Who said running in winter didn’t require eye protection? We certainly didn’t at GearGuide. In fact, given the low-angle sun, you might even need it more than usual along with some additional versatility in the lens choice to deal with those low-angle and low-light conditions.

Thanks for reading another outdoor gear review from GearGuide. And thanks to Bolle, and Under Armour for providing products for this review.
