All Eyes on FKT: Sunglasses Review
FKT sunglasses were created with trail runners in mind, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t enjoy them on the roads.
Styled like your favorite casual shades but engineered for the trail, the FKT Mineral King sunglasses deliver the performance you need on your toughest runs.
FKT set its premium shatterproof lenses inside a lightweight, durable frame made of recycled nylon. The polycarbonate lenses deliver 100% UVA/UVB protection and blue light filtration, while maintaining uncompromised clarity and contrast for variable light conditions.
Inspired by the 36.3-mile Mineral King Loop in the Mineral King Valley of Sequoia National Park, FKT designed these shades to perform just as well on the trail as they do at the campsite.

They stay in place and I love the lenses.
Just finished Camelback mtn hike in Scottsdale with the FKT sunglasses. Loved them. Lightweight and comfortable.
Happened upon FKT at The Rut, in Big Sky this fall. Great story, and quality in materials, lens clarity, frame colors and the brown/amber lens. So off into the wilderness I went. 10 hours later I emerged with a fondness for FKT. Back here in New England, friends all loved them, and proceeded to order them. As with all things, styles change and you're left wishing you had backup. So I've got 2 green and 2 tortoise Mineral Kings both with the brown lens. Go big and keep the adventure coming... get em I say
I ordered the tortoise and black before The RUT after first trying them on at a Missoula community event. They are perfect for times where I can't wear my polarized glasses or don't need them. I don't have any depth perception issues at all! The also survived a fall when they were hanging from the front of my shirt. That alone was impressive enough.
I bought these at the Leadville 100 expo 2024. I wore them during the race and beyond. They're awesome. Excited for the future adventures with them on my face!
I've had these for about a month and been loving them. Mainly been using them for running, but also been great for golf and fishing. Fit is super comfortable, don't fog up at all, and the color and darkness of the lenses is perfect for taking out the glare but not being too dark. Highly recommend.
Have had these now about one month. I have never been able to be very compliant with eye protection in the past because sunglasses squeeze my nose and pinch behind my ears and give me a headache. These sunglasses fit so well and are the most comfortable I have ever found. I will wear them hiking and don't realize I am still wearing them and garden and work in my yard all day and never have to take them off due to pain. After being outside for 8 plus hours my eyes feel rested and comfortable and my ears are pain free. I bought the peridot color
Love everything about these. The adjustable sides, the nose piece, the style of them, and the size. These fit with a hat really well and you can wear them for runs or casual.
