View Full Album

With the growing number of people active in various outdoor recreation and professional sports, the need for better eye protection from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation and the enhancement of vision under the extreme conditions during such activities has become increasingly important. To meet these demands, manufacturers are continuously developing innovative models of sunglasses that are both highly stylish and also provide the practical aspects of being lightweight, protective, flexible, and resilient.

Vast improvements to the modern design of sport sunglasses have included the use of polycarbonate lenses and Polarized lenses. As well, the new wavefront-guided design technology creates a perfect, customized lens prescription capable of both correcting the minor visual imperfections that even regular eyeglass lenses cannot reduce.

Since Ray-Ban pioneered designer-sunglass technology in1937, numerous manufacturers have started to produce sports sunglasses. Of these, two of the more popular brands today are Dragon and Gargoyle. Dragon sunglasses are characterized by their stylishness and large wrap-around frame. Gargoyle’s design provides extreme durability, and their unique wrapback design provides maximal peripheral protection, one-piece integrated lenses, side shields, cushioned nose pads and sonically welded temples. Perfect for the active athlete, they weigh just 1.1 ounces. Both Dragon and Gargoyle provide 100% UV protection, and are available at specialty vision and sports shops, retail outlets, and online at wholesale sites such as ShadeSaver.com, CTS Wholesale Sunglasses, and SunglassesGiant.com.

Now wearing sports sunglasses makes it possible to have healthy eyes and to make a well-defined style statement – whether you’re being physically active or just simply want to look good.
