FAQs: Best Sunglasses for Hiking
1. Are polarized sunglasses good for hiking?
Absolutely! Polarization reduces glare, enhances natural colors, and increases contrast which is fantastic for all-day comfort on the trails.
2. What lens color is best for hiking?
We prefer brown, grey and green lens tints. These help keep the eyes relaxed and enhance natural colors when exploring forest and mountain trails.
3. What’s the difference between regular sunglasses and hiking sunglasses?
Hiking sunglasses are designed with activity in mind. These styles will have better peripheral protection, good grip (or an additional headstrap to keep your shades secure), and sports lenses that offer impact resistance.
