Well here we are. It's summer again. The kids are out of school, gas prices are shooting up to the sky, and the ever-running air conditioners have checkbooks everywhere seeing stars. Yes, summer has its disadvantages, but it's not all bad. Vacations, lazy days at the beach, barbecues, fireworks shows, and pool parties are mandatory parts of most everyone's schedules. Every single one of the aforementioned fun summer rituals presents a perfect opportunity for promoting your brand. This year, do it in style with our promotional designer sunglasses. They'll protect eyes from harmful UV rays while proudly displaying your company logo wherever they're worn. 

We have several offerings from the biggest names in designer sunglasses. We carry promotional sunglasses from Venice, Under Armour, Slazenger, and SpyOptic. Deciding which variety of our logo imprinted designer sunglasses best fits your promotional needs takes some time and research. Fortunately for you, all the information you need is right here in this article. Without further ado, we'll get started with discussing all of the finer points you'll need to know in order to make the choose the best promotional designer sunglasses for your business. 

Sure, sunglasses are fun and can make great fashion statements, but they're also functional. In fact, functional is an understatement. They're downright necessary for anyone who wants to protect their eyes and facial skin from the potential damage UV rays can cause. Just what are UV rays anyway? UV is an abbreviation for ultraviolet, which are the highest energy and most intense rays that the sun beams down on us. All light travels in waves, which are measured in nanometers. While ultraviolet rays have the smallest wavelengths (typically between 290-400 nanometers), they're deceptively mighty. Their frequency is such that they cannot be seen by the human eye, but their effects are anything but invisible. Without protection from these rays, a person will be lucky if the only damage they ever get is a sunburn. 

Here's an infographic from The Vision Council (opens in a new window) concerning UV rays and eye safety

UV rays, specifically UVA and UVB rays, can cause problems such as premature skin aging and wrinkling, cataracts, and even skin cancer. UVA rays are present all year long and have no trouble penetrating even the thickest of clouds to reach you regardless of the weather. While their energy level is lower than that of UVB rays, they can travel further into the epidermis. This means that they have an increased ability to cause several types of skin cancer. 

UVB rays are more frequent during the warmer half of the year. Consequently, they're around the most beginning in Mid-April and ending in Mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, they run the opposite schedule. These rays of light are far more reflective than UVA rays. Up to 80% of their brightness is retained after they bounce off of shiny surfaces such as snow, ice, and glass. While the waves are scattered on their way down to Earth, they unify after hitting a reflective surface and travel in a straight polar fashion. Aptly named, polarized sunglasses bounce these rays away before they can reach your eyes and do wonders in protecting vision and protecting the skin that their lenses cover. 

The information we've just presented in the previous paragraph is not only educational; it also provides us with the perfect segue for us to tell you all about polarized sunglasses. Polarized sunglasses are designed to block out these harmful rays and protects against cataracts as well as skin problems, both aesthetic and health endangering. A set of our promotional designer polarized sunglasses will prove effective in reducing glare during sunset driving. They're perfect for any motorist, whether they're operating an automobile motorcycle. They work well for bicyclists too, as well as most any other variety of outdoor athlete. Whether it's for work or play, polarized sunglasses are perfect for reducing glare from the red hot summer sun or winter ice and snow. The only people they're not recommended for are skiers, who will need to see icy patches in order to avoid potential danger. If you're in the skiing business or have customers who are, polarized sunglasses might not be the ideal vehicle for promoting your brand. Fear not, as we also carry a broad selection of mirrored sunglasses.

Here's a video that explains how polarized sunglasses work:

Mirrored sunglasses, which are also called reflective sunglasses, are both stylish and functional. Their coated lenses act as one-way mirrors. These lenses block out excessive sunlight without reflecting any light or other images back into your eyes. They can reduce light by up to 60%, which can come in handy at any time of the year. They're very sturdy and are a good option for sailors, skiers, mountain climbers, or snowboarders. Mirrored sunglasses are especially handy on the water, at high altitudes, and in areas with lots of ice and snow. They can also be produced with lenses of most any color. 

Venice Polarized Sunglasses

Now that you know what polarized and mirrored sunglasses are for, it's time to take a look at one of our top-selling models of designer polarized sunglasses. Venice designer polarized sunglasses have that perfect Southern California surfer style flare that is always a hit when the mercury rises. Available in bright red, blue, and silver, these are eye-catching shades that will have people seeing and remembering your company logo wherever they are worn. Single and multi-color company logo imprinting is available on one or both arms (the non-lens portion that runs from the front of the face to the ears) of these promotional designer sunglasses. 

Wearers and observers of these custom polarized sunglasses will associate your brand with high quality and style due to all of the features they offer. With scratch resistant coating, super durable (and comfortable) flexible rubber tipped frames, and 400 UV filter protection, these promo sunglasses work hard to provide the ultimate in style, comfort, and protection. If the 400 UV filter part threw you for a bit of a curve, we'll quickly explain it. Do you remember when we mentioned the maximum UV wavelength being 400 nanometers? That's precisely what the UV filter number refers to. A UV filter rating of 400 means 100% protection from ultraviolet rays. These sunglasses are a hit when at the beach, lounging around at the pool, or going for a drive or bike ride when glare is at its worst. 

Under Armour Promotional Designer Sunglasses

Promotional Under Armour sunglasses are another one of our most popular items. Under Armour is a name known around the world for fashionable products of exceptional quality. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that they produce some of the best promotional sunglasses money can buy. We carry four different varieties of custom designer sunglasses from Under Armour. Each comes with its own set of features and benefits, and we'll tell you a little about each model to help you find the best serve your business promotional needs. First up are Under Armour Core 2.0 Shiny Black Sunglasses. 

With their snug yet comfortable fit, these are sunglasses that are popular with athletes who want durable sunglasses that won't come out of place. Their curved partial wrap-around lenses protect all parts of the eye, ensuring that even peripheral vision is protected. These promotional sunglasses are brought to life by way of a shiny black finish coating, which creates a slick yet stoic look. They come with a luxurious thick cloth drawstring case, which is imprinted with your business logo. Text and image full-color printing makes your company logo imprint impossible to ignore. They're a prime option for sporting goods businesses, athletic apparel businesses, and sports clinics. Visit our product description page to see additional images and the custom business logo imprinted carrying pouch that comes with all of our promo Under Armour Sunglasses.

The next set of Under Armour customizable sunglasses on the agenda for today are the Double-Down Shiny Gold Tortoiseshell promotional sunglasses. These are aviator style sunglasses, which means they feature large lenses with thin metal frames. These cover all angles of the eye and have a double reinforced nose bridge. They also have plastic coated tortoiseshell ear pieces for an added element of visual appeal. Promotional aviator sunglasses such as these are popular with pilots and anyone else whose career path leads them to take to the skies or high altitudes. 

Luxury performance sunglasses of this ilk can work very well as premium corporate gifts and are well-targeted toward the aviation and motorcycle industries. As is the case with all of our promotional designer eyewear from Under Armour, these sunglasses come with a full-color business logo imprinted high density fabric case. Featuring a drawstring closure, these carrying cases are durable, lightweight, and fade-resistant. 

Satin Black Under Armour cusotm sunglasses are a good choice for anyone who lives an active lifestyle or any business that promotes it. They are extremely durable and will protect your eyes as well as your fashion reputation for years to come. They feature many of the same features as the Core 2.0 Shiny Black Sunglasses, but are slightly lighter and thinner. This makes them perfect for runners as well as a promotional giveaway for sponsoring charity road races and bike races. 

Custom Promotional Slazenger Sunglasses

Another brand of designer promotional sunglasses available from 4AllPromos is Slazenger. The first set of Slazenger sunglasses we'll share with you are custom promotional Slazenger Pilot Sunglasses. As one would likely guess, these are of the aviator variety. In addition to flying, travel, and adventure industries, these are also a great business promotional product for landscaping companies and hardware businesses. Being that these promotional sunglasses are optimum for outdoor workers, they are built with durability, comfort, and vision protection in mind. They're perfect for corporate gifts and have proven to be a hot-selling item in gift shops. 

In addition to protecting anyone who wears them, we offer additional protection for the Slazenger Pilot sunglasses themselves. Every pair comes with a cleaning cloth in addition to a premium hard carrying case which is beautifully imprinted with your company logo.

Any business that features walking, boat, monorail, or motor coach tours as one of its flagship services will find Tour sunglasses from Slazenger to be one of the best custom logo promotional products around. These promotional designer sunglasses also are ideal for colleges and private schools, who can leave potential students who come for tours with a memorial promotional product that will keep your learning institution on their minds. Slazenger Tour sunglasses offer 100% UV protection along with modern, angular lenses. These lenses have a distinctive look, with a unique shape that is partially exposed from the frames. These are lightweight sunglasses that have rubberized ear and nose pieces for maximum comfort. Every pair comes with a cleaning cloth for maintenance in addition to a hard hinged carrying case, imprinted with your company logo. If you're in the market for a truly unique business promotional item, these Tour sunglasses are a slam dunk.

The third pair of Slazenger sunglasses are also the most versatile. Not only are they the most versatile pair of Slazenger sunglasses, but they're one of the most flexible and highly adaptable items within the entire business promotional product universe. The appropriately named Slazenger Multi Lens sunglasses are a great buy for any business looking for a bargain. This is because any company ordering them essentially gets three different products for the price of one. These sunglasses come with three sets of interchangeable lenses, all of which fit firmly and comfortably within the same lightweight frame. A flexible strap is also included to attach to the frames, ensuring that these sunglasses won't fall off or move out of position, even with brisk, speedy, and prolonged movement. 

Clear, yellow, and tinted lenses are all included and each set of lenses can serve a multitude of purposes. These are ideal sunglasses for people on the go who engage in many different activities. Water skiing, surfing, swimming, running, driving, snowboarding, and sun bathing are all activities for which these promotional designer sunglasses are well-suited. Sporting goods stores, surf shops, pharmacies, and most any retail outlet will find these sunglasses disappearing from their shelves and display racks at warp speed. Each pair comes in a premium protective zippered case which is topped with a metal plate, adorned with your company logo.

SpyOptic Promotional Sunglasses

SpyOptic is one of the most innovative producers of promotional designer sunglasses. They have several product lines, including Logan, Discord, and Helm, all of which are represented on our website. SpyOptic was founded in 1994 by a task force of amateur and promotional athletes teamed up with fashion designers. For 23 years, creativity has been their defining trait. Innovative design, quality, durability, and premium functionality define every piece of designer eyewear they manufacture. SpyOptic has invented several items and processes that have brought sunglasses to the next level. Three of their most significant innovations are Trident™ Polarization, Accurate Radius Curvature (ARC) lenses, and Spy Happy Lenses. 

Trident™ polarization is achieved by way of sandwiching a special material between two layers of polarized lenses. The end result are lenses that are extremely lightweight and glare resistant. Ultimately, they're hybrid sunglasses that combine the benefits of both polarized and mirrored sunglasses in a single set of lenses. 

To say that ARC lenses are rugged would be an understatement. They can stand up to most anything you can put them through, with their shatter and scratch resistance keeping them no worse for the wear. They're also designed to provide ultimate visual clarity from all angles, making them among the best designer sunglass lenses on Earth. In our product descriptions, you'll see a number base prefix (such as 6 base or 8 base) immediately preceding ARC lens descriptions. This number refers to the amount of curvature provided by the frames. The higher the number, the more distance the frames cover by wrapping around the eyes and front temple areas.

Spy Happy lenses are another amazing innovation from the great minds at SpyOptic. They create a high-definition visual experience, creating bold color contrast and intensity, allowing users to see the beauty of nature in a way that no other lenses can. They also are notable for blocking out harmful UV rays but letting in "good" light rays. In this case, the good refers to long wave blue light. Long wave blue light is sometimes referred to as violet light and features short, high-energy waves. It is the highest energy form of light that the human eye can see, but does not have the dangerous properties of ultraviolet light, which cannot be seen. 

Interested in how Spy Happy lenses work? Take a look at the video below:

Long wave blue light comes to us naturally from the sun, but also can be produced by man-made equipment. LED lights, fluorescent lights, flat screen televisions, and LCD screens on computers, tablets, and smartphones all produce long wave blue light.(1) Natural blue light scatters freely and easily when in contact with air and water molecules. That's the reason why the sky looks blue and why water looks blue from a distance. In its natural form, long wave blue light has several benefits. It has been shown to elevate alertness, energy, mood, and brain function. It's also the kind of light employed in indoor SAD lights for people with seasonal affective disorder. It also helps to regulate healthy sleep patterns. Conversely, unnatural sources can disrupt sleep patterns, especially when used extensively at night. As they're intended to be worn outdoors, Spy Happy lenses are designed to promote exposure to natural long wave blue light.

Logan Promotional Sunglasses from SpyOptic

One variety of Logan promotional designer sunglasses available on our website is the Logan Green Spectra Lens model. These sunglasses boast 8-base ARC lenses with Trident™ polarization and 100% UV protection. They also feature Spy Happy lenses and provide a visual experience beyond compare. Their black matte arms are scratch resistant are designed to comfortably fit nearly any adult. The green spectra lenses create a stylish color accent that will draw the attention to anyone who sees them. Camping supply companies, outdoor clothing retailers, and mountain climbing product suppliers will all find these to be a perfect fit for business promotional needs. Every pair is individually stored in a premium cloth carrying pouch, imprinted with your company logo. You may view images of the pouches on the product description pages (in the link text) for either model of the Logan sunglasses we carry.

Black Mirror Lens promotional Logan sunglasses bring the best of both worlds when it comes to polarized and mirrored sunglasses. Their 8-inch ARC Spy Happy lenses come with Trident™ polarization standard. Their frames are constructed of pin-hinged Grilamid®, which is one of the most indestructible plastics in existence. These promotional reflective sunglasses come single-packaged in a deluxe cloth carrying pouch which is custom printed with your business logo.

Discord Promotional Designer Sunglasses from SpyOptic

Discord is another exemplary line of promotional sunglasses from SpyOptic. The two styles of Discord sunglasses we're going to profile in this article are Discord Camo Sunglasses with Gray-Green lenses and Discord Green Spectra Lens sunglasses.

Discord Camo Sunglasses with Gray-Green lenses are recognizable by their large frames and semi-rectangular lenses, which are reminiscent of 1980s sunglasses. They have large 6-base polycarbonate ARC Spy Happy lenses with Trident™ polarization. Their camouflage frames are made of extremely durable Grilamid® material, making them among the best promotional camo sunglasses ever made. Each pair comes with a custom logo imprinted soft fabric carrying pouch.

Discord Green Spectra Lens promotional sunglasses have the same retro 80s appeal as their camouflage counterparts. Their 6-base ARC Spy Happy lenses are Trident™ polarized and offer 100% UV protection. These are all claims that are true of the Discord Camo sunglasses as well, but there are some notable differences. These sunglasses have matte black frames and boldly colored green lenses. They're ideal for company picnics, outdoor corporate events, team building exercises, and most any business within the outdoor living industry.

Custom Promotional Helm Sunglasses from SpyOptic

The last pair of promotional sunglasses for business that we'll cover today are SpyOptic's Helm custom promotional sunglasses. These sunglasses, much like the offerings from the Discord line, feature 6 ARC Spy Happy lenses with Trident™ polarization and UV 400 protection. Their soft black matte frames are very comfortable and sit lightly. Their lenses are of a dark gray/green hue which looks great both when roughing it in natural elements or mixing into the urban jungle. A top promotional item for charity events, our promotional Helm sunglasses come with a custom logo imprinted carrying pouch, whose image is visible on the product description page linked to earlier in this paragraph.
