I'm back at it again testing the latest sunglasses! This time I had the pleasure of testing the Z-Series sunglasses from Shady Rays. I tested a different series from Shady Rays earlier this year so having the chance to test them again was exciting!

The Run Test

With the weather getting warmer that means that there are more options for outdoor activities. That means more opportunity to really put a product to the test.

Running with these babies has been the most comfortable frames that I have run with. The frame arms are a little longer than normal but they don't really have the "behind the ear curve." This means they were more comfortable with my headphones and hat since they weren't competing for the same real estate on my ears. They didn't slide down my face even with the intense sweat that I can produce, and even stayed in place shaking my head.

The polarized lens are pretty self-explanatory. They make everything you see look better while also protecting your eyes from UV. Just an added bonus!

Biking with these sunglasses was also super comfortable. The lenses are one the smaller, sleeker side of the spectrum making them ideal for being worn with a helmet. That also means that they don't block as much airflow from you face, allowing your body to cool off faster. But at the same time they cover the delicate areas of your face which protect them from bugs and other things that could injure your eyes.

I liked that the arms of the frames are on the smaller side too because they didn't cause as much of a blind spot as other sunglasses have for me in the past.

Conclusion

Aside from the fact they the Shady Rays X-Series Sunglasses look AMAZING they are a top notch pair of sunglasses for any type of athlete. They are super comfortable, fit well on your ears with hats and headphones, and are the ideal sunglasses for biking. I can confidently say that Shady Rays makes some excellent sunglasses that are on the market. Especially since I have tested two different series of theirs. You should definitely try them out!

You can use code "rave" for 50% when you buy two or more pair of sunglasses! That's a crazy deal that you need to take advantage of!
