What to Look For in Running Sunglasses
Frames
When you’re racing down Carlsbad Boulevard, you want a pair of frames that will help you — not distract you. A lightweight frame material will feel great for the entire half marathon, so you can focus on putting one foot in front of the other.
In addition, rubber grips on the temples and nose pads will keep your frames in place — while also providing optical alignment.
Lenses
Keep clear of glass lenses — as they’re heavier and more likely to shatter while you run. Lightweight and impact-resistant lenses are a better choice. Additionally, features that keep the lenses clear — oleophobic, hydrophobic, anti-reflective, and hard coatings — are essential during long-distance runs.

Get your adrenaline pumping with one of Nike's newest releases, the Adrenaline 22. The wrapped design blocks out excessive peripheral light, while also providing additional visibility. Lightweight with bent temples, the Adrenaline 22 features an oleophobic lens coating that minimizes smudging and an anti-reflective coating that reduces glare. Furthermore, frame ventilation increases airflow and reduces fogging. So no matter how much you sweat during the half marathon, your lenses will remain clear.
