Welcome to the wonderful world of scratch-resistant sunglasses. We’ve been waiting for you! If you don’t know the first thing about what makes something “scratch-resistant,” that’s alright! We’re here to tell you.
A scratch-resistant coating helps harden your lenses to strengthen them, contributing to longer life for your sunglasses. The coating is applied directly to the lenses through the spraying or dipping method with a clear substance (either polycrystalline or diamond-like carbon (DLC)) that won’t affect your vision at all when wearing the sunglasses. It’ll do the complete opposite, in fact. Three cheers for clear vision!!!
While often interchanged with “scratch-proof,” they are not the same. In fact, no sunglasses or eyeglasses can be made 100% scratch-proof, but scratch-resistant materials give your lenses the best opportunity to defeat the evil forces that are scratches, no matter what obstacle course you put them through.
All those tiny tech details come together to give you lenses that are tougher than your Monday morning workouts.
Pro-Tip: The most effective way to ensure you end up with minimal to no scratches on your sunglasses is by storing them when not in use in a secure spot or case, and by cleaning them with a microfiber cloth. Scratch-resistant sunglasses provide you with that extra layer of protection against the elements outside your control. Think of them as your offensive line, blocking life's blindside hits so you can run your route in peace.
Why do athletes need to train? Or pass the ball? Or tape their ankles? Because the fundamentals are non-negotiable. Your gear should be no different. Scratch-resistant sunglasses should offer more than protection; they should be part of the game plan.
On the field, in the gym, or on the trail, they should be by your side at all times. That starts with a non-negotiable checklist: scratch resistance, full UV400 protection, and a no-slip fit. This trifecta guards your eyes from debris, sun, and slippage, while giving your shades a fighting chance against drops, sweat, and packed bags. Basically, the holy trinity of sports sunglasses.
When you’re running up a storm, you shouldn’t be worrying about a lens scratching after a fall or a slip on a sudden turn. Scratch-resistant sunglasses are your durability layer! They should be able to take the impact so your vision (and PR) stays clear, and they should stick to your head like they signed a lifetime contract.
Think of it as a tactical upgrade. Scratches can kill clarity and compromise your style!!! Don’t be the cyclist squinting through your sunglasses on a stint and lagging behind the pack; be leading the race with peak vision, full protection, and sunglasses that perform as hard as you do.
Let’s break it down all the way to the lens material before any coating even comes into the process. Most glass lenses are polycarbonate, a synthetic plastic material, or glass. While glass is more resistant to scratches, it is heavier than polycarbonate, which is quite light. Our sunglasses are made with polycarbonate, giving them that light feel and better impact resistance.
After molding the lenses into the correct shape for the glasses frame, the coating is applied using polycrystalline or diamond-like carbon (DLC) to the clear lens to harden it. The coating allows the lenses to become more durable so that they are shatter-resistant and don’t scratch easily against surfaces.
And voilá, that’s how you get scratch-resistant sunglasses. Basically, lenses tough enough that you can forget you ever stressed about scratches in the first place. And if you’re anything like us, you’re then adding a little more magic like no-slip grips, UV400 protection, and much, much more.
Let’s set the scene: You’re sliding into home, kicking up a cloud of dust and consequences. And your shades slip. Or you’re at grandma’s (the turkey-trotting side of the family), and you dash toward the finish line, and you take a tumble, knocking your sunnies right off your face. In both scenarios, you’ve lost your dignity…but with scratch-resistant lenses, at least you haven’t lost your sunglasses. They'll hang in there even when you don't.
Life is beautifully chaotic, even when you’re beasting through life. Spills, drops, or tosses are inevitable. Scratch-resistant sunglasses are your pardon from wearing every single mishap on your lenses forever. They give a chance to reclaim your title as the family’s undisputed turkey trot champion.
Now, “scratch resistant” isn’t a force field. It doesn’t mean flawless forever, but it does mean flawless longer. Your sunglasses will live through your or life’s antics longer, and keep your vision clear and your style cooler than ever. Perfection is a myth, but durability is a choice. Choose the shades that can keep up. cough cough goodr sunglasses.

Here are some tips on keeping your sunglasses game ready every day!
Clean them with a microfiber cloth to help ensure that they don’t have materials collecting on them, something that can quickly lead to scratches. Try to use the cloth whenever a cleaning is needed and avoid the last-minute shirt wipe when possible.
Don’t just toss your sunglasses in a gym bag, where they are sure to tussle with a few items and receive some scratches. Instead, store them in a case or pouch whenever you aren’t using them so they can stay in pristine condition.
Remember, just because your sunglasses are scratch-resistant doesn’t mean they’re invincible. But if you follow the steps above, you’ll reduce the number of scratches your sunglasses might catch.
