Best Sunglasses in 2020 for the Outdoorsmen

 

Whether you are looking for a holiday gift, a birthday present, or preparing for a vacation, sunglasses are always a great idea for any man. They are thoughtful, help to protect the eyes from the sun and the elements, and have so many varieties to choose from depending on what activity they will be used for. Whether he's into golf, climbing mountains, or something in between, we've got you covered.

 

Here's a list of our top picks for Sunglasses for Men (no matter what his activity is)

 

Julbo Sherpa for Mountaineering

 

 

Got a mountaineering guy in your life? These round, traditional mountaineering glasses feature leather side shields and full wrap temples to keep them in place in the most precarious situations. They easily fit under a helmet or hat. Since they let in only 13% of visible light, they are perfect for use in full sun while hiking or climbing even at high altitudes.

 

Tifosi Veloce for Biking, Running, or Golfing

 

 

The Veloce sunglasses from Tifosi is one of the most versatile sunglasses out there. They offer multiple lens colors that can be swapped out depending on your acdtivity and the lighting conditions. No need to carry multiple glasses around. Want to improve your golf or tennis game? Choose the green lens for increased contrast. Biking home from work in the evening? Go for the clear lens. Running on a bright sunny day? Smoke, Blue, Red, or Modulator lenses are perfect. Having a hard time reading the menu at your après-ride restaurant? Veloce sunglasses are also available with Readers. Be sure to check what lenses are included when purchasing your frame - some have one set of lenses, while others come in sets of three.

 

Gargoyle Classic for Military or Hunting/Shooting

 

 

Arnold Schwarzenegger wore Gargoyle Classic sunglasses as The Terminator in the movies, and it's no wonder why. Amazingly sturdy, these sunglasses exceed all ISO and ANSI (work safety) test standards and exceed MIL-STD 622 (Military) ballistic tests. If they're good enough for Arnold (and the military and your workplace), they're good enough for anyone!

 

Panoptx Diablo for Motorcycle Riding

 

 

Whether your motorcycle is a way of life or a casual past-time, you need to protect your eyes from wind, rain, or snow. These flexible, full wrap sunglasses have a sturdy foam around each eyecup to keep out the elements. The lenses options include clear, tinted, photochromic (get lighter or darker depending on the light), and copper (provides more contrast while driving/riding). A really nice feature on the Diablo is the temples can be adjusted to be longer or shorter ensuring a perfect fit under a helmet. Need a prescription lens? No problem - all the lenses can be ordered with your exact prescription.

 

Bolle Anaconda for Boating or Fishing

 

 

When fishing or boating in sunny conditions, a good pair of polarized sunglasses is a must.
