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.

I never take them off!
I purchased my Forte’s a few weeks ago and I can say they are truly as advertised. When on the coarse I keep them on always. With other glasses I used to put them on the hat when on the greens because I couldn’t read the contours and breaks, not a problem with my RIA’s. They stay on all the time. I’m a believer!

This is my second pair of glasses, and I love them while playing golf! They do a great job of removing the glare on greens, and do a great job of protecting my eyes.
