Foldable UV400 sunglasses are handy for commuting, driving, holidays and days out. But a compact design doesn’t automatically mean a pair of sunglasses will be comfortable, durable or suited to your face. There are three common pitfalls to watch out for:
UV400 protection refers to protection against UV radiation up to a wavelength of 400 nanometres. It’s an important feature to look for when choosing sunglasses for everyday outdoor use. Also look for an anti-reflective coating. Sunglasses with anti-glare lenses can reduce distracting reflections from surfaces such as roads, windows or water.
Based on its own research and product information, Beneunder claims that the OAR coating on the FD421 range reduces glare by at least 99.6%. The brand’s descriptions of the FD315 models state that they reduce reflections by at least 99.8%. Use these percentages to compare product specifications; your actual experience will also depend on the light, viewing angle and conditions of use.
For driving, sunglasses with clear colour reproduction and minimal distracting reflections are practical. Always check the product information and any lens category details before wearing sunglasses while driving. Sunglasses aren’t a substitute for prescription glasses if you need them.
Lightweight sunglasses help prevent pressure on your nose and ears when you wear them for longer periods. TR90 is a flexible plastic used in several models in this selection. It can help keep the frame lightweight and maintain its shape, but it doesn’t guarantee a perfect fit.
According to the product information, the Beneunder FD421 weighs 26 grams and folds down to around 35 mm thick thanks to its tri-fold design. The FD315 models also have foldable TR90 frames, soft temple supports and air-cushion nose pads. These may be worth considering if you wear sunglasses for several hours at a time.
Compare at least the following:
A model that folds down small is easier to fit into a coat pocket or washbag. Ideally, store your sunglasses in the case provided and fold the arms in gently. Scratch-resistant sunglasses can still be damaged if you keep them loose with keys or other items.
Why it suits this profile: This Boston-style pair combines a classic shape with a foldable design. It’s a practical choice for everyday use if you’re looking for understated, easy-to-carry sunglasses.
The product description lists a TR90 frame, a folding design and several lens coatings. This means you can look beyond the frame’s appearance alone.
Frame width of around 5.79 inches, adjustable arm positions and, according to the brand, UV400, anti-reflective, oleophobic and scratch-resistant coatings.
Why it suits this profile: The cat-eye shape is ideal if you’re looking for stylish women’s sunglasses with a distinctive silhouette, without having to carry around a bulky, rigid frame.
The adjustable arms and double nose pads are designed to suit different face shapes. Be sure to check the stated dimensions in advance.
TR90 frame, true-colour nylon lenses and, according to the brand, UV400, anti-reflective, oleophobic and scratch-resistant coatings.
Why it suits this profile: This oversized pair is designed for travel, driving and outdoor activities where a larger lens area can be useful.
The dimensions are clearly stated, and according to the product information, the design folds down to around 35 mm thick. So it’s not only large when worn, but also compact when stored.
Weighs 26 grams, with a TR90 frame, nylon lenses and, according to the brand, UV400 and anti-reflective coatings. Available in several colour options.
We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety requirements.
They can be, provided they fit well and the product information confirms UV400 protection. Also check the weight, bridge width and folding mechanism. A compact design is especially handy if you want to carry your sunglasses with you regularly.
Their lifespan depends on the hinge, the material and how you care for them. Open and close the arms gently, store your sunglasses in a case and clean the lenses with a soft microfibre cloth. According to the product description, a scratch-resistant coating helps protect against everyday wear, but it won’t prevent all damage.
Sunglasses with anti-glare lenses can help reduce distracting reflections. Before use, check the lens category, colour reproduction and any restrictions in the product information. If you’re unsure about visibility or road safety, choose a model explicitly suited to the driving conditions in question.
