When it comes to elite performance, every detail counts. From nutrition to equipment, top athletes know that having the right gear can make or break their training. One often-overlooked but game-changing piece of equipment? High-performance sports sunglasses.
We spoke with three Bloovs Ambassadors from different disciplines to uncover why sports eyewear is an essential part of their training—and how the right pair gives them a competitive edge. Ready to find out why they never train without them? Let’s dive in!
1. Sofia Aguaio Professional Triathlete
✅ Why She Wears Sports Sunglasses:
-
Reduces glare so she can focus on the road ahead.
-
Prevents eye fatigue during long-distance runs.
-
Protects against UV damage for healthier vision over time.
Sifia’s Take: “Running under the sun for hours is brutal on your eyes. The right pair of polarized sunglasses reduces glare and keeps my vision sharp, especially when fatigue kicks in. Without them, I’d be squinting and losing focus.”
Pro Tip: If you’re a runner, look for lightweight, polarized lenses with UV400 protection to enhance clarity and prevent distractions.
2. Margouille., Competitive Cyclist
✅ Why He Wears Sports Sunglasses:
-
Photochromic lenses adapt to changing light conditions on the road.
-
Wraparound frames block wind, dust, and debris.
-
Impact-resistant lenses protect against crashes and flying debris.
Margouille’s Take: “Cycling at high speeds means dealing with constant changes in lighting—shadows, tunnels, open roads. My photochromic sunglasses adjust automatically, so I never have to slow down or squint to see clearly.”
Pro Tip: For cycling, go for photochromic or mirrored lenses to adapt to changing light while keeping your eyes shielded from wind and debris.
3. Lucas Mouret., Mountain Athlete Athlete (Skimo & Trail Running)
✅ Why She Wears Sports Sunglasses:
-
Anti-fog technology keeps her vision clear in extreme weather.
-
Enhanced contrast lenses improve visibility on snow and trails.
-
Flexible, shock-resistant frames withstand impact and movement.
Luca’s Take: “In extreme sports, visibility is everything. If I lose sight of an obstacle for even a second, it could mean a serious fall. My high-contrast, anti-fog lenses give me that extra edge to see every detail clearly, no matter the weather.”
Pro Tip: For extreme conditions, choose anti-fog, impact-resistant, and high-contrast lenses to enhance visibility and safety.
