The Best Sunglasses for Golf

The Best Sunglasses for Golf
With the weather breaking across the country and spring here, now is the time for golfers to begin to hit the links. To properly achieve success on the course, one must obtain the proper equipment to elevate their game. Every piece of equipment is essential, including sunglasses.

Callaway X650 Tour Authentic Sunglasses

The Callaway X650 Tour Authentic Sunglasses are the best it gets when it comes to looks and function. The sleek and lightweight rimless frames made of flexon (a titanium-based memory alloy that is 10 times more flexible than steel and 25 percent lighter than conventional frame metals) provide more comfort and durability than any other pair of golf sunglasses on the market. The neox technology (state-of-the-art lens that blocks 100 percent of harmful blue light rays) blocks more of the light that can cause damage and less of the light you need to see clearly. Other key features include an adjustable nose piece with megol rubber pads, nonslip ear tips, a scratch-resistant hard coat and 100 percent protection from the harmful effects of ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B radiation.

Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Golf Specific Sunglasses

The Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Golf Specific Sunglasses are a new pair designed with some of the most advanced technologies in performance eyewear. The combination of unbeatable clarity because of the outstanding high-definition optics and extreme durability and comfort with the stress-resistant "O Matter" frame give the Flak Jacket XLJ a leg up over most of its competition. The Flak Jacket XLJ meets all of the ANSI Z87.1 (the authority on eye-protection devices) standards for optical precision and impact resistance. The lenses not only are completely interchangeable, allowing optimal performance in any environment, but they also are made of plutonite, which allows complete UV protection, filtering out 100 percent of UVA, UVB and UVC rays. The Iridium lens coating gives the Flak Jacket XLJ immense glare reduction and tuned-light transmission.

Callaway Hybrid Series Golf Sunglasses

The Callaway Hybrid Series Golf Sunglasses are Callaway's newest frames with the perfect fusion of magnesium and high-tech alloys, which create superior weight distribution, strength, durability and comfort. Similar to the X650 Tour Authentic Sunglasses, the Hybrid Series Golf Sunglasses feature neox-technology lenses, which are engineered to block more of the harmful light and less of the helpful light. The Hybrid also shares the adjustable megol rubber-nose piece and rubber-ear grips with the X650 Tour Authentic. The Hybrid Series Golf Sunglasses counteract the optical displacement caused by wraparound lenses, which result in sharp and accurate vision. They deliver an amazing combination of supreme clarity and outstanding protection while still providing uncompromised comfort.
