Can the eyewear you select make a difference in your game time performance? Absolutely. Your sunglasses won’t make you a run faster or jump higher, but the right pair can give you an advantage over the competition. The right pair can reduce glare, protect your eyes, and keep you focused on the task at hand. The surprise…quality high performance sunglasses do not have to cost a fortune.
If you are like me then you have, at one time or another, bought a pair of expensive sport sunglasses. If you are like me then you have also lost those sunglasses only to be devastated by the amount of money wasted on their purchase.
Why did you spend all of that money in the first place? Of course, because you wanted to have clarity of vision, 100% UV protection, and wanted the latest style. Is that too much to ask? Absolutely not.
The truth is, you can get all of the qualities of expensive sport sunglasses in well made less expensive selections without resorting to purchasing ill-fabricated knock-off designs by selecting sunglasses manufactured by lesser known designers. These designers produce similar styles of sunglasses without compromising lens quality or UV protection. For the serious athlete, this means, decreased cost without a decrease in performance. So, see your competitors more clearly, experience less glare on the slopes, spike the ball with confidence…your eyes are protected and your wallet, well that is as well.
A polarized lens will reduce glare, a polycarbonate lens will provide shatterproof coverage, and affordable sunglasses can provide the UV protection you want and need.
