SunGod – see better

I’ve been wearing SunGod sunglasses since 2017. At that time, I owned the casual sunglasses called Renegades and Sierras – these fast became my everyday eyewear. Both are very cool in review, with light and well-made frames. After all, a company offering a lifetime guarantee says how confident they are about their products.

Fast forward five years, I own six different pairs of SunGods, and they have never been better than the options you can choose from, plentiful! The website customisation ensures that options are endless. The brand itself has evolved, now working with the McLaren F1 team, Protect our Winters, Surfers Against Sewerage, and they are a 1% for the Planet Member, which is very cool to see. While selling excellent sunglasses, the brand strives to be better on all fronts, and it is something that resonates with me.

The shades

While I use the bulk of their range, from Velans to Ultras, let’s show off with my favourite everyday pair and go-to paddle sunglasses, Sierras.

They offer a recycled frame option, with the ‘Infinite’ frames offering a 100% recycled frame. This option helps with a 7x lower impact on the environment when compared to using virgin plastics! Varying optics can be chosen when building your selected pair, making some shades as cheap as £55! That is excellent value for money.

  • They are ultra-light, weighing in at just 25 grams.
  • I have the 4KO polarised lenses (excellent for paddle boarding, snowboarding and even cycling), but these can be upgraded to 8KO/polarised (a very cool slider on their website shows the difference in a standard view vs your chosen lens type). The lenses are also interchangeable, which is excellent and easy to do; these have triple-layer scratch resistance and Impact resistance.
  • My five-year-old pair have been used heavily and never been scratched!
  • Offer 100% UV protection.
  • A lifetime guarantee. They are built to last a lifetime and are up for the challenge of heavy use!

These have been my go-to, everyday pair for many years, ousting my love for Oakley (that was no mean feat!). SunGods being so light, comfortable and excellent value for money makes them a market leader, in my opinion.

I’ve been a SunGod customer for many years, which recently turned into myself and Dale of @StandUpPaddleUK becoming brand ambassadors. So much choice for customisation means you can genuinely make any pair of your own with SunGod. I honestly can’t recommend the sunglasses range enough.
