Sunglasses

Sunglasses are an essential piece of equipment while training and racing outdoors. You need good protection from the suns harmful rays and a clear line of vision out on the road. Triathlete Sports carries several brands of sunglasses that won't distort your vision and will help to maximize your performance without taxing your wallet. The most popular types of sunglasses used for triathlon are ones with Photochromic lenses. These lenses adjust to light conditions, darkening as the sun gets brighter and fading when the sun goes behind a cloud. This technology allows you to train and race for hours without fiddling with your sunglasses - no need to switch out the lenses! Another popular piece of sunglass technology are Polarized Lenses. These lenses reduce glare off from surfaces such as water and tarred roads. Triathlete Sports carries several sunglass options which have both Photochromic and Polarized lenses for the ultimate in all day eyewear. Look for other sport performance features like hydrophillic pads that prevent your sunglasses from slipping on your face as you sweat and vents to prevent fogging.
