{"id":3256,"count":96,"description":"When testing running sunglasses, we focus on five main categories: Comfort, Security of Fit, Lenses, Peripheral Vision and Wind Protection\/Coverage. We feel like with these categories, it touches on all the crucial information you need to make an informed decision when looking to purchase sunglasses. We also focused on two main types of sunglasses, casual and performance. There is a proliferation of \u201ccasual\u201d styled sunglasses that also offer high performance features. We tested more than 15 pairs of sunglasses and narrowed it down to top eight performers. For this specific test, we used three testers of varying running ability in very different conditions. We tested in the Rocky Mountains, Pacific Northwest, and Southeast. Each with very different demands on sunglasses and each one on both trails and roads. The testing ran for long time, from April to October. Each tester wore each pair of sunglasses for a few weeks and in as many different situations as possible. From long runs, speed sessions, bike riding, while driving or hiking, in the rain and bright sun, at dawn and dusk, every situation was covered.\r\n\r\nOverall, with this test, you definitely see the performance orientated sunglasses outperforming the casual sunglasses but people also want stylish sunglasses that can go from the trail to bar or to any normal day to day activity. The sunglasses tested range in price from $100 to $250 so they are not budget sunglasses, but it was clear throughout the test, you generally get what you pay for.","link":"https:\/\/gearinstitute.com\/running\/running-sunglasses\/","name":"Running Sunglasses","slug":"running-sunglasses","taxonomy":"category","parent":2445,"meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Best Running Sunglasses | Reviews and Buying Advice | Gear Institute<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our experts extensively field-tested the best Running Sunglasses of the year and rated the best based on transparent, objective criteria.
