As someone with light-sensitive eyes, sunglasses are an essential part of my daily life. However, in August, it’s sunglasses weather for everyone in the United States. This month, we’re reviewing a new option from uvex, a brand I haven’t explored before, and their mtn perform V sunglasses.
Design and Fit
The mtn perform V sunglasses are a unique pair for me. While they come in classic black frames, I chose the white version for a sleek summer look. The black option are obviously available if you prefer a more traditional appearance.
These sunglasses feature a large lens shield, suitable for medium to larger-sized faces. They provide high-level performance with an XXL shield without overwhelming the face or extending too far beyond it. Despite their size, they are lightweight and stay securely in place, even when wearing other accessories like hats and open-ear headphones. The grip is secure without causing discomfort, and the nose pads are comfortable.
Lens Technology

The standout feature of the mtn perform V is the lens technology. These sunglasses utilize photochromatic lenses that adjust from dark to light in just 25 seconds, accommodating changing light conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial for activities like trail running, where you move in and out of shadows frequently.
Additionally, the lenses come with an anti-fog coating, which I’m eager to test in colder temperatures. They also have an anti-static coating, making cleaning easier and preventing dust accumulation. Importantly, they offer 100% protection from UVA, UVB, and UVC rays, blending style, technology, and safety into one package.
Specifications
- Frame Height: 62 mm
- Frame Width: 146 mm
- Temple Length: 125 mm
Conclusion
The uvex mtn perform V sunglasses are an excellent choice for those needing reliable, high-performance eyewear. If this specific style doesn’t suit your taste, uvex offers a variety of other options in their performance and lifestyle categories.
