Eye protection and Sunglasses
From fast rides to slow hikes, days on the water to everyday use, our sunglasses are built to protect your eyes and stand up to real outdoor life.
Eye protection and Sunglasses
Bright ridgelines, long gravel roads, sudden sun after cloud. Great sunglasses don’t shout. They just stay put, cut the glare, and let you get on with the day. Alpkit sunglasses are built for human-powered movement across mixed terrain. Running, riding, hiking or packing it all together into one long day out.
Sunglasses and Eye Protection for Mountain Sports
Some pairs are built for performance and speed. Others for long, steady days. Some are made to live everywhere, ready when you need them. All are good. None are disposable. Choose the pair that fits how and where you spend your time outdoors.

These are sunglasses you forget you’re wearing. The kind you pull on at the car and don’t think about again until you’re back home, dusty and tired. They’re shaped to stay stable when the trail gets choppy, light enough for all-day comfort, and versatile enough to move from bike to hill without switching kit.
Designed for British conditions. Tested by riders, runners, and hill walkers who don’t stop when the weather changes. Built to deliver performance without the price tag or ego.
Built to last
Our range of eyewear is designed to wear well and protect your eyes with Category 3 lenses for great clarity and 100% UV protection. The polycarbonate lenses have a hard coating to help prevent scratches and are impact-tested for good measure.
Our frames are made from TR90. An incredibly durable, comfortable, and lightweight thermoplastic that give our sunglasses a sturdy feel.
