Sunglasses

[mel77]

Which sunglasses do your girls like that will fit under a face mask comfortably? I am looking for my 13yo. Thanks!

Both my DDs (14 and 16) are wearing Oakley quarter Jacket or Half Jacket. These are smaller versions of their Flak Jacket glasses. They are available in a wide variety of frame and lens colors.

I like these because the lenses can be easily replaced. I've also found that Revant makes a high quality, and much less expensive lens replacement that perfectly fit the Oakley frames.

Revant Replacement Lenses

Note: When ordering replacement lens, make sure to look up the parts using the frame number, as there are several versions of the "Jacket" series of glasses, with different lens shapes.

I also ordered lens replacements for an old pair of discontinued Oakley frames I had lying around that were horribly scratched up, and now they are like new again!

Honestly, I would get one of those 10 pack for $10 tinted safety glasses packs off of eBay. Lost, scratched, smashed....no big deal.

Seriously, when my DD was pitching in 10U, her coach (who was a construction worker) took his "sunglasses" off and gave them to her when she was having problems with the sun. They are thin, lightweight, and sit close to your face. They fit perfectly under her face mask.

We've had good luck with Boombah sunglasses. My kids are way too hard on them (or irresponsible) to even think about giving them Oakleys or another high end model.

Tifosi also makes some good models that are moderately priced.

Shady Rays are very good and come with free replacements.

She is getting more responsible, so wanted to invest in something a little better. Protect those eyes! I read once we spend $300+ money on bats but don't want to spend anything on sunglasses, ha!

My daughter wears Shady Ray's polarized glasses. She loves them and the fit great. She is 12 and a normal sized human.

That's because sunglasses don't help you hit bombs! Priorities people!

DD wears a Rawlings adult sports, list for $35, we paid I think $20. and she hates scratches on lenses, so she keeps them in helmet (catching helmet, no idea if they would fit well under fielders mask), or in their case.

I usually buy either those cheap Panama Jack's (from Walmart...I used to get them at KMart until my location closed) or I get Pugz from my local convenience store. I'm looking into either getting a more sports-specific kind from my local optometrist (I'm nearsighted and wear contacts over glasses...although I sometimes wear my glasses to class instead of my contacts) or a pair of Oakley's.

A local Academy had youth Oakleys on sale. Polarized. They fit DD great and she finds them comfortable under her facemask. Having the warranty is nice.

The deal was that they always go in a hard case we bought when she’s not wearing them. 3 months in and so far so good.
