Collection: Outdoor Glasses

We always construct our lenses from impact-resistant polycarbonate and test our durable frame styles to ANSI’s Z87+ safety standard to ensure your eyes are protected in the rugged places you find yourself. Instead of worrying about breaking your glasses, you can have peace of mind knowing your sunglasses are protecting your eyesight from both sunlight and any unforeseen impacts. 

In most outdoor situations, polarized lenses offer superior clarity and glare reduction to tinted sunglasses. Why? Rather than simply blocking light, as tinted sunglasses do, polarized lenses act as a filter for bright, reflected light. Think of polarized lenses like a set of blinds across a window. These types of sunglasses are especially useful around water, snow, concrete or other reflective surfaces that can cause glare. For more information about how polarized lenses work, read our blog.

There’s nothing more frustrating than glasses that won’t stay put. Whether you’re on a hike, at the beach, biking or just strolling around town, slipping glasses are a surefire way to wreck your day. Consider using eyewear retainers to help keep glasses secure. Or, look for a new pair of glasses featuring anti-slip details embedded into the nose pads and temple pieces of the frames. This material gets tacky with moisture from sweat or humidity, and can keep you from having to keep pushing your glasses back onto your nose.          

Whether you’re searching for hiking, fishing or cycling glasses, look for quality construction, frames that sit securely on your face and polarized lenses. When you’re on the move, the last thing you want to worry about is uncomfortable glasses that won’t stay on your face–or breaking a pair of subpar sunglasses. And polarized lenses can drastically help decrease glare and improve definition, especially when you’re around water, snow or other reflective surfaces. 

Unfortunately, fogging is a natural phenomenon that happens on virtually every surface, including sunglass lenses. It’s caused by an excess buildup of water vapor–tiny droplets of H2O. You’ve probably experienced it; physical exertion can increase the likelihood that your lenses will fog. Readily available anti-fog solutions can help prevent fogging. But these topical coatings are also prone to premature wear. Edge’s Vapor Shield anti-fog technology is infused into the lenses during the manufacturing process. Vapor Shield is a higher performing solution to stop the fog-causing buildup of water vapor on the surface of your sunglass lenses than sprays, wipes or other temporary anti-fogs on the market.
