Sport enthusiasts and exercisers that enjoy taking their fitness outside can attest to how bothersome it can be to have the sun's glare creeping into their eyes, making the District Vision [runner sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smith-ultralite-sunglasses) an ideal solution. These glasses are designed specifically for [fitness wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/csport-collection) with a durable design that keeps the sun's rays at bay from distracting one's sight.

Unlike traditional sunglasses that can be prone to breaking or made from fragile material, the District Vision eyewear collection is made to be durable, long-lasting and shatter-free. The glasses are made from sweat-resistant frames, rubberized nose pads for grip, high-quality lenses and an [adjustable sport strap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performance-eyewear-model) to stay secured on the wearer's head through all sorts of activities including distance running.
