Tired of hiking sunglasses that fall off your face? Or have you ever gone through crazy weather and challenging terrain on your outdoor adventures without having a reliable pair of hiking sunglasses?

We've been there! It’s not fun to hike without sunglasses that offer you protection from the elements; nor is it fun to constantly adjust your sliding sunglasses. If you love camping and hiking, you probably know just how important it is to have the right gear and sunglasses are no different.

A high-quality, impact resistant, scratch resistance and properly fitting pair of hiking sunglasses will give you the extra comfort and reliability needed for your outdoor adventure. They are also a necessity to protect your eyes from the sun, wind, glare, or even dirt!

While a specialized pair of sunglasses may be an afterthought when organizing your hiking gear, choosing the right pair can be the difference between a comfortable hiking experience and potential UV damage or other eye irritation from the element.

Your eyes are one of the most fragile parts of your body, and I think we can all agree that it is important to protect them. Slipping or falling on a mountain trail or getting lost in the woods can be a dangerous thing, which is why choosing the correct hiking sunglasses will help you keep your vision clear and protected at all times.

If you're an active, adventurous person who needs a comfortable, stable, and durable pair of sunglasses, we have a great assortment from Rec Specs sunglasses and Switch sunglasses that are purpose-built for all kinds of hiking for your eye protection.
