10 Best Under Armour Sunglasses Tested

Features

Because they are smaller, these sunglasses don’t dominate the face as much as the Big Shots, probably because they are cut smaller to enable players to wear caps with the sunglasses while playing.

Very comfortable, employing all the Under Armour customization features.

The Igniter 2.0 sunglasses are available in basic, Storm Polarized and Multiflection versions and reflect good value for the investment. Under Armor offers slightly different models designed for baseball and fishing with appropriate lens colors. For example, the fishing Igniter 2.0 sunglasses are Storm treated and polarized and have very dark lenses as appropriate for people on the water all day.

Materials

Ignighter 2.0 "Multiflection" lenses are resistant to scratching. These lenses allow perception of colors without a darkened effect as is often seen with some brands, with the Ignitor 2 tinting is minimal which in turn avoids perceptual distortion.

Excellent quality clarity and peripheral vision capability with an average of 20% less peripheral vision distortion, upon putting them on, wait a while and it could be easy to forget you are wearing them.

The lenses are tough, durable and extremely well machined with a strength capacity ten times stronger than standard usual lenses made from polycarbonate.

The glasses wrap to the head in a very comfortable hugging hold and there are not any weight issues because they are very light. For the bridge of the nose, a cushioning rubber based material give further stability, comfort and given time the rubber will shape to the contour of the nose bridge. Add to this that the nose cap is adjustable, a really nice useful feature.

Protection

The full range of UV rays blocked the lenses, which means good eye protection.

The Ultra-ArmourFusion frames are so light and unobtrusive that it is a joy to wear them, the frame and both great strength and flexibility and this is a result of titanium engineered with Grilamid. The frames have the rigidity for hold and fit and are also flexible and robust, this is a very good combination.

While you wear them you can stay cool due to the airflow tech designed into the sunglasses. Use them for any outdoor activity or as a casual item on sunny days and certainly comfortable to wear while running.

Size/Fit

The glasses remain flexible and maintain a secure fit due to UA-AUTOGRIP which ensure a comfortable secure hold over the temples.

Cost

Given the features offered with Igniter 2.0, this is a really good model for you to make an investment.

Conclusion

You get a lot of useful features, durability, quality, comfort and high functionality.

Features and Size

This option has the company's ArmourSight advanced lens technology that is designed to give the user extremely clear optics. The lenses are made of a specially engineered plastic that's shatter resistant so they protect your eyes not just from the sun, but from accidents as well. These seem to run a bit small and may not fit athletes with large heads.

Protection and Comfort

The lens coating blocks 100% of UVA, UVC, and UVB rays from the sun. In addition, one user shared their story of tripping and falling on his face while he was running. He broke his eye socket but the lenses of these glasses didn't break and cause further damage. Major points for that. Most users found these a pleasure to wear, mostly due to their light weight and comfortable nose bridge piece.

Style

These are made with classic athletic looks, with the frame on top and the lenses open at the bottom to save on weight.

Features and Size

A cool thing about these is the lenses are Rx-able, meaning they're easily switched out for prescription lenses if necessary. The frame is made with the company's ArmourFusion technology for lightweight strength and their designed to grip your face and head securely but comfortably. A couple of users felt they ran small so if you have a large face/head they may not be the best option.

Protection and Comfort

The lenses block 100% of the sun's harmful rays and the lenses are made of a shatter-resistant composite. Most users found them to feel great while they wore them.

Style

Definitely one of the most stylish options on our list.

Features

I like the feel of these glasses, they give a strong sense of staying power as they hug the contours of the face in an embrace which shouts "I belong here with you and I make you look cool." If it's style that you want, you get it with the Rival!

These stylish sunglasses come in a choice of 5 colors.

I have found that Under Armour have stayed consistent with a focus on durability, the lenses are robust and scratch resistant, I’m not suggesting you can take a knife to them but certainly for encounters such as carrying a pair in your pockets with a few coins, keeping them in the glove compartment in your car where they will slide around or accidentally running into a low hanging branch on a trail run, the lenses will stay intact and undamaged. For times when often running dry dusty trails, the particles of dust which are kicked up will not gradually sandpaper the lens surface.

Considering weight, we get a light frame blending  Amorphous-Thermoplastic (Grilamid) and titanium. This combination results in a high flexibility and means that twisting the frame results in the amorphous qualities working to bring the frame back to its original shape. In short, it acts as a memory template for shape.

The contrast factor view through the lens is generally good in terms of a medium performance range and you get a nice view but be aware that as sunglasses,  if you run on well-shaded trails or paths that the view ahead is darker than usual. So keep your focus on the surface contours ahead and watch out for small easily misjudged overhanging branches as the UA lens reflection qualities are not as good as some other brands, such as the ever popular Costa’s 580s.

This basic Under Armour Rival model is a flashy, multi-sport sunglasses product offering nice fashionable colors and a unique appealing design.

Sizing/Fit

They hug the face and stay in place; if you take a fall the chances are when you stand up the glasses will still be in place. Running, mountain biking, climbing, hiking sturdy trails, these are reliable for fit and will not distract you through not staying put. The grip factor for maintaining size- fit comes from the inclusion of AUTOGRIP a neat technology which ensures that strategically fitted segments fitted to the frame are made from non-slip rubber and work to hug the temples for a secure fit.

Cost

The price is upper mid-range and really does represent value for money. If the price was to be lower it would result in sacrificing the quality standards.

Conclusion

Stylish, practical, durable and long lasting, you can feel that while you enjoy your active sport of choice these sunglasses will serve their purpose admirably well.

Features

The shape feature for this model is rectangular and gives off a unique appealing appearance.  The frames are offered in a broad range of colors, the construction is flexible, strong and stays constant with the use of Grilimid plastic technology. As it's comfortably lightweight, for a stylish finish the frame is semi-rimless. Some of the Zone 2 models are also offered with polarized lenses so that a buyer has choices. Polarized lenses are very effective for blocking the effects of glare caused by car lights or strong direct sunlight. this is really useful if you are out running and heading towards a low setting sun.

Wear these sunglasses for most outdoor sports such as running, climbing, hiking, cycling, baseball, and golf. For those that really want to test performance, you could even wear the version offering polarized lenses for splashing about in the surf at the beach.

Size/Fit

I like the seamless frame structure, it is durable, has a hug style hold for fit and stability. In short, the glasses will not slip or fall off during your athletic activities.

Cost

The cost sits in the middle bracket in terms of the quality, value, comfort, and performance offered.

Conclusion.

A good pair of sunglasses wearable for whichever outdoor sport takes your fancy. They look good; they are durable, comfortable, and present themselves as stylish and sporty.

Features

The attraction to runners of this style lies in the anti-fatigue facilities provided by the polarization and reflective surface. These are a great companion for white-out running, running near large bodies of water or on the beach or for competitions that include water hazards and mud.

With all the features, these look like the sunglasses that the Men in Black wear. Some may find them a little foreboding, but the overall effect is cool.

Even with the features designed to supply comfort, some find these a little heavy. The contrasting viewpoint is that runners do not generally wear sunglasses as long in a day as people who fish, which may account for some of that judgment.

Though the price tag may surprise you, these glasses are packed with features, so this really is a good price for the product.

If not using them for running then this is a model particularly good for those that love fishing. The captain is one of the polarized STORM range being offered from Armour.

The model which attracts the most attention is offered in a black frame color. Despite a sturdy appearance, they are surprisingly light for a model which provides polarized lenses. Further contributing towards the light-weight factor is Armour's use of Grilimid and titanium, this means the frame is flexible but strong.

Fisherman will be pleased to know that these glasses are oil resistant with regards to seawater (containing oil) insect spray, and most other oils which we might encounter. This resistance is a result of a high tech lens technology which has been engineered into the lenses.

When it comes to quality Polaroid lenses, Armour stayed true to providing durability and quality, the lenses block all UVC, UVB, and UVA rays which mean the wearer/fisherman can focus on watching for a fish to bite under those waves which reflect sunlight.

Size/Fit

The Nose-piece feature performs superbly in terms of fit and not slip.  The rubberized nose fitting contains flexible wire so that you can simply and very easily squeeze, bend, manipulate the bridge joint between the glass lenses and shape it to hug the bridge of your nose. Once you have done that these glasses are staying put, firmly in place

Fitted with sturdy head hugging arms which hold firmly to the side of the head, over and behind the ears, they stay in place.

Cost

The price is right when measured against functionality, specific performance: a very good investment.

Conclusion

Good product for runners in certain environments. Fishing is an outdoor sport which brings moments of abrupt activity, hauling a huge fish from the ocean, leaning forwards over the side of a boat. These glasses are absolutely designed for working in such situations while offering comfort, reliability, durability and good vision.

Features

So, Mom, Dad, and teenagers are really lucky that Armour offers such a broad selection of sunglasses for every occasion but what about the little kids?

They don't forget about the kids and they continue to offer the same quality features because kids do outdoor activities.

Keep in mind that Under Armour has a series of sunglasses targeting young athletes. In this list, we include only one example by way of introducing the concept and because of their excellent performance.

Totally stylish – featuring interesting cutouts and colors without sacrificing quality.

Lightweight, comfortable features are something we expect from Under Armour. These are a good value.

Adults can’t wear these they are manufactured for a medium or small head, Under Armour logo on each frame arm, the arms hug the temples and finish to sit at the top of the ear.

The comfort features of the Ranger are put to the test in the fishing environment, but these sunglasses accept the challenge and stay cool and light all day long. Rangers conform to the Under Armour standard of value, which is very good to excellent.

When we start looking at the Ranger model, it really is good. The name choice for this model seems obvious because these are the type of multi-functional reliable glasses a ranger would choose.
Can you enjoy a run wearing these? Of course you can.

The model has polarized lenses a joint result with Zeiss a world expert in optic lenses, so you get hydrophobic qualities built into the lenses and that means no oil smudges. In fact, any oil, muddy water, or seawater on the lens gets dispersed away and off the lens surface.
