Your eyes deserve nothing but the best hiking sunglasses!

Features of the best hiking sunglasses

These are all things you should consider when scouring for the best hiking sunglasses.

Polarized Lenses:

Polarization improves your field of vision and reduces eye strain, particularly in reflective conditions such as around snow or water. Luckily, all Sunskis are polarized because we believe polarized lenses are an essential feature for people who love to live life outside. The best hiking sunglasses are polarized.

Comfort & Fit:

If your sunglasses are giving you a headache or hurting the bridge of your nose, they’re not a good fit! And when you’re out hitting the trails, you want your sunglasses to be so comfortable that you forget they’re on your face. Comfort is a serious necessity on your hunt for the best hiking sunglasses.

At Sunski, we believe flexibility and lightweight shades make for the best hiking sunglasses. No matter how fast you’re moving, sunglasses should fit your face without sliding or slipping or pinching. Sunglasses in our sport collection even come with a rubber nose pad for extra grip. Don’t worry, it doesn’t sacrifice comfort!

Durability:

Let’s be real, when you’re out having fun on the trail, the last thing you want to be worrying about is damaging your expensive designer shades. That’s exactly why we started Sunski: to create affordable, durable sunglasses that can actually handle the outdoors.

If your shades do acquire substantial damage, all Sunski sunglasses come with a Lifetime Warranty and replacement lenses, so you can adventure worry-free.

Visible Light Transmission (VLT):

The concept of VLT is more technical, but it’s worth considering if you’re in the market for the best hiking sunglasses. The VLT rating tells you how dark or light sunglasses are. A lower percent VLT means your eyes will be better protected from bright glare and the intensity of all-day sun.

Sunski lenses provide ideal sun protection, with a VLT range from 9-15 percent, making them a perfect fit for your long walks on trail.
