1. HOW TO BUY THE BEST
SUNGLASSES
By: The House

2. Important Questions to Ask
• What type of lens should I choose?
• What type of material is the lens made from?
• What color do I want the lens to be?
• Do they provide protection from UV radiation?
• What kind of frame do I want?
• What is the material used in the frame?
• Where will I wear my sunglasses the most?
• How do my sunglasses fit?

3. Glass Lenses
• Glass is one of the
most common
materials for
sunglasses because it
is scratch resistant.
The downside,
however, is that it can
be more costly and
heavier to wear.

4. Polycarbonate Lenses
• Although they aren’t
completely scratch
resistant, polycarbonate
lenses are a great
choice for sunglasses if
you’re looking for a
cheaper alternative to
the glass lens. They are
also beneficial because
they are of a lighter
weight than the glass
lenses.

5. NXT Polyurethane Lenses
• NXT Polyurethane is
perhaps the best material
to choose when it comes
to sunglass lens. This
material allows for high
visibility, resistance to
scratches, and they are
also very light weight.
Unfortunately these are
not the most cost efficient
sunglasses, but many
would agree they are well
worth the steep price.

6. Acrylic Lenses
• Acrylic lenses are
perhaps the cheapest
sunglass lenses
available. However, they
do not provide as much
durability as more
expensive lenses do.
These are meant for
individuals who just
need a pair of
sunglasses to get by
with or those who do not
plan on wearing their
sunglasses often.

7. Brown, Gray, and Green Lenses
• When choosing the color
of your sunglass lenses
it is important to
consider where you will
where them and for
what. Brow, gray, or
green lenses are ideal
for hiking,
skateboarding, biking,
wakeboarding, and other
outdoor activities. This is
because they block out
the brightness of the sun
without distorting color.

8. Yellow and Rose Tinted Lenses
• If you plan on
participating in winter
sports such as
snowboarding or
skiing, you may want
to choose a yellow or
rose tinted lens. These
colors help to enhance
contours where there
is minimal light.

9. Mirrored Lenses
• Be cautious of choosing
mirrored lens
sunglasses. While they
do a good job of
deflecting sun light, they
can cause problems by
making things appear
darker than they actually
are. Instead of choosing
mirrored lens
sunglasses you might be
better off with polarized
lenses.

10. UV Ray Protection
• Nearly all sunglasses
come with lenses that
are equipped with UV
Ray protection. This is
essential because it
protects your eyes
from sun damage. The
higher the level of UV
Ray protection, the
better.

11. Metal Frames
• Metal is one of the most
common materials to
use for sunglass frames.
This is because it is
extremely easy to adjust
and allows for high
visibility. While these
sunglasses are often a
bit on the pricey side,
they do not offer much
durability. These are not
recommended for
extended outdoor wear.

12. Nylon Frames
• Nylon may not be the
most comfortable
material for your
sunglass frames, but
they are still very
beneficial for outdoor
wear. They are very
durable even in harsh
conditions. Nylon is
also a very light weight
material.

13. How Should My Sunglasses Fit?
• For the best fit, sunglasses should fit tightly around your
ears and nose without pinching your skin. They should not
brush up against your eyelashes or fall from your face.
Opt for a lightweight pair of sunglasses for maximum
comfort.
