REKS Optics – Unbreakable Golf Sunglasses Review

12732

On hot sunny days, sunglasses on the golf course are as essential as shorts and bottled water. If you are like me, I cannot play a round without my shades. Like so many others, I need protection from the sun’s harmful glare.

Inevitably, every year I break or lose a pair of sunglasses which results in a serious conundrum. Do I once again invest in a quality brand name that matches my golf attire and fashion sense, or do I buy a cheap pair at the grocery checkout isle. Knowing full well that my new pair of shades will one day meet their maker?

During the 2017 PGA Show, I found my next pair of sunglasses –  a pair of Wrap Around REKS with Lumilox polarized lenses.

Never heard of REKS? They are a revolutionary opticsbrand who combined shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses with stylish, unbreakable frames. In January 2017, REKS signed PGA Professional Michael Putnam as its first Brand Ambassador. Excuse the pun, but you will be “seeing” more of the brand around the golf course, on tour, and in local proshops.

I was sold on the shades when REKS uttered the phrase, “unbreakable sunglasses.” After hearing the retail price of $50, I quickly reached for my wallet and a second pair.
