The idea
Most sunnies are built for standing still.
Your day isn't. It's tempo runs, trail k's, long rides and longer summers. These are built for that day, and priced so you don't have to think twice about wearing them hard.
Grip
Anti-slip nose and temple grips. They don't bounce at 5:00 pace and they don't budge on rough descents.
Lens
Polarised, UV400, Cat 2 to 4. Harsh Aussie glare cut down to clean, honest light.
Weight
Frames you forget you're wearing. Flexible enough to move with your face, not against it.
The build
Four things done properly.
Every pair is the same honest build underneath. No mystery materials, no 'technology' you can't feel on your face.
Flex
Frame build
featherweight, memory-flexibleLight enough to forget, flexible enough to move with your face instead of clamping it. Frame material is listed on every product page.
UV400
Lens protection
polarised, full UVA/UVB blockKills glare off road, water and windscreens so your eyes aren't doing overtime.
Cat 2-4
Lens category
from low-light contrast to full blackoutPick your light. Cat 2 contrast for overcast trails, Cat 3 mirrors for full sun, Cat 4 for the harshest days.

Great sunnies and comfortable to wear
Fights nicely. Comfy to wear long distances
Fantastic sunnies, super lightweight and comfortable
Perfect pair for any activity. Taken them on trail runs, 2hr+ bike rides and tempo runs. Best all-round sunnies. Second to none
First pair that hasn't broke on me mid run. 10/10
Best glasses around
Great fit!
Everything you need from sunnies that move with you, for a fraction of the cost of other brands on the market.
I bought the S1 Eclipses and loved them so much, that I bought the S1 Nova. Loved the colour and of course the fit. I recommend these sunnies to all runners! Whether it’s a 5K or an Ultra, these are perfect!
I have bought these for a trip to Nepal. While I haven't actively used them yet I do really like the look of them as well as how comfortable they are.
I also really love the customer service and how close Jack is to his customers. He puts in heaps of effort responding to all customers and sending out best wishes. An absolute top bloke !
Wore these for my 8k run in the rain on the weekend. Didn't bounce, good glare protection, felt comfortable on my face. Great value sunnies that do everything they need to at a fraction of the price of usual running sunnies!
Great glasses
It is good but it pulls my hair while taking them off
I purchased the RYZE Nova style and I’m super happy with my purchase . Not only affordable but stylish . They fit comfortably and there was no movement from them on my run . I also got stuck in the rain the other day and there was no fog or glare.
I love my new glasses! I only had one minor issue straight out of the box, but I messaged jack late at night and instantly received a reply. The next day a replacement pair were sent no questions asked. I will definitely be buying another pair. Highly recommend!

The questions worth asking.
Anything else? Email us. A human (usually Jack) replies.
Will they stay put when I run?
Yes, that's the whole point. Anti-slip nose and temple grips hold through sweat, hills and headwinds. Across our verified reviews, 'don't bounce' is the most repeated phrase.
What lens am I getting?
Every lens is polarised with full UV400 protection. Categories run from Cat 2 (overcast days, high contrast) through Cat 3 (bright days) up to Cat 4 on the darkest tints (maximum glare protection, not for driving).
What's in the box?
Your sunnies plus the kit that suits them. Exact inclusions are listed on every product page — nothing you'll bin.
How does the 2nd pair 30% off work?
Add two pairs to your cart and the discount applies automatically at checkout. No code, no hoops.
Do they fit my head?
One size fits most. The frame flexes to your face rather than clamping it. If they're not right, you've got 30 days to send them back.
What if I don't love them?
30-day returns, no interrogation. Email hello@altraeyewear.com and we'll sort it.
