Lens shape isn't always only about aesthetics. An essential part of performance, a specific shape will ensure that your sunglasses maintain a secure and comfortable fit, while maximising your vision and field of view, no matter your environment.
The wrap-around shape is a favourite for running, hugging your face and shielding your eyes from peripheral light whilst protecting you from wind and dust. These aerodynamic frames are meticulously designed to minimise drag, edging you slightly close to that new personal best time.

The shield shape is another favourite for runners. They provide enhanced coverage that standard sunglasses can't compete with. The larger surface area gives you an uninterrupted, panoramic view, crucial for maintaining awareness of your surroundings, especially in dynamic environments like busy streets or uneven trails. This expansive coverage also means your eyes are fully protected from harsh sunlight, wind and debris during an off-road run.

When it comes to running, there are few better lenses than Oakley's Prizm technology. Tailored to individual conditions, they are specifically designed for performance in their desired terrain.

This means you can easily spot obstacles and transitions in terrain, making your run not only safer but more enjoyable. Made to accentuate the black and grey colours found in tarmac, Prizm Road highlights bumps and potholes.

For those bright, sun-drenched mornings where the glare from the pavement can be as challenging as the run itself, polarised lenses are your best bet. They cut through the glare, allowing for a distraction-free run and reduced eye strain. Polarised lenses are also a great option for winter sun, as the glare and reflection from the wet road surface can impair your vision in an instant once the sun comes out.
However, on overcast days or during those early morning or late evening runs, when light conditions can be unpredictable, photochromic lenses come into their own. These lenses adjust to the level of light, ensuring your path is always clear and your eyes are comfortable, without the need to switch glasses or squint through unsuitable tint levels.
