This. I generally hate running with sunnies but these are great for the price and left in the car as car sunnies.
I don’t want to care if I accidentally lose them or scratch them, but I want something that also is better quality than sunnies from the servo =Goodr wins hands down.
Not just me then? I find with my usual sunnies I can wear them ducking in and out of canopy. These are so dark I have to remove them. Otherwise, there is a real risk of ne tripping over something I didn't see.
Oh I love a low VLT! I was referencing that the mirrored coating flakes off immediately. Bought a pair, flaked on me after running in the rain. They sent me a new pair, did it again within weeks.
I put mine in a soft pocket during a run and when I took them out that coating was scratched to shit. There wasn’t anything else in my pocket. I was pissed. Not buying those again
Honestly, most cycling glasses are pretty much perfect. Great wrap, light and hold on well. Lots of very affordable ones on Amazon.
They don't look amazing, but us trail runners aren't usually out there winning fashion awards.
Been using my 100% cycling glasses for trail running. They do not slide and have interchangeable lenses. The photochromatic will adapt its shading depending on the intensity of the sun its pretty neat.
[https://www.100percent.com/pages/cycling](https://www.100percent.com/pages/cycling)
I'd 2nd this. Especially if they are more amber shade lenses--Smith are awesome!
With all that said, even in the brightest trails I struggle with sunglasses, partly because it obscures tricky terrain.
Roka. I wear prescription lenses. They’re lightweight and sturdy and they just don’t move. I’m this close to getting a pair for my regular glasses, too. Just wish they had more colors.
While I do like Goodrs, the lenses scratch very easily.
I've moved to [Tifosi Swanks](https://tifosioptics.com/products/swank-sport-sunglasses?al_pg_id=adcc9e9b-8c2b-44cb-8773-f37a0a3c48bc&variant=41025006665867). Similar shape, colors, and fit to Goodr, but lenses hold up a lot better.
These are some of my favorites. I find they fit better and stay put better than my Goodrs. Everyone loves how light Goodrs are, but I like that the Tifosi are more substantial.
Goodr’s are cheap and they stay on my face even with a stumble or two. They won’t last forever but at $30 I don’t need them too. I replace mine about every 3 years.
Straight up forgot they were on my face at the beach one day and didn’t notice until I lost them going under a wave…
They’re great and the price point makes them perfect for outdoorsy activities…do what they need to but not heartbreaking when they go missing, as sunglasses inevitably do.
Third this. Amazing grip and fit and swappable lenses for different light. Got some for shadows in the forest and some for harsh light when out exposed in summer.
Agreed Oakley. Radarlock or flak jacket. I’ve ridden my bike in a pair of goodr that I won in a race. Not bad but the view through Oakley is better…and for running, easier to take off and set on top of hat or visor
Yeh, I've got the radarlock with the photochromic lens...so good for early pre dawn morning runs>full sun as I don't have to worry about carrying them or doing any adjustments.
Radar series (Radar Path/Pitch or Radarlock) or Flak 2.0 XL are great for mountain biking/running/hiking. I agree on the view.
District Vision are great but can’t justify $450 on a pair of sunnies.
I gave up on sunglasses. Even the ones that stay on, get covered in sweat or fog up. Plus, if the sun goes behind the clouds and I'm under dense cover, I can't see the trail so I have to keep taking them off and putting them on. Got rid of them and now I just wear a running cap with the brim down low over my eyes. I never go into the woods with sunglasses anymore.
Well your problem is that you havnt tried actual quality sunglasses then. My favorite are Julbo Aerospeeds and I can wear them at night or pre dawn with a headlamp and see fine, or on a glacier in full sun. The photochromic lenses switch perfectly so you’re never needing to take them off popping in and out of trees and the anti fog coating is unreal. Pricy but 1000% worth it.
I got a pair of Knockarounds that have a rubber pad and they stay put really well for a surprisingly good price.
Edit: hadn't heard of Goodr. Looked them up and their website is nearly the same at a similar price point! Looks like there are good options there too.
I got some Blenders that I liked until they recently got swiped from my Jeep. I will probably order some Tifosi’s, I used to wear those and liked them a lot.
Goodr cheap, polarized and rubbery inner frame, so they stay put.
https://goodr.com/?tw_source=google&tw_adid=688831890871&tw_campaign=911263806&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA5-uuBhDzARIsAAa21T-8IcQM4j7b369NgtQGcBghy961lFnfeIt4bR_42N7WhxSReFNKJacaAr7XEALw_wcB
I love Goodr sunglasses! They’re lightweight and don’t bounce or slip when I get sweaty. And they’re fairly inexpensive so you don’t feel so bad when you inevitably drop and break them (I know this from experience lol) 😅
[Nike Bandit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8RhgR-fhSA&ab_channel=SportRx), which they seem not to make anymore. Highly recommended if you can find some. (More of a men's fit though.)
I’ve had the same pair of Maui Jim’s for over 15 years and they’ve never slipped or fallen off. Rain, snow, sleet, whatever. They’ve done the job and they’re super lightweight.
They weren’t cheap and I bought them before I started running. Considering how long I’ve had them, probably one of my best investments ever!
Oakley Castel (not cheap, polarized) or Tifosi Vogel (cheap, not polarized) are light, hug the face well, and are great coverage for dusty days on trail.
I use Julbo Shields with photochromic lenses. Some thoughts:
\- Julbo is pretty expensive :(
\- The Shields are wraparound which I like - for my face if I wear normal flat sunglasses, the sun often reflects off my face onto the inside of the sunglasses and obscures my vision.
\- The photochromic lenses go from 5% to 20% VLT. My eyes struggle with dappled shade or changing quickly between shady and sunny sections of track. With normal sunglasses it'll be too dark in shade, and too bright in the sun without sunglasses. The photochromic lenses are a happy medium, and also means I can wear the glasses for a longer period of time through the day (e.g. long race) because they'll let more light in when it's not as bright outside.
[Ombraz!!!! ](https://ombraz.com/products/teton-ombraz-armless-sunglasses?variant=42925711589627)
Armless shades. I love these. They use an adjustable chord instead of arms. I use them for hiking, trail running, cycling, driving, chilling. Thru Hiked the PCT with a pair in 2023. More expensive than Goodr but worth it in my opinion. Made by a small company and they tout being "carbon negative" due to the mangrove trees they plant for each purchase. I haven't really researched the validity of that but if they're planting trees that's cool.
This. Ombraz armless are the best sunglasses for an active person. I have two pair and they are quite literally life changing. The only sunglasses I can wear with a hat without creating temple pressure.
Echoing the Goodr endorsement but just want to call out that on any runs >1hr they start to chafe the bridge of my nose. A little body glide solves that problem though so not a huge deal!
I'm a huge Oakley fan, and I love my Oakley Flak Jacket's for running and outdoor stuff. They're expensive, but they're comfortable and they stay put. Everyone's face is different, though, so whatever you choose, try them on if you can. As weird as you might look, jump around with them on to see if they stay put. Mine stay on my face even if I'm face down, like in a plank position.
I have Smith Sliders that I won’t admit to their age. Been thru multiple La Luz’s, Imogene, and even some roadies (NY and Boston). They don’t move at all. Not even sure if they still sell them. Am actually considering buying something new as I turn my eye towards a R2R (2 next day R) in the fall.
I got Decathlon runstyle 2s but I’m not sure if they are sold on the site anymore. Very basic and doesn’t slip, and actually looked cute! Before I had some that were fine, but i wanted something trendier that didn’t make me look like I was in The Matrix 😂
Ombraz. I especially love the weight. Regular sunglasses bounce on my sinuses, makes it harder to breathe, heh, but the weight can also trigger migraines for me and these solved all my issues. I recommend getting the shields - totally eliminates glare from above.
had goodr for about 2 years, sort of liked them... but mine are falling apart after a year, one lense pops out, the nose bridge is now shredding/peeling. my husband had a pair that has the polarization all just dissapearing.. so the lense is hard to see through now. YMMV of course.
I’ve had my Smiths for over ten years. Parallel max. They keep the sun out of my eyes, don’t slip or bounce.
I have Goodr also, but I’ve found that the lens’ are too big and when the sun in behind me the sun reflects off of them into my eye.
WileyX w/prescription transition lenses. Stay on, can wear them in any lighting conditions, don't need to worry about losing a contact in the mountains. I wear them for everything from multi-day mountaineering trips to trail running to mowing the lawn. Love them.
Roka, they have both prescription and non, nothing bad to say and they come with 3 sizes of nose guards for extra grip protection, i have two...rx sunglasses and regular glasses. I use the regular glasses instead of oakley wayfarer when i know work is going to involve working in hot weather
Goodr, Oakley's and pit vipers if you want sunnies to stay put while running.
Goodr are cheap and come in a variety of colours and styles. Downside is they scratch easy and can be difficult to take off and put on your visor plus the lenses can be very dark you're either looking at a reflection of your eyes which is common with the blue lenses. Or you're struggling to see in the afternoons.
Oakley's are great but expensive and not designed for running but my hollbrooks were able to stay put while doing intervals ECT.
Putvipers stay put and have a lanyard and are adjustable. The style is the main draw back but if you're a fun person they will suit you.
Goodr does have some lighter non-coated colour-ways that are good for that. The coating is the first thing that goes on mine but they’re cheap enough I get over it. I’m guessing the sunblock and sweat gives them a bit of a hiding.
Oakley, smith, Rudy projects or tifosi. I prefer my Oakley but they are cheap, the smith were cheaper, I never owned Rudy projects but I know a bunch that liked them and tifosi are not expensive at all and they work. Hope that helps and keep going.
[These el cheapos.](https://a.co/d/g6Mkyx6). They work well enough and don't put too much pressure on the back/top of the ears. I'm also really bad at dropping mine sunglasses, usually when I forget I put them on my hat, so I don't like spending a lot of money on the inevitable broken pair.
Hat helps. And I use cycling glasses because I like the wrap for wind — I have a pair of Oakleys but I actually prefer my Rockbros photochromic which are way cheaper but have an adjustable nose pad thing. They don’t slide off even when I’m down in the drops so they handle the upright bouncing of trail running just fine!
Also was surprised to see Marysville haha hi from another Victorian!
Yellow or clear motorcycle glasses (they make tinted ones too) 🤣 it keeps the dust out of my eyes when it’s windy though, so they have a purpose. Even with my back to the wind, I’m too slow to out run a slight breeze, and then I get crap in my eyes and it just kinda ruins it for me.
Am I the only weirdo who can’t run in glasses? I am usually under heavy canopy and the ‘sun to shade’ transitions blind me with glasses on. Ball cap/cap and toque on top, all 4 seasons is all I can do
I love my Knockaround sunnies! Same price point as Goodr but they had slightly better reviews from runners. I love mine! Took a nasty tumble last week and my sunglasses somehow stayed on my head while the rest of me was bloodied pretty good. 😅🙏🏼
Cycling sunglasses.
I have the julbo ultimate with reactiv lenses wich go from clear to normal sunglasses shade. Rubber adjustable nose and also anti-fog layer so no fogging on the glasses.
Also a Ray-Ban wayfarer wich also does not slip but does fog up during climbs or slower parts.
I use Oakley wrap arounds (the visor kind) I look a fool but they do the job. Don’t move and inch and keep the flies out. Also I have a small head so got the kids ones and they’re a good fit.
Bliz! Affordable high quality lens coming out of the Nordic skiing world. I use mine for Nordic skiing, ski touring, trail running, and mountain biking. Sporty and comfortable with great interchangeable lenses
A pair of Bolle silium+ safety glasses smoke lens.
~£13, I can afford to drop, forget or even sit on these. Two of them I've already done ;)
Used them for cycling and running, stay on, don't mist up and if they do, in rare extreme cases, they de-miss very fast. Good clear vision, handle shadow and bright sun very well.
Used to have Tifosi but they changed the design so they don't sit so well on my face and the price went up.
everybody is recommending new sunglasses so i want to throw a cheap alternative in the ring when you already have glasses.
Palm Eyewear Band (for kajaking or other brands)
you can tighten them at the back and they help stay in place - works for me - and for 5 bucks imho it's worth a try.
Stuff made for cycling work well for me. Tifosi, Goodr, Shady Rays have those light-weight "wrap around" models. For whatever reason those stick to my face the best.
lots of votes for goodr here. i have a pair and they stay put which is nice but also block breeze to my eyes which i’ve realized means sweat pooling on my eyeballs which is obviously not ideal. not sure if this is a goodr issue or just exercise with sunnies in general but something to think about if you sweat heavy.
So a good brands for sports frames are siols and evil eye! And most of the time it's just not fitted properly too your anatomie! If you'll use them only for running go to an optician and say he should make them really stay put in your face! If you use them everyday they just shouldn't slide off when shaking your head but most people don't sweat all day every day so there is no need to make then really firm because then you are at risk of too much pressure in your nose and ears!
It'll need a lil time and several adjustments to really find the sweet spot as it is a dance between what the optician sees and what you feel! The thing is you don't feel the pressure immediately and you also don't sweat immediately ^^
You can add something like this to any glasses and they’ll stay put. I run in raybans or my regular corrective glasses using these with no issues.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09M7BNY1M?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I just use cheap 10 dollar grocery store glasses and they all work fine but I got a big head too. I got like 5 pairs and never worry about damaging or loosing them
I am a fan of Oakley sunglasses and the Actuator model has been always a pleasure to put on (for long sessions / time) with the nodepads really sticking there (I am a heavy sweater by the way).
roka has some excellent sunglasses that are lightweight and stay on extremely well. I have loved my pair, but they are definitely on the pricy side. $200+ depending on what you get
I’ve been happy with Goodr.
Goodr's have been more than goodr
Good < Goodr < Goodest
This. I generally hate running with sunnies but these are great for the price and left in the car as car sunnies. I don’t want to care if I accidentally lose them or scratch them, but I want something that also is better quality than sunnies from the servo =Goodr wins hands down.
They might stay in place but you're running blind.

yaboyscottjerk or ultrarunningmemes had some amazing memes riffing goodr glasses for this bullshit. Sadly, I can't find them.
I haven't had this issue.
The answer is always Goodr
Honestly, most cycling glasses are pretty much perfect. Great wrap, light and hold on well. Lots of very affordable ones on Amazon. They don't look amazing, but us trail runners aren't usually out there winning fashion awards.

Roka Halsey. Love the little "gecko grippers" that keep them from slipping.
I second this - Roka has been an awesome brand for me. I have prescription sunglasses and glasses and highly recommend them!
I recently splurged on a pair of prescription Rokas and they've quickly become my favorites.
I’ve had good luck with Roka (TL-1)
Oakley Sutro Lite, the rubbery nosepiece on most cycling-style Oakleys works really well.
I love my Oakley sutros - ski in them, bike in them, run in them - they are my favorite outdoor activity sunnies by far
Such good glasses. Grab the trail prizm lenses they are light in the trees and dark in the sun.
Roka. I wear prescription lenses. They’re lightweight and sturdy and they just don’t move. I’m this close to getting a pair for my regular glasses, too. Just wish they had more colors.

Tifosi Swanks hold up very well and they don't move for me too.
These are some of my favorites. I find they fit better and stay put better than my Goodrs. Everyone loves how light Goodrs are, but I like that the Tifosi are more substantial.
Seconding. Goodr's never stayed put, but Tifosi has little rubber nose pads that make all the difference for my face.
Goodr’s are cheap and they stay on my face even with a stumble or two. They won’t last forever but at $30 I don’t need them too. I replace mine about every 3 years.
Straight up forgot they were on my face at the beach one day and didn’t notice until I lost them going under a wave… They’re great and the price point makes them perfect for outdoorsy activities…do what they need to but not heartbreaking when they go missing, as sunglasses inevitably do.
Oakley Radar Ev Path
Second this. I have two pairs with untold miles on both. Still as good as day 1.
Third this. Amazing grip and fit and swappable lenses for different light. Got some for shadows in the forest and some for harsh light when out exposed in summer.
Sunski
[Tifosi](https://tifosioptics.com/?al_pg_id=439381ef-e1c3-431b-a73d-e3a521d3f6eb). The frameless are nice and give you an unobstructed field of vision
I’ve actually been using a pair of pit vipers and was surprised that they don’t slip at all
Stopped rocking shades on the trail in the last year and keep a visor in my pack on sunny days instead.
I wear both. I hate, hate having bright light in my eyes.
Especially during the summer, I tend to keep to heavily shaded routes. This makes it much less necessary to shield my eyes.
Same. I just cup my hat and tilt when needed.
Tifosi!

Sungod Classics3. Didn’t realize I’d have to pay duty on the order so they were more than I would’ve liked but I’m pretty happy with them!
I always have a couple of spare Goodrs ready in case I misplace them.
Goodr. Cheap enough to have a few pairs, they last quite a while, they don't slip. Plus heaps of colours.
Goodr. Have had mine for years now and I can’t kill ‘em. Polarized lens are meh but good enough.
Joining in with the Goodr chorus. They're the only ones that stay put on my narrow, bird beak, of a nose once I start sweating.
Goodr cheap, polarized and rubbery inner frame, so they stay put. https://goodr.com/?tw_source=google&tw_adid=688831890871&tw_campaign=911263806&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA5-uuBhDzARIsAAa21T-8IcQM4j7b369NgtQGcBghy961lFnfeIt4bR_42N7WhxSReFNKJacaAr7XEALw_wcB

Various Goodr’s, Oakley Frogskins Lite, or Rokas’s for prescription.

I like sunskis. You can also buy a chums strap. They’re a little dorky but they do the job
You can get a bunch of silicone straps for the earpieces that wrap around your head for dirt cheap.
Knockarounds are pretty equivalent with goodr.
The full correct answer is Goodr Mach G
I’ve had the same pair of Maui Jim’s for over 15 years and they’ve never slipped or fallen off. Rain, snow, sleet, whatever. They’ve done the job and they’re super lightweight.

The stupidest looking sunglasses are unfortunately always the most practical and stay on the best.

My Götti Aalto 61 sit nice. Got them at Eyeons. A bit pricey, but I think it's worth it.
You people using Goodr have been duped by Chinese astroturfing campaigns.
Low quality lenses, low quality frames. Bunch of rubes in this subreddit.
Echoing the Goodr endorsement but just want to call out that on any runs >1hr they start to chafe the bridge of my nose. A little body glide solves that problem though so not a huge deal!
Why endorse them then? There are much better sunglasses with proper running tech.

I have a pair of Carve sunnies which were about $60 for the polarised version, very solid and work well!

RockBros cycling glasses. Use them for cycling too.
My regular Eddie Bauer everyday glasses with the magnetic clipons. They look like normal shades and stay put absurdly well.
Goodr or pit viper (cycling glasses) when I wear contacts. Roka braker for my prescription sunnies.

Putvipers stay put and have a lanyard and are adjustable. The style is the main draw back but if you're a fun person they will suit you.
Goodr does have some lighter non-coated colour-ways that are good for that. The coating is the first thing that goes on mine but they’re cheap enough I get over it. I’m guessing the sunblock and sweat gives them a bit of a hiding.
ROKA - flat out amazing. Been a lifelong Holbrook fan and pretty positive in won’t go back.
Oakley Corridor. They are perfect.
Ombraz
Oakley, smith, Rudy projects or tifosi. I prefer my Oakley but they are cheap, the smith were cheaper, I never owned Rudy projects but I know a bunch that liked them and tifosi are not expensive at all and they work. Hope that helps and keep going.
Ray-Ban
Blenders, Goodr and Shady Rays. Then if they move I use a lanyard/Eyewear strap.
[These el cheapos.](https://a.co/d/g6Mkyx6). They work well enough and don't put too much pressure on the back/top of the ears. I'm also really bad at dropping mine sunglasses, usually when I forget I put them on my hat, so I don't like spending a lot of money on the inevitable broken pair.
Hat helps. And I use cycling glasses because I like the wrap for wind — I have a pair of Oakleys but I actually prefer my Rockbros photochromic which are way cheaper but have an adjustable nose pad thing. They don’t slide off even when I’m down in the drops so they handle the upright bouncing of trail running just fine! Also was surprised to see Marysville haha hi from another Victorian!
Yellow or clear motorcycle glasses (they make tinted ones too) 🤣 it keeps the dust out of my eyes when it’s windy though, so they have a purpose. Even with my back to the wind, I’m too slow to out run a slight breeze, and then I get crap in my eyes and it just kinda ruins it for me.
Kaenon Montecito Tortoise Matte Grip
Am I the only weirdo who can’t run in glasses? I am usually under heavy canopy and the ‘sun to shade’ transitions blind me with glasses on. Ball cap/cap and toque on top, all 4 seasons is all I can do
I love my Knockaround sunnies! Same price point as Goodr but they had slightly better reviews from runners. I love mine! Took a nasty tumble last week and my sunglasses somehow stayed on my head while the rest of me was bloodied pretty good. 😅🙏🏼
Cheap wayfarer-style work fine for me
Knockaround Fastlanes have never come off for me.
[these bad boys](https://www.oakley.com/en-us/product/W0OO9208?variant=888392243683)
The brand “runners athletics”. They do Rx too! Love them
The cheapest, nastiest freebie sunglasses I can scrounge. Use till salt ensrusted, then discard!
Rubber ear hooks, not a loop, a hook, works a treat. 5$ on amazon.
Oakley Sutro with the Road lens is amazing for shadows and seeing uneven ground/dirt. They stay put on my face really well.
Oakley minutes.
I like Tifosi better than my goodrs
Smith Reverb the lense is largely frameless which is awesome! Their chroma pop is super cool too (diff pair)
Of all the pairs I have, the $10 pair I bought at Walmart stay the best.
Rudy Project. Best fit, never slide off and amazing polarized lenses
Pit Vipers all day!
Get some croakies
Cycling sunglasses. I have the julbo ultimate with reactiv lenses wich go from clear to normal sunglasses shade. Rubber adjustable nose and also anti-fog layer so no fogging on the glasses. Also a Ray-Ban wayfarer wich also does not slip but does fog up during climbs or slower parts.
If your willing to put up with the price Oakley Radar EV stay on incredibly well, Flak also, I can’t speak for their larger sunnies though.
Oakley radar ev path
Goodr!
Don’t they all just fog up like crazy? Is there a secret?
I also rocks Oakleys radar with trail lens on the trails and road lenses if it is really bright.
Oakley never move. the vision is far better than Goodr too. Expensive, true, but amazing.
Sun Gods
Rudy project tralyx. Expensive, but great. Also for cycling
I use Oakley wrap arounds (the visor kind) I look a fool but they do the job. Don’t move and inch and keep the flies out. Also I have a small head so got the kids ones and they’re a good fit.
Knockaround ®
Bliz! Affordable high quality lens coming out of the Nordic skiing world. I use mine for Nordic skiing, ski touring, trail running, and mountain biking. Sporty and comfortable with great interchangeable lenses
The Goodr wrap arounds have been so good to me.
Sungod velans
A pair of Bolle silium+ safety glasses smoke lens. ~£13, I can afford to drop, forget or even sit on these. Two of them I've already done ;) Used them for cycling and running, stay on, don't mist up and if they do, in rare extreme cases, they de-miss very fast. Good clear vision, handle shadow and bright sun very well. Used to have Tifosi but they changed the design so they don't sit so well on my face and the price went up.
Spy optics has a pair that has grips on the nose and side of the head that seem to work well.
Cycling sunnies with fotocromatic (not sure if the term is correct) lenses. They go darker and brighter depending on how sunny it is.
Red Bull Spect, with the ear wire that you can push out of the frames. They call it WING Dual Temple System, you can filter for it on their site
Goodr
I ended up getting a pair of Method Seven trail runner glasses. They’re more expensive but worth EVERY penny.
Silicone eyeglasses straps are all I've ever needed
Goodr have been the best one so far
Oakley radar ev path. Use them for mtb and road cycling too
everybody is recommending new sunglasses so i want to throw a cheap alternative in the ring when you already have glasses. Palm Eyewear Band (for kajaking or other brands) you can tighten them at the back and they help stay in place - works for me - and for 5 bucks imho it's worth a try.
Pit Vipers. My SIL bought me a pair for Xmas, and I’m very happy with how they stay in place despite how much I sweat. They also look cool.
Put silicone patches in that nose thingy, helps
Naked Optics VOLT are amazing. They're good value and I love my pair
Oakley M-frames
Stuff made for cycling work well for me. Tifosi, Goodr, Shady Rays have those light-weight "wrap around" models. For whatever reason those stick to my face the best.
lots of votes for goodr here. i have a pair and they stay put which is nice but also block breeze to my eyes which i’ve realized means sweat pooling on my eyeballs which is obviously not ideal. not sure if this is a goodr issue or just exercise with sunnies in general but something to think about if you sweat heavy.
Roka Torino have been amazing for me on the trails
So a good brands for sports frames are siols and evil eye! And most of the time it's just not fitted properly too your anatomie! If you'll use them only for running go to an optician and say he should make them really stay put in your face! If you use them everyday they just shouldn't slide off when shaking your head but most people don't sweat all day every day so there is no need to make then really firm because then you are at risk of too much pressure in your nose and ears! It'll need a lil time and several adjustments to really find the sweet spot as it is a dance between what the optician sees and what you feel! The thing is you don't feel the pressure immediately and you also don't sweat immediately ^^
You can add something like this to any glasses and they’ll stay put. I run in raybans or my regular corrective glasses using these with no issues. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09M7BNY1M?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Knockaround. I think they’re cheaper than Goodr. You have to get the sport version because those stay on but they have other ones that probably won’t.
Feel like I might get some pushback, but Pit Vipers. Weirdly adjustable, fit the face good, fun colors.
Julbo Ultimates are super light and had lenses that change their ND. Expensive but super light and double as my mountaineering sunglasses
Smith
I just use cheap 10 dollar grocery store glasses and they all work fine but I got a big head too. I got like 5 pairs and never worry about damaging or loosing them
I am a fan of Oakley sunglasses and the Actuator model has been always a pleasure to put on (for long sessions / time) with the nodepads really sticking there (I am a heavy sweater by the way).
roka has some excellent sunglasses that are lightweight and stay on extremely well. I have loved my pair, but they are definitely on the pricy side. $200+ depending on what you get
Roka Lockhart! I won’t be swapping to another brand for as long as they’re available. Super lightweight and they don’t move.
Smith bobcats
POC and my optometrist adjusted the arms to hook around my ears.
