Running Sunglasses Recommendations?!

Hi,

I'm a season late on this but can anyone recommend some good but cheap running sunglasses (preferably that I can get on Amazon?) I'm not fussy (definitely under £20) but overwhelmed by choice and all I really want is some grip on the nose and ears so they don't fall down when my nose gets sweaty!

Thanks!

Sarah

I use ones that are for construction workers. They grip well but are designed for all day comfort and hard graft. Very cheap over here compared to any others also. Try a "big box" builders supply store for them or your local hardware shop :)

Aha! My partner is an engineer and I've just asked him if he has any glasses I could use for running, and he says he does! Thank you for the tip :)

Try Halfords. They have a great range aimed at cyclists but good prices. Maybe try a wrap around. That said, I use my old Raybans, they never move even if i have them on top of my head. Its the fit that matters. This time of year the sun is low so shades are great!

Raybans. When you are dressed like a harlequin you've got to consider your options.

I have some wraparound sunglasses by sunwise which are fab. They do not move during my run and some have interchangeable lenses for different light types. I picked up mine for about £17 and hubs ones were similar price.

I too have some Sunwise Windrush ones with three sets of lenses. They are fab!☺

I wear glasses so I have to get prescription ones. I currently have ray bans that I love. The main thing is to get them tight enough that they don't bounce or rub... much the same with tops and trousers!!!
