Prescription Sport Sunglasses at SportRx
P.S.: Many of the following frames are REXY winners and nominees! Check out our REXYS page to learn more.
Cycling
Before we get into our top picks, we'll tell you a little bit on how to choose the best cycling sunglasses. For the full breakdown, be sure to check out our Cycling Buyer's Guide.
What to Look for in Cycling Sunglasses
The ideal frame and lens combo is a lightweight, wrapped frame to block out wind, paired with contrast-enhancing lenses. While casual bike glasses have been more common lately, you can't go wrong with that super-sporty look. We also don't typically recommend polarized lenses, but that depends on the cyclist.
For Men: Oakley Flak 2.0 XL
First up is the perfect gift for men, and one of our all-time favorites, the Oakley Flak 2.0 XL. This is the sport sunglass for the active man on your shopping list. Packed with performance features like an O Matter™ frame, Unobtainium® grip, and PRIZM™ lens technology, the Flak 2.0 XL has got it all. Check it out in the SportRx exclusive colorway, Matte Carbon!

Mountain Biking
Next, we'll share some quick tips on picking mountain biking sunglasses before we get into the top frames. For the full cheat sheet, read our MTB Buyer's Guide.
What to Look for in Mountain Biking Sunglasses
Choosing MTB glasses is fairly similar to cycling sunglasses (lightweight frame, contrast-enhancing lenses), but we also recommend grip and impact resistance on frames and lenses. When the ride gets bumpy, you'll need your sunglasses to stick with you and survive a fall. We also strongly advise against polarized lenses.
For Men: Oakley Portal X
You can hardly go wrong with another Oakley frame. For the hardcore mountain bikers, the Portal X has all the features you need like a durable frame and sticky grip. It's also casual enough to wear every day, making this one of the most versatile MTB frames.

These are also a great option for the price-conscious looking for a deal. These stellar frames come at a sweet starting price of $99 with single vision lenses.

Golf
Now, we take you to the golfing green. For advice on how to pick golf sunglasses, read our Golf Buyer's Guide.
What to Look for in Golf Sunglasses
One thing you really need to look out for in golf sunglasses for you and your loved ones is thin frames or semi-rimless lenses. This gives you the least amount of interference when looking out the bottom of your sunglasses at the golf ball. Having a bulky frame in the way can get annoying when you're lining up your swing, so a minimal frame with contrast-enhancing lenses is the way to go.
For Men: Maui Jim Ho'okipa
Get a hole in one with the Maui Jim Ho'okipa. These fully rimless sunglasses are light as a feather and include all the perks of amazing PolarizedPlus2® lens technology. On top of that, you can even get them in prescription!

Ski & Snowboard
Alongside the holiday season, the snow season is almost here, too! Follow our brief guide to picking ski & snowboard goggles and check out our Snow Buyer's Guide to learn more.
What to Look for in Snow Goggles
For snow goggles, the most important thing is fit. Most snow goggles are unisex, but you can also shop frames specific to women and kids to ensure you're getting the right size. A proper fit is essential to creating a full seal so cold air doesn't enter through the gaps.
As for lenses, snow goggle lens tints vary based on lighting conditions. Select from one lens that works in most conditions or, googles with an interchangeable lens system, so you can swap lenses.
You can even get snow goggles in prescription: inserts are a SportRx specialty, and we'd love to make some for you.
For Men: Oakley Flight Deck M (SportRx Exclusive)
We've got another SportRx exclusive colorway for you! The Oakley Flight Deck M is available with a fully black frame and strap, something you can't find anywhere else. We paired this low-key style with the PRIZM Sapphire Snow lens, since you can use it in pretty much any condition.

Fishing
Finally, it's time to Go Fish! We'll share our best advice for picking the best fishing sunglasses before we get into our frame recommendations. Like with the rest, our Fishing Buyer's Guide has all the deets.
What to Look for in Fishing Sunglasses
Our biggest recommendation for fishing is a good pair of polarized sunglasses. Another important one is getting a nylon frame, which withstands the elements better than other frame materials. As far as specific lens tints go, fishing can get a little overwhelming since different types of fishing have different requirements. We'll point you toward the appropriate guides:
- Best Lens Colors for Freshwater Fishing
- Best Lens Colors for Deep Sea Fishing
- Best Lens Colors for Flats Fishing
- Best Lens Colors for Fly Fishing
