Sunglasses are one must for any time of the year. They protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce your risk of diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration. They also reduce eye strain when it’s bright outside and eliminate distracting glare while driving. They also help shield your eyes from wind, rain and flying debris.
Any inexpensive pair of UV glasses will work—you can find decent options at drugstores or discount stores like TJ Maxx and Ross—but we’ve tried dozens of pairs of running sunglasses. , hiking, swimming, walking, lounging in the sun, and driving. These are our favorites.
Update June 2023: We’ve added new sunglasses we love from Pair, Pit Viper, Lucyd, and Sun God.
