Outside of clubs and golf balls, I consider sunglasses to be one of the most important pieces of equipment I own. I live in sunny California, and I often travel to Arizona and Hawaii, which are on the shortlist of places that can claim to have stronger sunshine than the Golden State. It’s critical for me to have sunglasses that protect my eyes and surrounding skin from the sun when I golf. If the sunglasses can enhance my vision when I play, that’s an added bonus.
This year, I’ve had the opportunity to try sunglasses made by JINS, a Japanese company that recently opened its first USA store in my hometown of San Francisco. As I’ll explain in this review, I was incredibly impressed by the JINS sunglasses. They fit me perfectly and have performed exceptionally when I’ve worn them on the links.
