Style Inspiration

Classic shape, modern performance. Our round sunglasses, the Olympians, pair a retro-inspired 47mm frame with polarized UV400 lenses and the same grip-coated fit that keeps our running sunglasses locked in place. Look good at brunch, perform on the run.

Who round frames suit

Round sunglasses balance square and angular face shapes and soften strong jawlines. The Olympians sit a little smaller than our square frames, which makes them a favorite for narrower faces and for women who find most sport sunglasses too wide.

Built to run in

  • Polarized lenses cut glare off roads, water and windshields.
  • UV400 blocks 100% of UVA and UVB.
  • Grip coating on the nose and temples keeps them from sliding when you sweat.
  • About an ounce on the face, so nothing bounces.

Choose tortoise, black or green frames with tan, black or blue lenses. Compare with the square Sprinters, the frameless X365, or browse all running sunglasses. $65, free US shipping over $75.

Round Frames Built for More Than Looks

The round frame has been a style staple for decades, and there's a reason it keeps coming back. The circular shape flatters a wide range of face types, especially square and angular jawlines, while the curved lens provides a wide field of vision with minimal peripheral distortion. Our round sunglasses take that timeless aesthetic and upgrade it with the same performance features we put in our athletic frames: polarized lenses that cut road and water glare, UV400 protection for full sun blocking, and lightweight construction you can wear all day.

Style Them Your Way

  • For Running: The grip-coated nose pads keep them in place through sweat and speed. Pair with a Running Hat for full sun coverage.
  • For Everyday: The retro aesthetic works for casual wear, driving, and outdoor dining. Throw them in a Crossbody Bag when you head inside.
  • For Travel: Lightweight and durable enough to toss in a bag without worrying about damage.

Key Features

  • Polarized Lenses: Eliminate reflected glare from roads, water, and vehicles for sharper, more comfortable vision.
  • UV400 Protection: Blocks 100% of harmful UV-A and UV-B rays to protect your eyes long-term.
  • Grip-Coated Fit: Nose pads and temple arms grip tighter when wet. Stays put during activity.
  • Recycled Materials: Eco-conscious construction from recycled components.
  • Lightweight Frame: Comfortable for extended wear without pressure behind the ears or on the bridge of your nose.

Who Wears Round Frames?

  • Style-Conscious Athletes: You want performance eyewear that doesn't look like a science experiment.
  • Square and Angular Faces: Round frames soften strong jawlines and complement angular features.
  • All-Day Wearers: Morning run to afternoon coffee to evening walk, one pair handles it all.
  • Gift Shoppers: Round frames are universally flattering and make a reliable gift for runners.

Frequently asked questions
