The two most popular lens materials are polycarbonate and glass. Although glass has its benefits, for us, polycarbonate is the clear winner. Impact and shatter resistance alone make it a worthy choice in a sport where flying debris can travel at high velocity. Polycarbonate lenses are also lightweight compared to glass, which can have a major benefit over a long shooting session.
Polarised lenses are effective at reducing glare in bright sunlight, but they have both pros and cons for shooting. They work by blocking out horizontal light waves (reflections), which can reduce the glare from reflective surfaces like water, glass, or even your firearm. If you’re an outdoor shooter, this can be a huge benefit as it allows you to maintain a clear, focused line of sight even in bright conditions. However, if you’re an indoor shooter, glare is at a minimum, so polarised lenses may not be worthwhile. Some shooters also find that polarisation can interfere with reading digital screens (such as scopes or range finders), so it’s essential to weigh your shooting environment and preferences before opting for polarised lenses.
Photochromic lenses, which automatically adjust to changing light conditions, are a fantastic option for shooters who move between indoor and outdoor settings. These lenses darken in bright sunlight and lighten in low-light or shaded conditions, so you won’t need to swap out lenses or sunglasses throughout the day.
Hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings are great for outdoor shooters, as they repel water and sweat. These coatings keep your lenses free of streaks or smudges, so you’re not constantly cleaning them mid-shoot.

Different lens colours can benefit different conditions and environments. Here is what we suggest to get the most out of your eyewear:
Yellow/Amber
Enhances contrast and depth perception. Excellent for being able to see targets in low-light conditions or overcast days.
Pink/Rose
Enhances contrast against green and blue backgrounds. Great for outdoor shooting, for example wooded areas.
Purple/Blue
Enhances contours and improves contrast on overcast days, perfect for distance estimation.
Grey/Green
Reduces overall brightness without altering colour perception. Ideal for bright, sunny conditions.
Brown/Copper
Enhances contrast and depth perception while muting greens. Excellent all-purpose tint for various lighting conditions.

Remember, the best shooting sunglasses are the ones that feel comfortable. When choosing frames for shooting, consider the specific demands of your environment.
The wrap-around shape is the go-to for shooting eyewear. Not only do they offer better coverage and block peripheral light, but they also guard your eyes from stray debris that might fly in from the sides. This all-around protection is vital whether you're in a range or outdoor setting where elements like wind and dust can be prevalent. Next, think about lens size. Larger lenses provide better protection from glare and wider vision. Wrap-around lenses or models with side shields are excellent for maximizing coverage.

Semi-rimless frames are also a popular choice. The rimless lower half means that you have unobstructed downwards vision. This is often useful when checking your gear or reloading.

Finally, for those who wear hearing protection, you'll want frames with slim arms. These are designed to fit comfortably under earmuffs without creating pressure points, so you can maintain your focus without discomfort.
