Rec Specs understands the critical role that the right glasses or goggles play in athletic success. Whether you're hitting a fastball on the baseball diamond, dodging defenders on the basketball court, or catching a pass on the football field, the eyewear you select plays a crucial role in enhancing your performance and safeguarding your eyes.
_____________________________________________________________________
Ensuring your sports eyewear fits perfectly is not just about comfort—it's crucial for safety and performance. This is especially important for children, where the temptation might be to buy eyewear that's too large for "room to grow." However, too much growing room can compromise the protective capabilities of the eyewear, potentially increasing the risk of eye injuries. It's a compromise that's not worth the risk.
But how can you tell if your eyewear fits correctly? Comfort is a primary indicator, but there are also several key factors to consider:
Moreover, compatibility with other sports gear, such as helmets, is essential for athletes. Eyewear should seamlessly integrate with helmets and other protective gear without compromising fit or protection. This ensures that eyewear remains secure and comfortable, even when worn with helmets, caps, or headbands commonly used in sports like baseball, football, and lacrosse.
If you find a frame that you love but it doesn't fit perfectly, don't worry. Adjustments can be made to ensure a better fit, whether it's tweaking the tightness behind the ears, altering the length of the temples, or ensuring the frames sit straight on your face without sliding down.
For those curious about sizing, our frames and goggles (as do most from other brands) feature measurements printed on the inside of the frame. These numbers represent the lens width, bridge width, and temple arm length (except for goggles, which do not have temple arms). You can find these measurements listed as product options on each product page on our website. Comparing these measurements with those of your current glasses can give you a better idea of how a new pair will fit.
Rec Specs revolutionizes sports eyewear grip by integrating soft, flexible materials in the temple arms, making them an extension of the strap for unparalleled comfort and stability. This innovative approach ensures that eyewear remains secure, allowing athletes to concentrate on their performance without the distraction of adjusting their glasses. The flexibility accommodates various head shapes and sizes, providing a snug fit that adapts to each movement, crucial in high-intensity sports.
Adding to the grip and comfort, Rec Specs incorporates molded padding that offers additional grip, supreme comfort, and durable protection. This padding not only enhances the fit by conforming to the face's contours but also acts as a cushion against impacts, absorbing shock, and minimizing the risk of injury. It’s a thoughtful design element that ensures eyewear is not just an accessory but a vital piece of protective gear.
Rec Specs takes sports protection seriously, ensuring all its protective eyewear, including frames and goggles, not only meet but exceed the rigorous US impact protection standards. This commitment to safety is evident through the use of polycarbonate lenses, a material chosen for its superior impact resistance capabilities, safeguarding athletes' eyes during play.
Rec Specs adheres to two critical standards in the US: ASTM F803 and ANSI Z87.1. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F803 represents the pinnacle of protective eyewear standards, specifically tailored for various sports. It's the most stringent benchmark, ensuring eyewear can withstand the unique demands and hazards of athletic activities. Meanwhile, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1 standard, commonly associated with occupational safety, further underscores the durability and protective quality of sports eyewear, providing a layer of assurance for athletes in any field.
_____________________________________________________________________
Choosing the right eyewear for sports goes beyond aesthetics; it's about enhancing performance, ensuring safety, and achieving comfort. Rec Specs stands at the forefront of performance eyewear, offering innovative solutions that meet the specific needs of athletes across all sports. By prioritizing fit, grip, and eye protection, Rec Specs ensures that athletes can focus on their game, knowing they have the best possible support for their vision.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are tax-advantaged accounts designed to help individuals save for medical expenses. An FSA is typically offered by employers and allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars for out-of-pocket healthcare costs. On the other hand, an HSA is available to those with high-deductible health plans, providing a way to save and pay for medical expenses with pre-tax money.
When managing FSA and HSA funds, be mindful of important dates. FSAs generally make funds available from the beginning of the coverage period, often starting January 1st, with the expectation to use these funds within the same year. Some FSAs, however, may have different start dates. HSA funds, on the other hand, are available throughout the year, provided you have an existing balance. FSA funds are bound to the coverage period, ending typically on December 31st, with some plans offering a grace period until March 15th of the next year for spending leftover funds. Certain FSAs also permit a rollover of up to $500. It's advisable to consult with your employer for the specific terms of your plan.
At Rec Specs, we offer a variety of eyewear that is eligible for purchase with FSA and HSA funds. This includes prescription glasses, sunglasses, and even safety glasses. Using your FSA or HSA to buy eyewear not only makes financial sense but also ensures you're getting quality vision care. Our range of eligible eyewear meets diverse needs and styles, ensuring there's something for everyone.
If you have a health savings account or flexible spending account, using your FSA/HSA card to order online at Rec Specs is just as simple as using any other credit card. Simply use it at checkout on our website, and enjoy the convenience and benefits of your FSA/HSA funds for your next eyewear purchase.

Investing in your vision health is important, and using your FSA or HSA funds at Rec Specs makes it both affordable and convenient. Browse our collection of FSA/HSA eligible eyewear and take a step towards clearer vision and optimal eye health today. For more information, you can visit our Flexible Spending FAQs.

During winter, the Northern Hemisphere's tilt and the sun's lower angle can cause intense glare from light reflecting off snow and ice. This glare often results in temporary blindness, eyestrain, headaches, and fatigue. The pupils struggle to adapt, leading to discomfort and potentially hazardous situations, especially in outdoor activities.
SOLUTION: Advanced Lens Coatings for Clarity
To tackle winter glare and impaired vision, Rec Specs offers the 2x2 ProCoat, a revolutionary coating that significantly reduces glare and enhances vision. Its dual, double-sided anti-reflective design, combined with quick fog recovery, makes it perfect for combating intense winter glare.
________________________________
PROBLEM: Increased UV Exposure at Higher Altitudes
High-altitude winter activities expose you to stronger UV rays due to less atmospheric filtration. Reflections from snow double the UV radiation, raising the risk of eye conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration, and corneal damage.
SOLUTION: 100% UVA and UVB Protection
We offer a diverse range of sunglasses providing 100% UVA and UVB protection, designed for the active lifestyle of motorcyclists, golfers, winter adventurers, cyclists, and more. Our durable, high-quality Sun Performance line, including stylish options in our women's collection, caters to outdoor enthusiasts. These lightweight and comfortable sunglasses, compatible with prescription lenses, ensure long-lasting protection and style for those who cherish outdoor adventures without compromising their eye health.
________________________________
PROBLEM: Dry and Irritated Eyes
Cold, brisk winds and the winter air can dry out the eyes, causing discomfort and irritation. The natural tear film on the eye evaporates more quickly, leaving the eyes feeling dry and scratchy.
SOLUTION: High-wrap Features and Removable Gaskets
Rec Specs provides sunglasses with high-wrap features and removable gaskets, designed to shield your eyes from every angle. These design elements help maintain the natural moisture of your eyes, protecting them from the drying effects of the cold winter air.
________________________________
PROBLEM: Wind-borne Particles
In winter, the wind carries particles like sand, dust, and salt, which can scratch the cornea and irritate the eyes. This is exacerbated by the cold and dry nature of winter winds.
SOLUTION: Wraparound Eyewear
The high-wrap design of Rec Specs sunglasses prevents these harmful particles from reaching the eyes. Additionally, the wraparound style protects the delicate skin around the eyes from wrinkles, offering both reactive and proactive care.
Your winter activities and personal requirements are unique, and so should be your eyewear. With Rec Specs, you have the flexibility to customize your frames and lenses to suit your specific needs. Whether you need gradient tints to adapt to varying light conditions or polarized lenses to cut through glare on water or ice, we have an option for every winter scenario.
The Strata combines aviator style with advanced technology, perfect for snowy conditions. Its magnetic side shields and removable brow cover offer robust protection against snow and glare. Adjustable and prescription-ready, this unisex frame is ideal for stylish, effective eye protection in winter.
On the other hand, the Pathfinder is your ally against the harsh winter elements. It offers unparalleled protection from wind and UV rays, featuring interchangeable eye cups that keep your vision safe and undisturbed.

Contact is an integral part of the game, but it comes at a cost. Basketball players are susceptible to various injuries, including sprained ankles, jammed fingers, and even more severe issues like torn ligaments. Among these injuries, some can have a lasting impact on your vision. For example, a stray elbow or an accidental collision can lead to corneal abrasions or even retinal detachments, potentially affecting your eyesight in the long run. In fact, estimates from Prevent Blindness stated that more than 6,000 Americans suffered an eye injury related to playing basketball in one year alone.
When it comes to wearing eyewear in basketball, the rules can sometimes be as fast-paced and unpredictable as the game itself. While lower-level sporting events may allow players to don regular glasses, doing so can potentially lead to unwanted injuries and concerns on the court. In many cases, players opt for alternative options that are not only more convenient but also less likely to cause harm, such as sport goggles.
But what about the professional leagues, where the stakes are higher, and the competition is fierce? The actual rules regarding eyewear, especially corrective lenses, can be a bit murkier than one might expect.
In the NBA, for instance, Rule NO. 2, Section II, of the rulebook states that game officials (referees) have the authority to halt any player from wearing anything they consider a risk to others on the court. This theoretically includes regular glasses, which could break and pose sharp edges during gameplay. As a result, most NBA and college players with impaired vision choose to wear protective glasses or goggles, specially engineered for durability and safety on the hardwood.
The story isn't much different when we look at the NCAA (men's and women's) and FIBA. Both organizations briefly mention eyewear in their rulebooks, with a focus on ensuring that it is "appropriate for basketball" and does not pose any danger to players or others on the court.
In essence, all major basketball leagues share a common theme: they allow both protective and corrective eyewear as long as it doesn't jeopardize the safety of anyone on the court. This underscores the importance of choosing eyewear that not only enhances your vision but also prioritizes safety, especially in a sport as physically demanding as basketball.
Not all eyewear is created equal. Rec Specs, specifically designed for sports like basketball, provide a high level of protection that is crucial for athletes exposed to the risk of eye injuries.
Impact Resistance
Rec Specs are engineered to withstand the force of impact, which is essential in a sport like basketball where physical contact is a given. Whether it's an elbow, a stray hand, or an accidental collision, Rec Specs can shield your eyes from potential harm, reducing the risk of injuries such as corneal abrasions or retinal detachments. What sets it more apart is that they meet and exceed ASTM F803 impact resistance standards for several sports. This means they are rigorously tested to ensure they provide superior protection on the basketball court and in various athletic endeavors.
Comfort for Game Day
Comfort is essential for peak performance on the basketball court, and this is where Rec Specs basketball goggles shine. These eyewear options are designed with your game day comfort in mind. They feature adjustable straps and padded cushions that keep the frame stable and secure even during fast-paced sprints down the court. This not only enhances your comfort but also ensures that the eyewear won't distract you from the game's intensity. The headband strap is a great solution to help you perform at your best while providing the necessary protection for your eyes.
Clear Vision and Performance Boost
Rec Specs offer advanced lens technologies that not only protect your eyes but also enhance your vision on the court. Their 2x2 ProCoat (anti-fog and anti-glare coatings) keep your view clear, even during the most intense moments of the game.
Prescription Options
Rec Specs understand that not all players have perfect vision. They cater to a wide range of prescriptions, so even strong prescriptions aren't a concern. This allows athletes with vision impairments to enjoy the benefits of protective eyewear without compromising on visual clarity.
For a deeper dive into choosing the right prescription sports glasses for basketball, check out our comprehensive buyer's guide with expert recommendations.
______________________________________________________________________
Designed with basketball players in mind, this eyewear offers premium optical quality polycarbonate lenses that are shatter-resistant and exceed ASTM F803 impact resistance standards. Its sleek design ensures a wide field of vision, while adjustable straps and padded cushions provide a comfortable and secure fit. This eyewear is also prescription-ready, making it the ideal combination of safety, performance, and style for basketball players.

So, can basketball players wear glasses? While it's technically possible, it's far from the best choice for the rigorous and physical nature of the sport. Regular glasses lack the necessary protection and may hinder your performance.
With Rec Specs, you're making a smart investment in your eye safety and performance on the court.

Adaptive Switch Technology
Fall weather can be unpredictable, with lighting conditions that can change throughout the day. Some Rec Specs sunglasses incorporate an innovative feature known as Adaptive Switch Technology. This groundbreaking Magnetic Interchange Lens System™ utilizes high-energy magnets embedded in both the lens and frame. Whether your day takes you from sunny trails to shaded forests or requires prescription lenses one moment and non-prescription the next, Switch Technology allows you to swap lenses quickly and effortlessly. These lenses securely snap into place, ensuring they stay put, so you can focus on your activities without any interruption.
Wind-Resistant Technology
Fall often brings gusty winds that can be a real challenge for outdoor enthusiasts. Rec Specs incorporate advanced wind-resistant technology to keep your eyes comfortable for fall sports or outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and running. Most of our frames feature a snug "wrap-around" fit that reduces wind penetration. This design not only keeps wind at bay but also ensures proper ventilation, preventing fogging and ensuring clear vision for your fall adventures and sporting activities.
Impact-Resistant Lenses
Falling leaves, branches, or debris can pose a significant threat to your eyes during fall adventures. Most of our eyewear comes with impact-resistant lenses, either polycarbonate or Trivex, providing robust protection. For those requiring additional protection, we offer sunglasses that meet ANSI Z87.1 standards as well as sports performance eyewear that pass for the ASTM F803 certification. These lenses are crafted from durable materials that can withstand accidental impacts, ensuring your eyes stay well-protected against unexpected hazards throughout your autumn activities.
UV Protection
The sun's UV rays are present year-round, and they can be especially harsh during fall when the atmosphere is often clearer. Rec Specs are equipped with 100% UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays. This not only reduces the risk of eye damage but also prevents long-term issues like cataracts and macular degeneration.
Polarized Lenses
To enhance your outdoor fall experience, Rec Specs come with polarized lenses that reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water, leaves, and roads. This feature not only improves visual clarity but also reduces eye strain, allowing you to enjoy the vibrant autumn scenery to the fullest.
2x2 ProCoat
Experience a revolutionary, proprietary lens coating technology with Rec Specs' 2x2 ProCoat feature. This cutting-edge innovation pairs a double-sided, anti-reflective fast fog recovery coating with the base lens of your choice, reducing glare indoors and out while maximizing recovery for clear vision. Whether you're in situations requiring masks or engaged in high-performance sports and everyday activities, this technology delivers unparalleled clarity. With nearly a century of innovation behind it, 2x2 ProCoat enhances your visual experience during your fall adventures, providing both comfort and clarity.
Photochromic Lenses
For those who enjoy fall activities from dawn till dusk, Rec Specs offers sunglasses with photochromic lenses. These lenses automatically adapt to changing light conditions, becoming darker in bright sunlight and lighter in overcast weather. This dynamic feature ensures optimal vision and eye protection throughout your adventures.
As you gear up for the thrilling experiences that the fall season promises, don't compromise on eye protection. Choose Rec Specs, designed with your comfort, safety, and style in mind. Embrace the vibrant colors and crisp air of autumn without worrying about wind, debris, or harmful UV rays. Your eyes deserve the best, and Rec Specs delivers just that.

During his time in Triple-A, Sabo encountered nighttime vision issues that affected his gameplay. Without frequent eye check-ups, he decided to give glasses a try upon a suggestion. The results were exceptional, improving his performance, and he continued to wear them. This choice not only enhanced his vision but also marked the beginning of his iconic look on the baseball field.
When it comes to gridiron greatness, Eric Dickerson is a name that resonates. His choice to wear Rec Specs during the 1984 NFL season wasn't just about protecting his vision; it was about enhancing his performance. Dickerson's trust in Rec Specs gave him the edge he needed to become one of the most dominant running backs in NFL history.
Horace Grant, the American former professional basketball player, made an enduring mark with his iconic goggles on the court. They weren't just a fashion statement; they were a practical choice. After having surgery to correct his nearsightedness, Grant turned to goggles for added eye protection. This decision began during his college basketball days at Clemson University, where he discovered that they not only improved his vision but also provided essential protection. Over time, the goggles became a part of his identity as a player, and he found it hard to imagine playing without them.
Edgar Davids, one of the best Dutch footballers in history, was renowned for his exceptional versatility and unique style, which often included protective glasses. In 1999, he adopted this distinctive eyewear following surgery in his right eye due to glaucoma, a condition that had developed in 1995 as a result of previous eye injuries. Davids' choice to wear protective glasses not only added to his iconic look but also served as a reminder of his resilience in the face of adversity.

The recent data is alarming — over 32,000 cases reported last year, indicating a nearly 20% increase in sports-related eye injuries in the United States. The details further point to the highest rate of injuries caused by “non-powder guns, darts, arrows, and slingshots,” whereas children aged 0-14 primarily faced dangers in “pools and water sports.” These injuries encompass a range of issues including blunt trauma, penetrating injuries, and infections, extending to corneal scratches and abrasions.

Once you have a clear understanding, you can better evaluate the range of options.
Comfort: Think ergonomically mastered frames that mold to your face, offering unparalleled comfort through those marathon workdays.
Durability: Your glasses aren't just an accessory; they’re your shield. Choose a pair built like a tank to withstand daily abuse.
Optical Clarity: Settle for nothing less than crystal-clear, distortion-free lenses. If you're not seeing 20/20, you're not at 100%.
Cost-Effectiveness: Sure, you can't put a price on safety, but you can invest smartly.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) sets the bar for eyewear safety with its Z87.1 rating. This is your unassailable guarantee that the eyewear can withstand the punishing tests for impact resistance, lens retention, and full-eye coverage. Before you even shortlist a pair, make sure they don’t just meet but crush this standard.
Frames can be crafted from various materials, including:
Look for features like adjustable nose pads and temple grips. The frame should sit comfortably against your brow and cheekbones without pressing into your skin. The better the fit, the less likely you are to remove them, thereby keeping you safer.
Frames come with varying levels of coverage. Full-frame glasses with side shields are invaluable for complete eye protection. Wrap-around frames offer similar benefits and are especially useful in physically demanding environments.
PURPOSE-BUILT FOR YOUR JOB. ANSI Z87.1. PRESCRIPTION-READY.
These workplace safety glasses are compliant with FDA, HHS, CDC, & OSHA regulations and guidelines.
Choosing the right prescription safety eyewear can seem daunting, but with enough understanding of what to look for, you can make an informed decision. Explore some of Rec Specs' best of workplace safety lineups below.
For those who rush in when others flee, eyewear is more than a protective measure – it's a lifeline. First responders need eyewear that can withstand intense conditions, from smoke and ash to potential impacts during rescue missions.
Industrial workplaces pose unique challenges, from flying debris to chemicals, and UV radiation. Whether it's the construction industry's symphony of hazards or the oil and gas sector's intricate chemistry, the demands are relentless.
Within the sterile corridors of medical facilities, the precision of vision is paramount. Our safety eyewear ensures that medical professionals can focus on intricate procedures without the worry of chemical or substance exposure. With ergonomic designs and anti-glare features, they can perform their duties with precision and protection.
Rec Specs extends its commitment to encompass the office landscape, providing eyewear that not only meets safety standards but also takes your daily work grind into account. Your eyes deserve nothing less than the best, whether you're out in the field or behind a desk.

]]>Among the crucial pieces of gear that often go unnoticed but play a pivotal role in enhancing both safety and accuracy is eyewear. Understanding the specific needs of each shooting vertical and choosing the right eyewear is paramount for any enthusiast or professional looking to excel in their chosen discipline.
Hunting is a primal art that requires stealth, precision, and quick reactions. As hunters venture into the wild, they face unpredictable weather conditions and potential dangers.

Clay shooting demands a unique set of eyewear characteristics. As participants engage in shooting moving targets, they require shooting glasses that enhance contrast and visibility to spot clay pigeons swiftly.
Recoil lenses come in a range of tints, including amber and vermillion, which offer exceptional contrast enhancement. This allows clay shooters to distinguish the orange targets against the sky more easily, leading to improved accuracy and overall performance. The lightweight and ergonomic design of Recoil glasses ensures maximum comfort during long shooting sessions. Its cable temples and flex hinges keep the shooting eyewear securely in place, even during rapid movements, allowing clay shooters to focus solely on their aim.
Indoor shooting competitions pose unique challenges due to artificial lighting and varying backgrounds. Shooters need eyewear that minimizes glare, reduces eye strain, and optimizes visibility in indoor shooting ranges.
The lenses of Recoil are equipped with an anti-reflective coating, which significantly reduces glare caused by artificial lights in indoor ranges. This ensures that shooters maintain a clear view of the targets without being distracted by reflections.

Recoil's interchangeable lenses allow you to customize your eyewear based on the lighting conditions you encounter during shooting activities.

Investing in Recoil's shooting glasses with interchangeable lenses can save you money in the long run.

]]>Hidden within sunlight are ultraviolet (UV) rays, which are a form of potentially harmful electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun. These UV rays are classified into three types: UVA, UVB, and UVC. While the Earth's ozone layer absorbs the majority of UVC rays, UVA and UVB rays can still penetrate the surface and pose significant risks to your eye health over time.
Rec Specs, with its commitment to eye safety, incorporates advanced lens technology that offers optimal UV protection.
Rec Specs performance sunglasses feature polarized lenses that not only offer UV protection but also minimize glare. Polarized lenses have a unique filter that blocks intense reflected light, such as sunlight bouncing off water, snow, or shiny surfaces. These enhance visual clarity, reduce eye strain, and improve overall comfort, especially in bright outdoor conditions.
Rec Specs also offers lenses that have the ability to automatically adjust their tint or “transition” from clear to tinted based on the intensity of UV light. When exposed to UV rays outdoors, the lenses darken to provide full UV protection. In indoor environments, they quickly and seamlessly become clear. This technology ensures continuous UV protection without the need to switch between sunglasses and regular eyeglasses.
Rec Specs exceptionally offers a revolutionary, proprietary lens coating technology that pairs double-sided, anti-reflective fast fog recovery coating with the base lens of your choice, reducing glare indoors and out while maximizing recovery for clear vision.
_____________________________________________________________________
Over the years, Rec Specs has stood at the forefront of eye protection with its innovative lens technologies designed to offer the best possible UV protection. The combination of UV-blocking coatings, polarized lenses, impact-resistant materials, and transition lens technology ensures that your eyes are shielded from harmful UV rays while providing exceptional clarity, durability, and comfort all year round.

The sun's harsh UV rays, sand particles carried by the wind, water splashes, and flying debris all have the potential to compromise your vision and diminish your overall sporting experience. By investing in the right eye gear, you not only enhance your performance but also ensure the well-being of your eyes, guarding against potential injuries and long-term damage.
Rec Specs offers a wide range of sports eyewear meticulously crafted to meet the demands of these summer-specific activities.

As the crack of the bat fills the air and the ball soars through the sky, baseball players must protect their eyes from various potential hazards. Whether you're in the outfield tracking a high fly ball or at the plate facing a fastball, the right eyewear is essential. Baseball-specific sunglasses with impact-resistant lenses shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, reduce glare, and provide enhanced contrast to help you track the ball with precision. Additionally, they protect your eyes from stray pitches, flying dust, and debris, ensuring you can play with confidence and focus.
With its fast-paced nature and dynamic movements, soccer demands excellent vision and spatial awareness. As you sprint across the field, dodge opponents, and make accurate passes, your eyes are susceptible to injury from stray elbows, fingers, or airborne objects. Soccer-specific sports goggles or protective eyewear with shatterproof lenses offer impact resistance, shielding your eyes from potential harm. Furthermore, these goggles ensure clear vision, reduce glare, and protect against harmful UV rays, enabling you to dominate the field without compromising your safety.
The high-flying, fast-paced game of basketball requires exceptional visual acuity and quick reactions. Amidst the intensity of the game, players often face accidental pokes, finger swipes, or even inadvertent elbows that can pose risks to the eyes. Wearing protective sports goggles or basketball-specific eyewear with sturdy frames and impact-resistant lenses safeguards your eyes from injury while maintaining optimal visual performance. Additionally, these eyewear options can reduce glare, improve contrast, and offer UV protection, allowing you to focus on the game and excel on the court.
e.g., Jet Skiing, Surfing, Water Skiing, Wakeboarding
Summer is synonymous with thrilling water sports, where speed and aquatic adventures take center stage. Whether you're riding a Jet Ski, water skiing, or wakeboarding, your eyes are exposed to wind, water splashes, and potential impact. Specialized water sports goggles or sunglasses with hydrophobic lenses and secure fits protect your eyes from water impact, reduce glare, and provide clear vision, ensuring you can make the most of these exhilarating activities while keeping your eyes safe.
Beach volleyball combines intense athleticism with the sandy seaside environment. As you leap, dive, and spike, your eyes are susceptible to sand particles whipped up by the wind. The proper eyewear, like wraparound sports sunglasses with impact-resistant lenses, shields your eyes from flying debris and reduces the risk of irritation or injury. With clear vision and unhindered focus, you can dominate the game while ensuring your eyes are protected.

Rec Specs has got you covered with a selection of first-rate polarized sunglasses that not only solve these issues but also elevate your outdoor fun this summer. Let's dive into the perks of polarized sunglasses and find out why they're a crucial addition to your adventure gear.
Polarized sunglasses are a sophisticated and highly effective type of eyewear specifically designed to reduce glare caused by sunlight reflecting off various surfaces, such as water, car windows, or other reflective surfaces. Glare can be not only a nuisance but also potentially harmful to your eyes, making polarized sunglasses an essential accessory for many outdoor enthusiasts.
The way polarized sunglasses work is through the application of a unique polarizing filter within the lenses. This filter selectively blocks out horizontal light waves, which are primarily responsible for creating glare, while allowing vertical light waves to pass through. By doing so, polarized lenses significantly enhance visual clarity and comfort, enabling you to enjoy your outdoor activities with greater ease and without the strain that glare can cause on your eyes.
Polarized lenses significantly reduce glare caused by sunlight reflecting off surfaces like water, snow, or even car windows. This glare reduction not only provides a more comfortable viewing experience, but it also helps prevent eye strain and fatigue. With polarized sunglasses from Rec Specs, you can enjoy your outdoor activities without squinting or experiencing discomfort.
By reducing glare, polarized lenses improve overall visibility, allowing you to spot potential hazards more quickly. This enhanced vision is particularly important when engaging in activities like cycling or trail running, where obstacles and uneven terrain can pose a risk. Rec Specs' polarized sunglasses provide you with the clarity you need to stay safe during your outdoor adventures.
Polarized lenses filter out certain wavelengths of light, resulting in more accurate color perception. This can make your surroundings appear more vibrant and detailed, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to your outdoor activities.
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage your eyes and increase the risk of cataracts and other eye conditions. Rec Specs' polarized sunglasses provide 100% UV protection, ensuring that your eyes are shielded from harmful rays while you're out exploring.

Shooting glasses not only protect your eyes from potential hazards such as debris and sunlight, but they can also enhance your visual clarity, accuracy, and reaction time, giving you a competitive edge. Experienced shooters understand that shooting glasses are a must-have accessory that can make all the difference in their split-second decision making.
However, not all shooting glasses are created equal, and different shooting disciplines require different types of shooting glasses. Recoil by Rec Specs recognizes this and offers a range of lens tints tailored to the needs of different shooting disciplines.
_____________________________________________________________________
Sporting clays simulate real hunting scenarios, and lighting conditions can vary dramatically, from bright sunshine to dark shadows. Shooting glasses with versatile lens tints that can adapt to changing lighting conditions are necessary to maintain optimal visual clarity and contrast. Recoil by Rec Specs recommends using Target Orange for low light, Target Rose for average light, and Target Purple lenses for ultimate contrast on bright sunny days. These lens tints allow for easy tracking of the clay target against the sky and enhance contrast between the target and background.
Hunting requires shooting glasses with a lens tint that provides enhanced contrast and visibility when hunting different game species. Recoil by Rec Specs recommends using Target Yellow lenses for first light or hunts close to sunset, Target Rose lenses for daytime Pheasant, Quail, or any upland game hunting, and Target Bronze lenses designed to increase contrast of prey against outdoor background colors.
Competitive shooting, such as IPDA, USPSA, 3-Gun, and IPSC, requires the shooter to be able to quickly assess and respond to different situations in varying lighting conditions. For this discipline, shooting glasses with a comprehensive selection of lens tints are recommended, such as Recoil by Rec Specs' Action Shooting Sports Package. This package includes a set of Target Yellow lenses for low light conditions, a pair of Target Orange lenses for additional light transmission and increased target contrast, and a Target Bronze lens for bright, sunny days.

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), nearly 30,000 sports-related eye injuries are treated in U.S. emergency rooms each year. The good news is that 90% of these injuries could be prevented by wearing appropriate protective eyewear.
Although eye injuries can occur in almost any sport, certain activities pose a higher risk due to the nature of the game, the equipment used, or the intensity of the competition. Here are some of the sports with a higher likelihood of causing eye injuries:
Basketball: The close proximity of players, high-speed passes, and flying elbows make basketball a common culprit for eye injuries such as corneal abrasions, orbital fractures, and retinal detachments.
Baseball and Softball: The fast-moving balls and flying bats in baseball and softball can lead to serious eye injuries, including blunt force trauma, fractures, and hyphema (bleeding inside the eye).
Hockey: With pucks flying at high speeds and players colliding on the ice, hockey is a sport where eye injuries such as orbital fractures, retinal detachments, and corneal lacerations are not uncommon.
Racquet Sports (Tennis, Squash, and Badminton): The small, fast-moving balls in racquet sports can cause significant eye injuries, including hyphema, retinal detachments, and even ruptured eyeballs.
Soccer: While soccer may be low-contact at times, players still face the risk of eye injuries due to high-speed ball impacts, collisions, and accidental hits from opponents' limbs during the game.
To help prevent sports-related eye injuries, it's essential to follow these safety guidelines and best practices:
Use helmets with built-in face protection: In sports like hockey, baseball, and lacrosse, wearing a helmet with a face cage or shield can provide additional protection for your eyes and face.
Follow the rules and practice good sportsmanship: Abide by the rules of your sport and avoid engaging in overly aggressive or dangerous play. Good sportsmanship can help reduce the risk of injuries for all participants.
Keep the playing area well-maintained: Ensure that the playing surface is free of debris or hazards that could lead to falls or collisions, and that the boundaries are clearly marked to prevent players from running into obstacles.
Choose sports equipment with safety features: Opt for sports gear that is designed with safety in mind, such as balls made from softer materials or racquets with protective guards.
Wear appropriate protective eyewear: Choose sport-specific protective eyewear, such as safety goggles, glasses, shields, or eye guards, that are designed to provide maximum protection for the particular sport you're participating in. Ensure that the eyewear meets the required safety standards and fits comfortably and securely.
Sport-specific design: Rec Specs offers a wide range of protective eyewear tailored to the unique demands of various sports, ensuring optimal performance and protection for each activity.
Durability and impact resistance: Rec Specs eyewear is crafted using high-quality materials that can withstand the rigors of sports, providing superior impact resistance and protection against potential hazards.
Comfortable fit: Rec Specs eyewear is designed with adjustable features and ergonomic designs to ensure a secure and comfortable fit during high-intensity activities.
Certified safety standards: Rec Specs protective eyewear meets or exceeds the required safety standards, such as ASTM F803 and ANSI Z87.1, providing peace of mind and confidence in the level of protection they offer.
Enhanced vision: Many Rec Specs models come with advanced lens technologies, such as 2x2 ProCoat (anti-glare and anti-fog coatings), UV protection, and polarized or photochromic lenses, which help to improve visual clarity and reduce glare during outdoor sports.
Prescription compatibility: Rec Specs provides a wide range of prescription lens options for athletes who need corrective eyewear, catering to various prescriptions and ensuring optimal performance on the field. This enables athletes to enjoy the benefits of protective sports eyewear without compromising their vision or competitive edge.
Parents and children alike should prioritize vision safety by selecting the perfect pair of glasses designed for their specific sport. By raising awareness and taking the necessary precautions, we can all contribute to a culture of eye safety in the world of sports.

]]>The tint of your shooting glasses can affect your ability to track a moving target and make quick, precise shots in changing light conditions. The world of lens tints can be overwhelming, but don't let it hold you back on the range - explore your options and elevate your shooting game.
It's no secret that shooters have different preferences when it comes to the color of their shooting glasses lenses. Some swear by amber lenses, while others prefer yellow or rust orange. At the range, you'll see some shooters sporting clear safety glasses, while others opt for darker lenses. If you're shopping for prescription shooting glasses, it’s important to note that your lens choice is just as important as the safety certification of your glasses.
CLEAR
Clear lenses provide the clearest view of the target. For indoor shooting or low-light conditions, clear lenses allow the maximum amount of light to enter the eye, providing a clear and unobstructed view of the target. They can also be a good option for shooters who require prescription lenses since they don't alter the color of the environment.
YELLOW
Yellow lenses provide optimal visibility in low-light conditions, making them ideal for hunting, skeet, and target shooting in overcast weather or in the woods. They provide enhanced contrast and depth perception, making it easier to distinguish targets from the background.
ROSE
Rose lenses provide excellent contrast and depth perception, highlighting orange targets and defining black ones. They work well in a range of lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to overcast skies. Rose lenses can also reduce eye strain and improve visual acuity.
ORANGE
Orange lenses are a favorite among trap shooters and hunters, as they enhance contrast and block blue light, making it easier to see targets against a blue sky. They can also increase depth perception, which is essential for hitting targets on the skeet or trap range. Orange lenses are an excellent alternative to yellow lenses for those who are more sensitive to light but still need a low-light option.
PURPLE
Purple lenses are a newer option for shooting glasses and have become increasingly popular for hunting and field sports in recent years. They're designed to enhance contrast and provide a sharp image, making it easier to track fast-moving targets. These lenses are best used in a wooded area or green backgrounds since the purple tint will mute the greens and highlight the orange color of the target against the background.
VERMILLION
Vermillion lenses are another popular choice for shooting glasses, as they enhance contrast and brighten the environment. They're especially useful in overcast or hazy conditions, and they can improve visual acuity and reduce eye strain. They are an alternative to purple tint for those who are more sensitive to light but still need a lens tint that provides contrast and improves visual acuity.
BRONZE
Bronze lenses are a great choice for shooting in bright sunlight, as they reduce glare and provide a warm tint that can improve contrast. They're also effective in bright light conditions and are a perfect combination of traditional target orange color and the right amount of eye-relaxing sunglass brown. The bronze tint enhances contrast and provides a warm, pleasant view that's perfect for outdoor shooting.
GREY
Grey lenses are a versatile option that work well in a range of lighting conditions. They reduce brightness and glare in bright sunlight, while also providing a neutral color balance that doesn't alter the environment's colors. These lenses are best used in bright sunlight, especially for shooters who have high light sensitivity due to their light eye color.

Your eyesight is crucial to your accuracy on the range - after all, you can only shoot what you can see. Unfortunately, eye injuries are all too common and can be detrimental to your vision. With approximately 30,000 firearms-related incidents each year (including paintball sports), and hunting accidents also contributing to eye injuries, it's important to take the necessary precautions to protect your eyes.
Here's what to look for when buying shooting glasses, and why Rec Spec's Recoil is your perfect choice for optimal eye protection on the range.
When selecting frames, consider both durability and comfort. Look for materials that are rugged and lightweight, ensuring an even distribution of weight for a balanced fit.
Always opt for an industry-leading, shatter-resistant lens material. This ensures superior optical quality and clarity while also providing a lightweight feel that won't weigh you down during long days on the range or in the field.
The 2x2 ProCoat lens technology boosts shooting glasses performance with its top-notch anti-fog and anti-glare features. It keeps your vision clear in various conditions, eliminating glare and fog, and helping you stay focused and accurate. This game-changing lens coating ensures better visibility and confidence for every shooter.
Additionally, shooting lenses should be 100% prescription ready, allowing you to customize your glasses to your unique vision needs. This is particularly important for those who require corrective lenses, as it allows you to maintain optimal visual acuity while still benefiting from the eye protection that shooting glasses provide.
Keep in mind the varying light conditions you may encounter while on the range or in the woods. One option to address this is to choose lenses with tints that enhance contrast and depth perception in specific environments.
