What Makes Baseball Sunglasses Different?
More than just a fashion statement, sunglasses are essential for health, perception, and focus. SunGod Lenses improve contrast, making colours bolder while blocking harmful UV sun rays. This improves a variety of daily tasks such as driving and helps to reduce eye strain on a sunny day. Polarized lenses are also available across our custom Lifestyle Sunglasses, eliminating glare and delivering vivid vision.
Beyond this, baseball sunglasses have the potential to elevate your game and make a statement, both on the pitch and in the bleachers. As outlined in our comprehensive guide to baseball sunglasses, at SunGod we know that whether you're on the pitch or spectating, quality eyewear is a must. When you're in the market for a pair of baseball sunglasses, there are key features every baseball fan or player should look out for. These include:
100% UV protection for long training periods and game days
Increased stability, for secure wear during intense action on the pitch
Enhanced clarity for improved performance and focus
Complete coverage, for physical protection from dust and debris
Lenses for any light condition, from bright sunshine to evening games
A style that supports your team - like our sunglasses for the New York Yankees, LA Dodgers and more
5 Key Features of Baseball Sunglasses
1. Unbeatable clarity for a clear view of the pitch
At SunGod, we understand the need for enhanced vision to elevate your experience of the game, whether you’re a player or spectator. Lighter and tougher than industry standard polycarbonate, our signature 8KO® 2mm Nylon Lens Technology provides unrivaled optical clarity at every corner of the diamond. All SunGod lenses are scratch-resistant so long-lasting performance and consistent visual clarity are guaranteed. This is paired with our ultra-light frames, designed to feel weightless with no distractions so you can immerse yourself in the game. Whether you choose our Pace Series™ performance sunglasses or Lifestyle Series™ everyday sunglasses, these sunglasses are designed to elevate your game-day experience.
2. Lens tints for every environment
Lens tint is paramount for identifying every contour of the pitch, ensuring you never miss a catch. Boost color contrast and depth perception with our range of tint options, from everyday wear to intense sunlight. Whether you opt for one of our reflective mirrored options, like our Silver Blue Lens, or classic non-mirrored, such as our Smoke Lens, you’ll have a great view of the pitch. Photochromic Lenses, such as our Iris™ Smoke and Iris™ HV Blue, offer a UV-reactive tint that seamlessly adapts to changing light conditions, ensuring optimal vision without interrupting your focus from dawn to dusk.
To fit versatile light conditions, interchangeable Lens Replacement Kits in a variety of tints are available, allowing you to switch up your lenses pitchside.
3. Protection from every angle and position
SunGod’s Lifestyle and Pace Series™ sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays with 100% UV-protected lenses, essential for training and rest days in the sun. Not only do SunGods shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, but they are also built to withstand the impact of the game. All our lenses are certified shatterproof, and frames are impact-resistant. They also offer maximum coverage, creating a protective barrier for your eyes from debris and dust from the pitch, making them essential for safe gameplay. To learn more about UV protection and why it's important when you're choosing your next pair of sunglasses, head to our Complete Guide to UV Protection.
If you’re after a pair with a wraparound Lens that will give you a wide field of vision and maximum coverage, the Airas™ will be perfect for you. For those seeking a pair with a more casual look, our Renegades™ and Zephyrs™ are classic choices, available fully custom and in Limited Edition MLB team styles.
And of course, all SunGod products are backed by our Lifetime Guarantee, which allows you to enjoy the game with no concerns about damaging your sunglasses.
4. Wraparound Lens Shape For a Wide Field of Vision
For maximum coverage and protection, our wraparound Lenses promise an uninterrupted field of vision, essential for ball-tracking and sharp reaction times. If you’re after a wide visor design with Top and Full Frame options, the Vulcans™ are right for you.
Alternatively, if a frameless design is your style, the Ultras™ or Airas™ are the styles for you, promising a sleek fit and maximum airflow.
5. Support features for stability, whether you’re diving for a ball or cheering on the sidelines
Stability is key for focus and eliminating the need to adjust your sunglasses during critical moments. SunGod's signature Grip-Lock™ technology guarantees a secure, no-bounce fit. Hydrophilic nose pads hold your glasses firmly in place no matter how much you sweat, eliminating distractions and ensuring optimal performance. Experience comfort and style with performance models like our Velans™, complete with custom Ear Socks available in a range of colours. If you’re looking for lifestyle sunglasses with added support on the nose pad and arms, our Tempests™ are for you.
