  • Most sunglasses are not designed for strenuous activity, like outdoor runs.
  • Austin-based brand Rōka has helped alleviate this issue with a line of unisex sunglasses designed to never slip off your face no matter what.
  • Beyond being super lightweight and actually staying on your face without sliding down on your nose, these glasses also look great. I've gotten more compliments wearing my Rōkas than any pair of sunglasses I've ever worn.

Since 2011, Rōka has established itself as a leader in performance technology. Originally designed for competitive athletes like runners and cyclists, the Austin, Texas-based brand has pivoted to offer a more widespread variety of styles suited for everyday wear without sacrificing its performance identity.

The brand was started by two former collegiate athletes with a passion for creating technology that helps people maximize their potential. It began with the goal of creating high-performance wetsuits, and have since pivoted to performance eyewear.

The main value proposition of Rōka sunglasses is that they're guaranteed to stay glued to your face. No annoying sliding down on your nose while you're out for a run, no risk of them flying off your face while enjoying a boat ride on the lake, and no nagging pain on the side of your head after long periods of use.

Rōka offers a series of different classic unisex styles, all with the patented technology that sets the brand apart. Also, each pair comes with three different-sized nose pads so the frames fit your nose better.

While you do have to pay a slight premium for this level of technology, Rōka sunglasses are worth it because its face-sticking capabilities reduce the risk of loss or damage compared to traditional sunglasses - all without sacrificing style.

We tried the Rōka Oslo and Turino frames. Keep reading below to see what we thought.
