning, these stayed mostly clean despite heavy use, thanks to an oil-resistant lens treatment. \u201cI sweat in them all day without dealing with greasy smudges. I call that a win,\u201d one tester said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> Photochromic Pros and Cons<\/strong> <\/section>\n Testers loved the full coverage and goggle-like feel of the Glade Stash sport sunglasses, which we found to be the perfect companion for ski tours and mountain bike rides. The photochromic lenses adapted on the fly, a huge asset while riding bikes in mixed light conditions. \u201cThe lenses transitioned super quickly while pedaling between dark forests and open fields,\u201d said one tester after a long mountain bike ride in North Bend, WA. Testers were also impressed with the glasses\u2019 ability to keep fogging at bay during cold, sweaty ski tours.<\/p>\n The only reported downside was that the oversized design slipped down the nose a bit on rugged mountain bike descents. That\u2019s likely due to the medium-large frame size\u2014testers with smaller faces agreed that the Stash felt less secure. Otherwise, the durable, oversized design won over testers for summer and winter activities. \u201cI might even consider replacing my goggles with these for winter ski tours,\u201d one Teton-based tester said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> Polarized Pros and Cons<\/strong> <\/section>\n The Nike Swerve Polarized sunglasses are so versatile, they haven\u2019t left our faces much this spring. These simple, lightweight shades have become our tailgating BFFs, pairing well with just about everything and fitting almost all of our testers\u2019 faces.<\/p>\n The ultralight design made it easy to keep these sunnies on hand at all times for easy deployment wherever we were. \u201cI just started leaving them in my pocket while skiing so I could throw them on whenever I took my goggles off,\u201d said one tester.<\/p>\n They\u2019re not our top choice for high-output activities: the temples aren\u2019t grippy enough to remain securely in place when you\u2019re working up a sweat or bouncing around (like trail running). The polarized lenses, however, are a nice touch for snowy apr\u00e8s tailgates and sunset happy hour where you need protection but aren\u2019t planning on doing burpees or jumping on a trampoline.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> Toric Pros and Cons <\/section>\n The Scott Stride\u2019s toric lens (shaped like the edge of a donut) didn\u2019t seem noticeable at first, but eventually, we realized we had more peripheral vision than we\u2019re used to without suffering from a bubble-shaped lens that distorts vision. For sports where seeing clearly makes a big difference\u2014like road cycling, mountain biking, and trail running\u2014a toric lens can help you take in the whole picture of the terrain ahead. One tester called them futuristic and praised their non-obstructed view. \u201cThe lens provided ample coverage and great clarity in a comfortable, non-slip fit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The Stride is built frameless for the fast-and-light crew, like uphill skiers, marathon runners, and backpackers. It tips the scales at a mere 27 grams\u2014you won\u2019t even feel it on your face. Plus, the pliable temples fit perfectly under bike and ski helmets. The glasses come with two lens color choices: a white or a red chrome. The red blocks more intense rays but it\u2019s a little jarring to look through as it makes the world look like it\u2019s been dyed in strawberry Kool-Aid; opt for the white lens if you want a more toned-down, everyday look.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> Choose from 10 color options, including clear Pros and Cons <\/section>\n For running, cycling, and other sweaty pursuits, the Oakley Sutro Lite Sweep was a true champ. \u201cGreat combo of ventilation and coverage for a hard training ride,\u201d said tester Tristan Queen, who trained for the Leadville 100 in these shades. \u201cGood airflow meant I wasn\u2019t getting sweaty eye area syndrome.\u201d (Yes, that\u2019s a thing.)<\/p>\n In mixed lighting through forests or dimly lit roads, the lenses\u2014which one tester called A+ quality\u2014popped color and light without distortion. This is a slight, minimalist option for athletic types who\u2019d rather not wear a massive shield but still want the wind and sun protection of a full-coverage shade.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> Comes with two interchangeable lenses Pros and Cons<\/strong> <\/section>\n The POC Devour Glacial is based on the design of POC\u2019s top-selling Devour<\/a> glasses, used mostly by downhill mountain bikers, but has additional features that make them more suitable for snow and mountain travel. The Devour Glacial comes with lenses you can swap out, side shields for added protection, and the same color-sharpening lens technology as POC\u2019s ski goggles. Testers wore them backcountry skiing in place of goggles, and they did the job of both breathable sunglasses on the skintrack uphill and goggles for wind protection on the way down. \u201cWhy carry more stuff if you don\u2019t have to?\u201d one tester said. \u201cThis is the ultimate two-in-one tool.\u201d Even our more skeptical testers were converts: \u201cI would usually never ski down in a pair of sunglasses, but these are not normal sunglasses.\u201d<\/p>\n Since they come with a dark full-sun lens and a completely clear lens, one tester figured: night skiing? She took them on a night backcountry tour under a full moon and the crisp, clear lens and wide field of view were perfect. You\u2019re likely not going to want to wear these shades around town afterward\u2014they look like techy lab glasses. If you want more of an everyday style with similar features, consider POC\u2019s more streamlined Devour<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> Polarized Pros and Cons<\/strong> <\/section>\n Jean Vuarnet himself rocked a pair of the Legend 02 sunglasses while skiing in the 1960 Olympics Games in Tahoe, California, making them one of Vuarnet\u2019s most iconic styles. If that doesn\u2019t make them a solid addition to apr\u00e8s we\u2019re not sure what does.<\/p>\n Testers loved these sunglasses for skiing spring corn and casually hanging out for apr\u00e8s barbecues and tailgates. \u201cI love that the Legend 02 looks like a pair of casual shades, but backs it up with impressive clarity and glare-reducing qualities,\u201d said one Wyoming-based tester after a full day of inline skating followed by sunset grilling.<\/p>\n The subtle cat-eye shape offers a little boost in protection and field of view, and the flexible nylon frames stood strong despite getting sat on, tossed, and stuffed in packs. The red lens can be a fun statement, but a couple of testers felt like it was a bit much, and would have opted for something more muted.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> 11 color options, photochromic available Pros and Cons<\/strong> <\/section>\n The Rudy Project Kelion sport sunglasses scored top marks from mountain bikers, road cyclists, and gravel riders for their impressive field of view, protection, fit, and helmet integration. \u201cThe optics are insane. Extremely clear, effective photochromic adjustment, and very scratch and smudge-resistant,\u201d one tester reported after a couple hundred miles of gravel and mountain biking in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n Grippy temple and nose pads kept these glasses securely in place during technical bike descents. Testers also appreciated the max-coverage design, noting that even while clocking high speeds, wind never snuck in. The photochromic lenses didn\u2019t quite get dark enough for skiing in the winter, but for summertime, we couldn\u2019t find many faults with these shades.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lens:<\/strong> RIG Pros and Cons<\/strong> <\/section>\n High speeds are no match for the Sweet Protection Shinobi RIG Sunglasses. Testers in Idaho, Wyoming and Washington State took the Shinobi shades along for stormy ski tours, sunny trail runs, days at the crag, and springtime road rides, reporting excellent coverage and protection, especially when moving fast.<\/p>\n The Shinobi is built with RIG (retina illumination grading)\u2014Sweet Protection\u2019s proprietary lens technology\u2014to enhance contrast and minimize color distortion (which seemed to work for our testers). Customization was ideal: snap-in lenses were easy to swap out, and three included nose pieces let folks dial in a precise fit. One Idaho tester summed up his impressions: \u201cThe mid-sized frame fit most, stays very secure, and provides enough coverage without looking like you\u2019re headed to explore outer space\u2014and the optics are excellent for varied light conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n One downside: these sunglasses are bulky when folded, making them less convenient to stash in a pack. The solution? Don\u2019t take them off.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/section>\n To determine what we consider to be the best sport sunglasses of the year, we handed out five or six pairs of sunglasses each to a group of 12 testers based in the Tetons, Pacific Northwest, and Appalachian Mountains, and asked them to wear them for bike rides, trail runs, ski tours, tailgates and everything in between. Throughout the year, testers swap sports sunglasses, putting them through the wringer on adventures big and small. (11 Lake Tahoe, California-based testers evaluated last year\u2019s models, several of which we retained for this year\u2019s list)<\/p>\n Testing goes on year-round to accommodate all the seasons, with new rounds of products tested several times each year.<\/p>\n Testers with a wide range of backgrounds, ages, outdoor interests, and face shapes put the shades through their paces in both winter and summer conditions\u2013from low-light blizzards to mid-day July sun\u2014while doing everything from running ultramarathons to multi-day river trips. We wore these sunglasses while riding motorcycles through the Appalachian Mountains, guiding the Grand Teton, ski touring in Norway, mountain biking in Squamish, and daily runs, bike rides, and everyday outings in the Tetons and Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n Testers were chosen based on a diversity of recreational pursuits, but mostly because they\u2019re opinionated about gear and they get outside regularly. Once they\u2019d sufficiently wear-tested products, they filled out in-depth feedback forms where they reviewed characteristics like lens quality, fit, features, and durability.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our testers are outdoorsy, well-traveled and opinionated folks based in the Teton Mountains, the Pacific Northwest, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Lake Tahoe. On our roster, we have certified mountain guides, ski instructors, filmmakers, medical students, retired van-lifers, ultra runners, and others, each with their own set of criteria for the perfect pair of sunglasses.<\/p>\n <\/div>\nBest Sport Sunglasses: At a Glance<\/strong><\/h2>\n
