[PEARLY GATES×SWANS] Balancing UV Block and Visibility! The Appeal of Golf-Specific Eyewear

During a round in midsummer, you want to protect your eyes from the strong sunlight while keeping a close eye on your shots. The golf sunglasses developed through the strong partnership between PEARLY GATES and SWANS are what you want to use on such days. We delve into the charm of a single pair that strikes a balance between “protection” and “visibility.”

Golf-specific sunglasses that thoroughly block ultraviolet rays

The "SWANS×PG Pathway sunglasses" is a collaboration between PEARLY GATES and the sports eyewear brand SWANS. A major feature is the adoption of the golf-specific lens "ULTRA LENS for GOLF," developed uniquely by SWANS. It not only protects the eyes from strong summer ultraviolet rays but also considers visibility needed on the grass.

Cuts UV by over 99.9%! Make a difference during summer rounds

Summer is the season when the amount of ultraviolet rays reaching the eyes increases. Even when wearing a hat, it can be difficult to block light coming from the front or from the ground. The lenses of this model contain ultraviolet absorbers and cut ultraviolet rays by over 99.9%. This effect is excellent and lasts semi-permanently.

From the start to the end of the hole, golf involves spending a long time outdoors. Being able to protect the eyes from ultraviolet rays while wearing sunglasses not only during tee shots but also while walking on the fairway and on the green is reassuring.

Instead of reducing time spent outside just because it’s summer golf season, take the necessary measures to play to the fullest. This is truly a way to fully enjoy summer golf, isn't it?

The polarizing function that suppresses the glare from the grass and makes it easier to find the ball

Another feature worth noting is the polarizing function. By suppressing not only the strong sunlight in summer but also the glare from the grass, it supports your vision during play. The golf-specific "ULTRA LENS for GOLF" takes into account the visibility of golf balls that can easily be lost in the clouds. If you can track the direction the ball is flying from the moment you hit it, it seems like you can reduce the time spent searching for where the ball is.

Of course, it's not just the sunglasses that determine your score. Still, having a clear view that makes it easier to see the ball you've hit and understand the direction you're heading adjusts the rhythm of your round nicely. The ability to combine UV protection and visibility is a significant difference from regular sunglasses.

Lightweight frame and dedicated strap that won’t bother you during your swing

If you’re going to wear them throughout the round, the fit is just as important as the lenses. The lightweight frame is designed to naturally fit your face and minimizes slippage or discomfort even during large movements like a swing. When you want to take off your sunglasses, the included PEARLY GATES original strap comes in handy. It can be kept around your neck, saving you the trouble of putting it in your pocket or bag.

The main unit also comes with a dedicated case. Additionally, separately sold, there is a PEARLY GATES original case equipped with a strap and marker for storing tees. It protects your eyes while making it easier to see the grass and the ball. On days when you want to fully enjoy a summer round, keeping these sunglasses in your bag will help you calmly enjoy golf, which is said to be a mental sport.
