East Asian golfer wearing black 2nu sunglasses with green mirrored lenses for the Water Sports and Golf sunglasses guide.

Your activity match

Long fairway sun to bright coastal water—keep detail, comfort, and glare control aligned.

A full round and a water session both mean exposed light and hours of wear, but water adds wet handling and seawater. Hexachroma supports outdoor detail and phone checks; TVO Pro handles stronger reflection, with confirmed FlexFoam™ flotation where needed.

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

Glare hides changes on the water

Reflections from water, wet decks and pale sand can hide changes in distance, obstacles and surface texture.

How 2nu solves it

Choose polarized control for the conditions

TVO Pro controls strong reflected glare. Choose flagship Hexachroma when you also want more outdoor detail and better readability on phones, watches and other screens.

02

Green and brown ground detail merges together

Fairway, rough, bunkers and shaded ground can sit within similar tones, making slope and surface changes harder to separate.

How 2nu solves it

Prioritize balanced terrain contrast

Hexachroma is the flagship choice when fairway texture, ball tracking and outdoor detail matter together. TVO Pro is the focused option when controlling reflected glare is the main priority.

03

Wet movement can shift the frame

Sweat, spray and repeated movement can make sunglasses shift. Simply tightening the temples can create pressure at the nose and sides of the head.

How 2nu solves it

Adjust first, then let the fit settle

Adjust FlexFoam™ by hand to suit your head, then wear it for about five minutes so the fit can stabilise. Every FlexFoam™ frame includes FlexLock™; its wraparound design distributes pressure around the head instead of relying on one tight contact point.

04

Open tee boxes turn into shaded greens

Sun direction and tree cover can change from hole to hole. A very deep tint can make shaded detail harder to read.

How 2nu solves it

Choose for the whole round

Use balanced light control for courses that move between open sun and shade. Deeper configurations suit sustained intense glare, but the best golf lens preserves useful detail across the light you actually play in.

How we choose

Balanced for Water Sports + Golf

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.

Water Sports

Strong-light control with secure, water-ready performance.

Golf

Better ball and terrain separation without flattening the greens.

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 watersports?

Both are polarized. TVO Pro is focused on controlling strong reflected glare. Choose flagship Hexachroma when you also want higher contrast, more outdoor detail and better screen readability. Choose for the conditions rather than simply selecting the darkest lens.

02Why can a green-coated lens help on fairways and greens?

Fairways, rough, trees and soil sit within similar green-brown tones. A green-coated 2nu lens looks green from the outside but gives a violet-red-leaning view through the lens, helping separate grass, ground and shaded detail more clearly.

03Does every FlexFoam™ pair float in seawater? What about Prescription versions?

FlexFoam™ uses a non-hollow floating frame material. With non-prescription lenses, the complete pair floats in seawater. Prescription lenses are heavier, so Prescription versions do not float. For the strongest flotation performance, choose eyewear carrying the FlowMax label.

04Can polarized lenses darken a rangefinder or GPS 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 the result cannot be identical on every rangefinder, GPS, phone or watch.
