Runner wearing 2nu performance sunglasses on a bright outdoor route for the Running and Driving sunglasses guide.

Your activity match

Train outdoors, then drive in daylight without changing the visual priorities.

This pairing has to manage sweat and movement on the run, then low sun, wet-road glare, and navigation screens in the car. Hexachroma is the screen-friendlier route; TVO Pro focuses on glare. Both are daytime sunglasses, not night-driving lenses.

The four issues that matter most across your two activities

We selected two high-priority issues from each activity. Open any card to see how 2nu addresses it.

01

Slipping—or clamping too hard

Sweat and movement can make sunglasses shift. Tightening the temples too much only concentrates pressure around the nose and sides of the head.

How 2nu solves it

FlexFoam™ + FlexLock™

Adjust the soft, lightweight FlexFoam™ frame by hand first. After about five minutes of wear, it settles into a more stable fit around your head shape. Every FlexFoam™ frame includes FlexLock™, an ergonomic wraparound design that distributes holding force around the head instead of concentrating it at the nose and temples.

02

Low sun and wet-road glare

Morning and late-afternoon sun, wet roads, glass and vehicle reflections can flatten road detail.

How 2nu solves it

Match the lens to daytime driving

Choose TVO Pro when polarized glare control is the priority. Choose Hexachroma when you also want clearer detail and a screen-friendlier polarized option. Both are daytime sunglasses; neither is intended for night driving.

03

Too dark when the route changes

A city run can move from direct sun into building shade, tree cover or cloud. A very deep tint can make darker sections harder to read.

How 2nu solves it

Balanced shade for changing light

For mixed-light routes, 2nu recommends balanced light control rather than simply choosing the darkest lens. Deeper configurations remain useful under sustained intense glare, but mixed-light running needs enough visibility in the shade.

04

Screens that darken at an angle

Some polarized lenses can make navigation, dashboard or reversing displays look dark from certain angles.

How 2nu solves it

A screen-friendlier polarized option

Hexachroma helps reduce common screen black-out effects while retaining polarized glare control. Results vary by display, polarization direction and viewing angle, so test your usual screens while the vehicle is parked.

How we choose

Balanced for Running + Driving

We compare brightness and changing light, colour and contrast, reflected glare and screen use, and frame performance across both activities—then rank the strongest overall balance.

Running

Stable through movement and comfortable as light changes.

Driving

Natural colour and road clarity through glare and changing light.

Questions before you choose

Use these answers to compare the lens, frame and conditions that matter across your selected activities.

01Should I choose Hexachroma or TVO Pro for running?

Choose Hexachroma when flagship outdoor detail and easier watch, phone or GPS checks matter most. Choose TVO Pro when strong polarized glare control is the main priority. Both provide UV400 protection and suit bright outdoor running.

02Will polarized lenses darken my navigation or dashboard display?

They can. Screen behaviour varies by display and viewing angle. Hexachroma is the screen-friendlier polarized option and helps reduce common black-out effects, but results cannot be identical on every screen. Test your usual displays while the vehicle is parked.

03How dark should running sunglasses be for city, cloudy and bright routes?

For routes that move between sun, building shade, tree cover and cloud, choose balanced light control that keeps shadow detail visible. A deeper lens suits consistently bright, exposed routes, but it is not automatically the best choice for mixed-light running.

04Can I order prescription sunglasses for driving?

Prescription availability depends on the frame, lens option and prescription range. Select Prescription in the product callout, then provide your prescription and PD so 2nu can confirm compatibility before production.
