I am a glasses wearer. I don’t necessarily need them to function, but I definitely do better when I wear them all day. That means I have a pair for my constant blue-screen use at my real-life job (and writing here on Run Oregon), an everyday pair, and sunglasses for running outside. In other words, I am constantly cleaning eyewear.
My usual method? Breathe on them and wipe them with my shirt. Apparently, I have been living in the 1990s.
Thanks to trying WHOOSH! Sport Shine XL, I am finally cleaning my glasses like a responsible adult.
WHOOSH! is best known for cleaning screens and tech, but Sport Shine takes that same idea to eyewear. The formula is designed for sunglasses, sport glasses, goggles, visors and other protective eyewear.
If you run with sunglasses, you already know how quickly lenses can collect sweat, sunscreen, fingerprints and whatever else you encounter on a summer run. Having a small bottle and proper microfiber cloth nearby means you can actually clean them instead of rubbing them on the closest shirt.
And it is really simple. Spray it on, wipe it down with the included microfiber cloth and move on.
The difference from my traditional shirt-based cleaning method is pretty noticeable. It removes fingerprints, sweat, sunscreen and the general grime that builds up on lenses throughout the day. WHOOSH! also says the formula helps reduce fogging, which is a nice bonus for runners and other athletes – like snowboarders.
The 3.4-ounce Sport Shine XL bottle is small enough to throw in a gym bag, running bag, purse or car, and the included antimicrobial microfiber cloth comes with a breathable storage bag. The formula is odorless and non-toxic, and the bottle is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic.
Basically, what you need to know is that WHOOSH! Sport Shine is simple, useful, and easy to keep around.
This isn’t a product that is going to revolutionize your running. Sometimes the best gear isn’t something that makes you run faster – it just helps you see where you’re going.
