#SeeTheDifference

No Lens

Golf HD+

See Breaks & Slopes

Golf HD+'s proprietary copper-rose tint is engineered to suppress the overabundance of green light in the golf environment while boosting red and yellow light to create course-specific contrast. This allows the eyes to pick up the subtleties of the green before you line up your putt.

Keep Your Eyes Fresh

Golf HD+ goes further than just 100% UVA/B protection. In combination with our Spectra Blue mirror, it is designed to filter out the abundance of harsh blue light in the 400-420nm range that can strain your vision. This keeps your eyes relaxed and refreshed over the course of a long round.

Track Your Shot

Golf HD+ is tuned specifically to the optimal light transmission in tandem with providing enhanced contrast against the sky to keep your eyes from squinting to track your shot. Keep your sunglasses on from tee box to green.

Key Forte Features

Secure, No-Slip Fit

Forte features premium soft rubber nose pads and inlaid temple pads to ensure it doesn't move while your swinging.

Integrated Spring Hinges

Built with premium integrated spring hinges to adapt to the wearer's head and provide the most comfortable fit possible.

Replaceable Lenses

Switch out your lenses at any time for a new set - no need to buy an entirely new pair of sunglasses to keep your optics razor sharp.

FAQ

Are the lenses polarized or non-polarized?

Our racquet-sport lenses are not polarized as polarized lenses block horizontal glare - while this is useful for everyday wear, it can have a negative effect on your depth perception on the course. When you need to see the ball clearly to time your swing, a polarized lens will be an impediment. Regardless, all of our lenses are still 100% UVA/B protective.

I want to try these on, where can I do that?

For now we are only selling from our website so that if you need anything we can help you directly 👊 - however, we do free returns for 30 days after buying so that you can try them on at home without committing. Check out our full return policy here.

Best sunglasses for golf/everyday! /Chris was awesome to deal with
I've switched through so many different brands to find comfortable polarized glasses and have never stuck with one...until now. I got pulled into the Ria world through a Facebook Ad about a year ago and figured they would probably be a gimmick with how they talk about color clarity and eye strain a player deals with when golfing/trying to find their ball....but the Forte golf glasses check every box their ads say they do.
1) they are super comfortable to wear. They don't get uncomfortable behind the ear or on the bridge of the nose even when wearing a hat(something I've always found annoying when wearing my rayban wayfarer sunglasses )
2) the glare you get with non polarized glasses is gone with these...and color is enhanced to where you can see your ball in the fairway or rough very easily!
The colors make playing a round beautiful...honestly it's like night and day seeing how beautiful things look on the course through a Ria lense. (I'm using the Ria Forte Carbon Black Golf HD+ setup)
3) These are better than any rayban polarized sunglasses I've traditionally used and come in at $40 less than I would be paying for the Ray-Bans....and you're getting American customer service quickly responsive whereas it's annoying to go through a million prompts through to a foreign customer service agent that may or may not be able to actually help you resolve anything when trying to get info for your Ray-Bans .
I'm ordering my second pair of Ria sunglasses now and before doing…
