Key Features & Benefits of Zunnies for Runners

  • Lightweight Frames for Maximum Comfort: Zunnies are crafted with lightweight materials that provide a barely-there feel, ensuring that your sunglasses won’t distract you during your run. Whether you’re going for a quick jog or tackling a marathon, you’ll appreciate the ultra-lightweight design that minimizes pressure on your nose and ears, making them ideal for long-distance runners.
  • Anti-Slip, Anti-Bounce Fit: When you’re on the move, the last thing you need is your sunglasses slipping down your nose or bouncing around as you pick up the pace. Zunnies are engineered with an anti-slip, anti-bounce design, featuring rubberized nose pads and temple tips to secure the fit.
  • UV Protection & Polarization: Running outdoors means exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays, which can lead to eye strain and long-term damage. Zunnies have you covered with 100% UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful rays as you run through different environments. Plus, the polarized lenses reduce glare, enhancing visual clarity and comfort.
  • Anti-Fog Technology for Clear Vision: Humidity, sweat, and rapid changes in temperature can quickly fog up your sunglasses, creating frustrating distractions and compromising your visibility. Zunnies are equipped with anti-fog lenses, ensuring that your vision stays crystal clear in all conditions.
  • Photochromic Lenses: As any runner knows, the lighting can change dramatically during a run. A sunny afternoon can quickly turn into a cloudy evening, and the changing light conditions can make it hard to see. Zunnies come with photochromic lenses that automatically adjust to shifting light.

We’ve designed Zunnies with a variety of lens color options to suit different lighting and terrain conditions. Choose the perfect lens color for your next run!

Amber Lenses: Boost Contrast on Trails

For trail runners, amber lenses provide excellent contrast in variable light conditions. They help you spot obstacles like rocks, roots, and uneven ground with greater clarity. The warm tint enhances depth perception, allowing you to navigate tricky trails with more confidence.

Gray Lenses: Ideal for Bright Sun

If you’re running under the full glare of the midday sun, gray lenses are the perfect choice. They reduce overall brightness while maintaining natural color balance, so you can see clearly even in intense sunlight. Gray lenses are also great for reducing eye strain and protecting against the harsh rays of the sun.

Yellow Lenses: Perfect for Low-Light Conditions

For early morning runs or evening jogs, yellow lenses are ideal. They enhance contrast and depth perception in low-light conditions, improving your vision on overcast days or when you’re running into twilight. With yellow lenses, you can tackle the roads safely when visibility is limited.
