Water-Repelling Sunglasses

These Sunglasses Were Designed by District Vision for Runners

— October 19, 2016 — Lifestyle
Known for its athlete-specific sunglasses, District Vision designed a stylish new pair for runners.

The sunglasses are titled 'Black Rose' and have black frames and dark purple lenses, which have "variable light transmission" that accounts for the adjustment when running in the outdoors when the light transitions from light to dark. The sunglasses also feature a water-repellent ribbon strap that allow them to be worn even when it is raining. They also come with an "indestructible trail running case" that people can wear on them while they are running.

These District Vision sunglasses work to ensure that people who exercise outdoors are able to do so comfortably, no matter what the weather or light conditions may be.
