Eschenbach Solar Shield Polarized Gray Fit-Over Sunglasses – Small & Large

What Are the Best Polarized Sunglasses That Fit Over Eyeglasses?

If bright sunlight and reflected glare are uncomfortable, polarized sunglasses that fit over eyeglasses let you keep your regular eyewear underneath while adding sun protection and glare reduction.

Eschenbach Solar Shield Gray Fit-Over Sunglasses use a dark polarized gray lens designed to reduce overall brightness and reflective glare while keeping colors looking natural. They are especially useful for bright outdoor conditions, daytime driving and other situations where glare from roads, pavement, water or shiny surfaces is a problem.

What Are Gray Lenses Best For?

Gray is a strong choice for people who want brightness and glare reduction without noticeably changing the colors they see.

The Gray Solar Shield lens is polarized, which helps reduce reflected glare from flat surfaces such as roads, water and pavement. Eschenbach describes the gray lens as providing true color representation while eliminating reflective glare.

Polarized Gray lenses may be especially useful for activities such as:

• Daytime driving in bright sunlight
• Walking or spending time outdoors on sunny days
• Fishing, boating or being near water
• Outdoor events and sports
• Shopping or running errands in bright conditions
• Any activity where glare from roads, pavement, water or other reflective surfaces is uncomfortable

Choose Gray if you:

• Are sensitive to bright outdoor light
• Are bothered by reflected glare
• Want a dark lens for sunny conditions
• Prefer colors to remain relatively natural
• Want polarized protection for outdoor activities or daytime driving

What Does 15% Light Transmission Mean?

The Gray Solar Shield lens allows approximately 15% of visible light through.

In simple terms, that means about 85% of visible light is filtered out, so this is a dark lens intended for bright outdoor conditions.

A lower light-transmission percentage means a darker lens. A higher percentage means more light reaches your eyes.

Are Gray Solar Shield Glasses Good for Driving?

Yes, the polarized Gray lens is well suited to daytime driving in bright conditions. Polarization helps reduce reflected glare from roads and other vehicles, while the neutral gray tint helps keep colors looking natural.

Because Gray allows only about 15% of visible light through, it is intended for daytime driving rather than night or low-light driving.

Which Solar Shield Size Should I Choose?

Measure the outside width and height of the eyeglasses you plan to wear underneath.

The Small can also be worn alone if fit-over use is not needed.

Why Choose Eschenbach Solar Shield Fit-Overs over other fit-overs?

Solar Shield eyewear provides more than just a tinted lens placed over your eyeglasses. The frame includes protective top and side shields, helping reduce sunlight and glare entering around the edges of your eyewear.

Eschenbach states that the top and side shield design provides 40% more protection from the sun than ordinary sunglasses. Solar Shields also include bend-to-fit Comfort-Flex temples for a more customized fit and provide 100% UVA/UVB protection.
