USA-Sport.com Marathon Sunglasses Review

April 2, 2015 by MCM Mama 5 Comments

Back in the day, when I first started running, I never wore sunglasses. I can’t stand the feel of glasses on my face and assumed I’d feel the same about wearing sunglasses while running. I was given a pair of sunglasses to review and realized that a good pair of sunglasses made a huge difference in how sunglasses feel (and since they weren’t prescription, they weren’t super heavy.)

After many years of use, those sunglasses broke a few weeks before the RNR DC half marathon. I purchased a pair from Target and made do. But they were constantly fogged up and a little on the heavy side, so I knew it would not be long before I purchased an expensive pair again.

Enter USA-Sport.com.  I happened upon their booth at the RNR DC expo. I started chatting with the reps and tried on a pair. I could barely tell I had them on! And at less than $40, they were cheaper than any of the other brands I’d been considering. So, on a whim, I bought myself a pair of the Naute Sport Marathon glasses in black (I’m boring that way.)

I immediately took them out on an 18 mile run (along with a new pair of shoes). I’m bold that way.

They were awesome! They are super light weight and have an anti-fog treatment. I barely noticed them at all on my face. I did notice that if I pushed them super tight against my face, that I did have a bit of sweat build up on the corner right by my face. This was easily solved by wearing them just a touch further down my nose. Since they are so light, they did not move at all, whether they were pushed tight on my face, a bit lower, or sitting on top of my running hat. LOVE! I also find that they fit better with a hat than any of my previous pairs and I’ve had no rubbing behind my ears. Win!

I have since run a 20 mile run and several shorter runs with them and think they are wonderful.

As part of the #RockYourCore challenge, we are giving away a pair as part of this week’s and another pair as part of the last week’s prize. One pair will have the pink frame and the other will have the tortoiseshell frame.

    Very Cool! After 2 retinal surgeries my eyes are so sensitive to the sun and glare. I just can’t run without sunglasses!
