Best Overall Running Sunglasses

Radar EV Path
Pros
  • Structured nose helps maintain airflow
  • Secure fit
Cons
  • Expensive

For outdoor sport eye protection, you can't go wrong with any Oakleys. These are beloved by runners, cyclists, and hikers, thanks to super secure fit, high-quality design, and expert lenses. The lens shape is wide enough to give you clear peripheral vision.

Best Budget Running Sunglasses

Grass Stain Hall of Fame
Pros
  • Great price
  • A ton of shape and color options
Cons
  • Not as high-quality as some other options

Run clubs love Goodr sunglasses, and we're kinda into the whole thing. They make cheap, durable frames in fun shapes and colors, all of which fit snug to the face and do a good job of keeping the sun from ruining your eyes. For anyone looking to test the waters or who is prone to losing sunglasses, these are a great option.

SR-1x
Pros
  • Best fit-to-face shape
  • Great for multisport
Cons
  • Can be a bit hard to clean

Roka's SR-1xs are another favorite for runners and we think the make a great go-between if you want something to be both active and not in them. They are simple, semi-frameless with an incredibly lightweight design. The real standout is on the textured sections that ensure they won't slide down or bounce off.

Best Lightweight Running Sunglasses

Flyfree Mirrored Sunglasses
Pros
  • Feel lightweight
  • Lenses don't feel flimsy
Cons
  • Pricey

Nike's running accessories are the great equalizer: they can be played off as just truly sporty, or you can wear 'em like you're trendy as hell. These sturdy mirrored sunglasses are lightweight and come in fun colors, like this orange-red and royal blue.

Best Multisport Sunglasses

Vogel XC
Pros
  • Great price
  • Preventative fog gap in the lens
  • Tacky nose bridge
Cons
  • Some say the fit is too close

Do these look like I'm heading out to play beach volleyball? You bet they do. And they aren't even designed for that, necessarily, but they perform well for most outdoor sports, including running and golf. They have a mask fit, tacky nose bridge, and space in the lens to keep airflow in and fogged-up lenses out.

Best Running Sunglasses for the Fashion Freaks

Junya Racer Sunglasses
Pros
  • Pink and yellow colorways extremely good
  • Super durable
Cons
  • Pricey

If you're ready for a splurge kinda sunglass, District Vision makes extremely cool sunglasses that are both techy and futuristic. These pink lenses are standouts, of course, and we like the contouring for total visibility.

Chippewa Polarized Sunglasses
Pros
  • Cheap
  • Wide lenses but not a mask fit
Cons
  • Cheap

If you're not ready for the full running sunglass yet but want something that'll do, these baby blue polarized sunglasses have wide, fitted frames that offer more visibility than your standard sunglasses. The lighter frame color is also great if you don't like a lens that feels as though it mutes the world.

Most Luxe Running Sunglasses

Shield Pro 149MM Athletic Mask Sunglasses
Pros
  • Excellent mask shape
  • Great lens colors
Cons
  • Expensive

And TAG Heuer's sunnies, ones to wear while you're cosplay F1 racing. These are extra: the wide mask frame, the multicolored lens, the full-face fit. But that's kind of the name of the game here, isn't it? For a pricier but durable pick, these are it.
