Have it Made in Your Shades This NFL Season

What was green only a week ago is suddenly brown, orange, and yellow. There’s a chill in the air and the store shelves are lined up with giant bags of candy and costumes. This can only mean one thing: fall is here. With fall comes a number of fantastic things, but nothing more exciting than the arrival of football – at least in America. Soon, fans will be filling stadiums around the country, shouting victory cries for their home teams or tasting bitter defeat. It’s also the time of year when tailgates reign supreme, hot dogs and burgers become dietary mainstays, and pickup games of touch football are commonplace.

Just because it isn’t summer anymore, though, doesn’t mean you can stop protecting your eyes. While the days may be getting shorter, you’re still at risk for sun damage to both your eyes and skin – so sunglasses are key. This doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your style in the name of safety; there are dozens of stunna shades that not only offer UV protection for your peepers, but add style on top of all those unsightly layers. Of course, the ladies also have their pick of stunna shades to keep them looking great at the big game.

For those pick up games that can occasionally get a bit intense, you’ll not only want to have some sunglasses for an extra layer of protection from the sun, but also the fingers and elbows of your competitors! Liquid polarized sunglasses will offer you unrivaled protection from the suns harsh rays, and their sleek and sporty design makes sure they stay on your face during the game, giving you one less thing to worry about when you’re in the huddle.

We all know that October is a free for all in terms of weather. By the end of the month we could still be riding high in the 60’s and 70’s, or we could be in the midst of a snowstorm. For the latter situation, we all know that true fans and tailgaters don’t let a little of the white stuff keep them away from their team (unless they’ve got DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket waiting at home). Despite your dedication, you’ve still got to protect yourself against a whole new set of issues, namely that blistery cold air and the potential for frostbite. Balaclavas will provide your whole face with protection and warmth. You’ll have happy, rosy cheeks after the game while your friends are breaking the icicles off their ears.

Of course, the number of activities you can do during the fall isn’t strictly limited to football and all things football related. One thing growing in popularity lately is motorcycles, and what better way to check out the changing color of the scenery than on top of a hog? With that cold bite in the air, you’ll need to keep yourself protected with a motorcycle riding face mask for under your helmet (the more outrageous the better). Protecting your eyes from the sun and any little critters that can fly into your helmet is also highly advisable. Chopper sunglasses are made specifically to fit comfortably under your helmet, so they’re your best bet to look cool and stay protected on your bike. Ladies, fear not, there are a number of motorcycle sunglasses for you too, like the Highway Honey riding glasses, or womens motorcycle headgear for women including fantastic pink ribbon “flydannas” which are perfect for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

As you can see, no matter what you’re up to this fall, there is no excuse to skimp on protecting your eyes. Don’t think you’re in the clear once summer is over, the sun isn’t taking a vacation, so that means neither can your shades.
