Adult Sunglasses

Sports sunglasses should sit snugly on your face without pinching your temples or pressing on your nose. Shake your head and jog in place: they shouldn't bounce or slide down. The lenses should cover your eyes fully when you look up at a fly ball, and your eyelashes shouldn't touch them. Brands like Pit Viper offer narrow and wide frames to match different face sizes. Shop all adult sunglasses.

Pit Viper Originals come in two frame widths. The Original Narrow suits smaller and medium faces, and the Original Wide gives more room for larger heads and a bigger lens area. Many styles, like The 1993, The Leonardo and The Hotshot, are available in both sizes. If your current sunglasses feel tight at the temples, choose Wide; if they slide or gap at the sides, choose Narrow.

Both are large shield-style Oakley sunglasses with excellent coverage. The Sutro has a full frame around the lens. The Sutro Lite has an open, frameless bottom edge, which makes it lighter and gives you a clearer view below, useful when you look down at the ball in your glove or at your feet on the bases. Both are available with Prizm Field lenses made for baseball.

Yes. Many hitters wear sunglasses at the plate during day games, as long as they fit comfortably under the batting helmet. Models with thin, low-profile temples work best. Other players prefer to rest their sunglasses on the brim of their cap while hitting and pull them down in the field. Try your sunglasses with your helmet before game day.

Yes. All our sport sunglasses work for softball and baseball, and models like the Easton Shield Softball Sunglasses are designed with fastpitch players in mind. Players with smaller faces can also look at narrow frames, like the Pit Viper Original Narrow, or at our youth sunglasses, which fit many adults with petite faces.

Rinse the lenses with lukewarm water to remove dirt and sweat, then dry them with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid wiping them with your shirt or paper towels, which can scratch lens coatings. Store your sunglasses in their case or pouch in your bag, and don't leave them on a car dashboard, where heat can damage the frame and lenses. Find replacements in our sunglasses collection.
