Why Wear Sunglasses for Golf?

A round of golf lasts four or five hours, and your eyes have to keep reading the grass, the contours of the fairway and where the ball lands between wide stretches of grass and sky, all while coping with strong sun and UV all day. Sunglasses designed for golf boost contrast and colour on the course so you can read the grass and follow the ball, while staying light and stable for all-day wear. The VIGHT SIGMA RIDGE GOLF series combines golf-specific high-contrast lenses, grass- and ball-enhancing tints, a 4C wide-view curve and an oil- and water-repellent coating to help you focus on every swing.

Reading | High-contrast lenses bring out the layers of the grass and the contours of the fairway, making green slopes, grain and your target easier to read.

Tracking | Grass- and ball-enhancing tints boost contrast between the ball and the background, so you see it more clearly from tee shot to landing.

Stability | A light 23 g build with non-slip temples and spare low nose pads stays secure and comfortable as you swing and walk.

Protection | UV400 blocks UV rays, and an oil- and water-repellent coating resists sweat, grease and rain, keeping your view clear all day on the course.

FAQs and Buying Tips

FAQs

Golf means long hours outdoors, and strong sun and UV can leave you tired and squinting, affecting how you read the grass and track the ball. Golf sunglasses boost contrast and colour on the course, making green slopes, fairway contours and where the ball lands clearer, with all-day UV400 protection. They help both your game and your eyes.
SIGMA comes in two specs. High-contrast brown with grass-enhancing tint brings out the grass and fairway contours, ideal in normal light if reading greens and grass matters most to you. High-contrast green polarized with ball-enhancing tint cuts glare and makes the ball pop, ideal for courses with strong sun or glare and for golfers focused on tracking the ball. Choose by how you play and the light on your course.
Polarization cuts reflections and glare on the course and makes the ball clearer, but some golfers find it slightly affects reading subtle slopes on the green, and it can make some GPS or rangefinder screens look darker at certain angles. That’s why SIGMA comes in both green polarized (ball-enhancing) and brown non-polarized high-contrast (grass-enhancing) versions, so you can choose what suits you.
SIGMA lenses have an oil- and water-repellent coating that keeps sweat, grease and rain from sticking, so your view stays clear between swings and on the walk, through long rounds and after rain.
SIGMA weighs just 23 g, with non-slip temples, spare low nose pads (for Asian nose shapes) and a glasses strap, so it stays secure as you swing, bend and walk, without pressure all round long.
If you mainly want to read greens and grass and usually play in normal light, start with a brown grass-enhancing model (such as Morning Sand or Forest Brown); if you often play on courses with strong sun or glare and want to track the ball clearly, we recommend a green polarized ball-enhancing model.
