What to Look for in Hiking Sunglasses

For a complete breakdown of everything you need to know when buying men's hiking sunglasses, visit our buyer's guide. For a brief review, continue reading below.

Generous Coverage

Protect yourself from all angles with oversized lenses or an 8-base wrap design. These lens shapes will provide the maximum amount of sun protection to keep you covered against harsh UV rays.

Comfortable Fit

When you're out trekking the terrain, the last distraction you need is uncomfortable sunglasses. Today, innovative frame materials make these sunglasses more lightweight and durable than ever. This means you can take on full-day hikes in total physical and visual comfort.

Rubber Grip

Whether you're turning your head to enjoy the surroundings, or gazing down during your descent, rubber grip is essential to keep your frames in place. All of the men's hiking sunglasses in our lineup have rubber grip or textured nose pads to help them stay securely on your face.
