Why Choose Wrap-Around Sunglasses at Xford?
Wrap-around sunglasses are the ultimate choice for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. Their curved design hugs the face closely, helping block light, wind, and debris from entering through the sides and providing maximum protection. This design also enhances vision by offering a wider field of view without the obstruction of thick frame rims on the sides. Wrap-around frames are made to grip the head comfortably, so they stay securely in place and do not slip off during intense movement or sweat. The added side coverage also reduces distracting light coming from side windows, which makes these sunglasses an excellent option for long drives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are wrap-around sunglasses best for? +
They are ideal for high-motion activities like cycling, running, cricket, and fishing. The aerodynamic shape reduces wind resistance and prevents dust or bugs from hitting your eyes.
Q2: Do they fit tight on the head? +
They are designed to have a "snug" fit to prevent falling off during sports, but they shouldn't be painful. Xford wrap frames use flexible materials like TR90 that grip gently without squeezing your temples.
Q3: Can I get prescription lenses in wrap-around frames? +
It depends on your power. Because of the high curvature (base curve) of the frame, high-power prescription lenses can sometimes cause distortion. We recommend consulting your optician or choosing our "Semi-Wrap" styles for prescription use.
Q4: Are they suitable for casual wear? +
While they are built for performance, modern wrap-around styles are sleek enough for casual, "athleisure" wear. They give a sporty, dynamic look that pairs well with t-shirts and jeans.
