That's why many choose fit-over sunglasses
Fit-over sunglasses are for you who want to make sun protection easier in everyday life. They can be worn over your regular glasses, so you don't have to switch to prescription sunglasses.
This makes them practical for driving, on holiday, walking and other situations where you need a quick and user-friendly solution against sun and glare.
Fit-over sunglasses are a practical solution for those of you who already wear regular glasses, but who would like to have sunglasses without having to switch back and forth between several pairs. Instead of taking off your glasses, fit-over sunglasses can be worn on top of your own glasses.
This makes them particularly relevant in everyday life, where the sun can suddenly bother you when you drive a car, go for a walk, sit on the terrace or move between indoors and outdoors. Fit-over sunglasses are made to provide extra coverage around the eyes, while retaining the strength you already have in your regular glasses.
At PREGO you will find wear-over and fit-over-inspired sunglasses for both men and women who want a simple and functional solution for sunny days. They are obvious for those of you who would like to combine your own glasses with a flexible sunglasses solution.
What are fit-over sunglasses?
Fit-over sunglasses are sunglasses that are designed to fit over regular glasses. They typically have a slightly more spacious fit than ordinary sunglasses, so there is room for the spectacle frame inside.
The purpose is simple: You must be able to keep your own glasses on and at the same time get sun protection. It's especially smart if you wear prescription glasses and don't want to buy separate prescription sunglasses.
Fit-over sunglasses are also often called wear-over sunglasses, cover-up sunglasses, or sunglasses for use over glasses. The designations may vary, but the principle is the same.
When do fit-over sunglasses make sense?
Fit-over sunglasses especially make sense if you often need sunglasses quickly. It can be when you get into the car, go out into the garden, go on holiday or move out in bright daylight.
They are also practical if you do not want to invest in prescription sunglasses or if your prescription strength changes over time. With fit-over sunglasses, you can continue to use your regular glasses and simply add sun protection on the outside.
For many, it is precisely the flexibility that makes the solution attractive. You can keep a pair in your car, bag or entryway so they're always ready when the sun comes out.
Fit-over sunglasses for driving
Driving is one of those situations where fit-over sunglasses can really come in handy. When the sun is low or the light is reflected from the road, water or other cars, driving without sunglasses can be annoying.
If you wear prescription glasses, it can be difficult to switch to another pair of sunglasses, especially if you are already behind the wheel. With fit-over sunglasses, you can keep your normal glasses on and take the sunglasses off.
This makes them suitable for both short trips, commuting and longer drives.
Comfort and fit are essential
Fit-over sunglasses must fit well. They must not squeeze the outside of your regular glasses, nor must they feel too heavy or unstable.
When choosing a model, you should look at both width, height and shape. Your regular glasses must be able to be worn inside, without the fit-over model pressing them askew or causing discomfort to the nose, temples or ears.
A good model must feel natural enough for you to actually wear it.
Fit-over sunglasses are primarily an everyday solution. They must be easy to put on, sit well over your own glasses and make it easier to deal with sunlight without changing glasses.– Jesper Krog Jensen
Fit-over sunglasses for men and women
Fit-over sunglasses are not just one specific type of glasses. They are available in different shapes and expressions, so that both men and women can find a model that suits their style.
Some prefer a discreet and classic design that does not take up too much space. Others want a model with more markings, darker frames or a more modern look.
The most important thing is that the sunglasses fit over your existing glasses and feel comfortable in the situations where you use them the most.
