Shopping Bag
You did it!!! You found the perfect pair of sunglasses. They match every outfit in your closet, and you get compliments galore while still being built to keep up with your every move. So you start wearing ’em to all of your outdoor extravaganzas from boat days with your pals to SUPing down a river. They start showing some wear and tear, but it’s no big deal. You constantly push them up your nose, but again, no big deal. You start feeling acute eye fatigue. No biggie, right? Now it’s time to take ‘em for a dive. You ace that forward dive, but your new, perfect pair of sunglasses, not so much.
This sad tale is, unfortunately, an all-too-common occurrence, but we’re here to turn that tale into a redemption arc by helping you find a pair of sunglasses better suited for all your water sports and endeavors. A pair to end all pairs. One that can provide proper UV protection and durable frames made to outlast the roughest sea voyage. Here at goodr, we make polarized sunglasses for all of these needs, and to top it all off, we deliver them in style. Say goodbye to the days of having to pick utility over fashion, goodr provides you with both, giving you the best sunglasses for water sports.
Being out in the water, whether that’s in a lake or the ocean, can be intense. Conditions can change at any moment, and the speed of the waves can rise quickly. Given these factors, it’s always best to have specialized sunglasses that can really deal with a wide range of weather and sporting activities. Here are some of the top reasons why you need specialized water sports sunglasses:
Enhanced eye protection from UV rays, glare, and water spray is important, as sun overexposure to your eyes can be just as dangerous as it is for your skin. UV400 protection is widely recognized as the type of lens protection you want for any outdoor wear, as it fights off UVA and UVB rays. Before you go off in search of sunglasses with this material, it might be helpful to know that goodr offers UV400 sunglasses for every pair we sell.
You need visibility and glare reduction in bright light conditions, as it could mean the difference between noticing buoys or missing them entirely. In the interest of safety and enjoyment, it's better to get sunnies that’ll work with you and aid you in navigating the waters.
A secure, bounce-free fit for active movement should never be discounted. Your sunnies can be packed with great features, but if they're constantly coming off your face, then how can you enjoy them?
Durability against water, salt, and sweat means that you can count on your sunglasses to last you through more than just a year of wear. After going through a wild and sometimes grueling journey to your perfect pair of sunnies, you want 'em to last.
Maybe your last pair wasn't your sunnies soulmate (some connections just aren't meant to be), but your next can be if you know what to look for! Especially one that fits your water sports or everyday needs. These are some non-negotiables when it comes to your sunglasses:
Polarized lenses: These lenses help reduce glare bouncing off water, lessening squint when looking for those visual markers in the water.
Lightweight, floating frames: These frames allow for easy recovery if dropped in the water or in the event of going overboard. Better snatch 'em up quick if they do land in the water, or some merman may grab them to add to their seasonal look.
Non-slip nose and temple grips: Engaging in water sports is a high-movement activity; these features allow your sunglasses to move with you instead of with the waves.
UV400 protection: This type of UV protection is the most commonly advised rating by many optometrists for ultimate eye protection. It blocks 100% of harmful rays like UVA and UVB from traveling to your eyes. And when you’re outside in the open water, coming by shade isn’t easy.
Wraparound design: When water is all around you, most light is reflecting from above. This can lead to affected peripheral vision, which makes it hard to navigate and ensure safety. This design shields you from those reflections, along with wind and splash.
We know there’s a lot of variability when it comes to water sports. Some involve constant time in the water, while others only get you wet if you slip and fall in. That time in the water plays a big role when choosing the right frames; the last thing you want is a pair that’s not suited for your sport. Foggy lenses, saltwater damage, or poor grip can all be serious hindrances. That’s why we’ve put together a list of frames built to handle it all, so you can spend less time stressing and more time making waves.
These dark teal, glare-reducing polarized sunglasses come equipped with a grip coat, making them free of slippage and bounce. We’d recommend these sunglasses for anyone who lives for weekends, jet skiing, and sailing.
You’re the captain of your own ship, so why not look like one, too? Built for speed, these red frames have a performance build that helps you look devastatingly chic while offering the features you need for an active lifestyle. Their reflective lenses are also great for deflecting unwanted light from your eyes, making them the perfect pair of powerboating or fishing sunglasses.
Made with water sports enthusiasts in mind, these pink frames with reflective lenses will stay afloat and will battle off those harmful UV rays and glare, so you can surf, paddleboard, or kayak without a hitch. These bad boys are also saltwater resistant, so they’ll stick by your side through every wave, wake, and wild ride.
Made for larger noggins, these beige frames with gradient lenses are ideal for all weather conditions! The polarized lenses provide ample coverage and clarity, and the wider frames won’t squish your head or give you a hangover you didn’t sign up for.
That’s not all, though; we have so much more to peruse through. Check out our website to discover frames and styles that are ideal for your water sports. Or, if you’re looking for high-performance shades for running or skiing, we’ve got ‘em, too.
What was once a cautionary tale is now, dare we say, a sea-worthy fairytale. You no longer have to compromise or overpay for a pair of floating sunglasses for your water sports. You can have performance, style, and budget-friendly shades that won’t ditch you mid-adventure!
Keep all of these features (polarization, UV400 protection, nonslip frames, etc.) in mind when shopping for your perfect pair of sunglasses, and you’ll never look back unless it’s to check out your reflection. With goodr, you can find everything you’re looking for and more!!! From classic sunglasses to aviators to floating frames, your only dilemma will be choosing just one pair of sunglasses.
You’re now ready to take on the water with shades that stay sharp with every splash or dip you take. Be unstoppable, and show the tides who owns the currents. (Careful, Poseidon might try to snatch those new sunnies, but good luck keeping up.)
