What to Look for in Tennis Sunglasses

In addition to all of the frames being Rx-able, let's look at which criteria to consider for your tennis sunglasses.

Frame Technology

In a sport that keeps you on your toes, a frame that stays in place is key to staying focused on the game. Rubber grip will make sure the sunglasses don't budge, no matter how much you move. A lightweight and comfortable fit will also ensure that you aren't distracted by frame weight or readjustments.

Lens Technology

Since playing conditions vary greatly for tennis, i.e. indoors vs outdoors, clay courts, vs grass courts, day vs evening matches, there is no one-size-fits-all lens. To get the most out of your tennis sunglasses, we recommend investing in a frame that features interchangeable lenses. a lens change system will allow you to always get the perfect tint and coverage, based on your specific conditions.

Unobtainium™ rubber nose pads and temples keep it securely in place, no matter how quickly you're running across the court.

If you're looking for men's tennis sunglasses that don't break the bank, look no further than the Tifo Vero. Available at a friendly price point, the Vero doesn't hurt your wallet but excels on the court. Made from Grilamid TR-90, one of the most durable frame materials, the Vero is lightweight and resistant to UV-exposure. For daytime players, this means your Vero won't fade after long hours in the sun, and will look as vibrant as the first day you got them.

The Tifosi Vero features hydrophilic rubber nose pads and flexible temples for a custom fit that will keep you comfortable. Its contoured lenses provide excellent sun protection, and while they're vented in non-prescription, we would like to point out that the prescription lenses will not feature this venting. Not to worry, throw on an anti-fog coating and you'll be good to go!

Nike Show X3

Do you love the coverage of a large lens? Then, you'll love the Nike Show 3, which has one of the biggest lenses in our lineup of the best men's tennis prescription sunglasses. Its wrap design ensures coverage from all angles, and rubber grip helps it stay securely in place. An impressive ventilation system keeps you cool, no matter how much you sweat. You'll find discrete ventilation ports along the top of the frame and vented nose pads, for extra air flow and fog-defense.

For prescription, we recommend the Nike Show X3 for light prescription wearers. Because of the generous size of the lens, this isn't the best option for high prescriptions.

Oakley Flak 2.0 XL

We started out with an Oakley frame, and we're closing out with Oakley. The Flak 2.0 XL is an impressive all-around sports choice and shines on the tennis court. Featuring all the Oakley tech we know and love like, lightweight O Matter™ frame construction, tons of Unobtainium™ rubber grip, and interchangeable PRIZM™ lenses, the Flak 2.0 XL is everything we want in a tennis frame. A quick note on the XL of the name. Don't let it fool you on sizing! XL stands for "extended lens", which means you get more lens height and coverage than a non-XL Oakley frame.
