Prescription sport sunglasses exist in a niche within a niche. Finding good ones takes time and effort and often requires spending a small fortune with no guarantee that the final result will work out. Sport sunglasses, as a broad category, have gotten very, very good, but prescription options remain limited. As a result, they seem to be the item that I receive the most questions about from other riders; anyone who needs prescription sunglasses is always on the hunt for something better. I’ve made it a goal to test as many different prescription sunglasses as I can, since I’m in a somewhat unique position of having both poor vision and a platform to review cycling equipment.
Roka first began as a wetsuit brand with a triathlon focus, before pivoting to sunglasses. Now an established player, the company has an extensive catalogue, including the newly launched San Remo model (released alongside a half-frame San Remo Air variant), which blends endurance-sport tech specs with the durability and style of a casual sunglasses design.
