SOMETHING COOL: GUNNAR Optiks' New Marvel Gaming Glasses Should Be On Everyone's Wishlist

Sample provided by GUNNAR Optiks

If there’s one thing that is rarely said about gaming, is that we gamers have a strong sense of fashion. And that’s for good reason. We’re usually wearing relaxed-fitted clothing as we grind as hard as we can for that next level. But as a girl who would consider herself to be pretty fashion-forward, I was so happy to see that GUNNAR Optiks had put out its own line of some pretty cool-looking Marvel-themed gaming glasses.

Whether I’m leisurely playing a game, passing time on social media, putting in hours of writing, or even doing my full-time job, I’m always staring at a screen. Luckily, GUNNAR allows us techies the chance to enjoy what we love and look good while we do it. Though there are many different kinds of GUNNAR gaming glasses available, its latest line is that of Marvel’s larger-than-life superheroes.

Characters like Miles Morales, Loki, Tony Stark, and Black Panther, among others, lend their character designs to GUNNAR’s line that makes gamers look really sleek. Not only will you look cool while wearing them, but GUNNAR’s glasses help cut down on blue and UV lights that our eyes are constantly being exposed to daily due to our screens. However, these glasses will help a bit out in the sun too, since they have UV protection.

I chose the Black Panther Mateo design because I wanted something with a heavy-duty metal build. After using them for a few days, I was pretty impressed. But I was even more impressed to find them fully intact after realizing I had fallen asleep with them on and they had been squished under me for most of the night. For $129.99, these things really do stand up against some pressure. The quality of them overall is solid, and my performance while wearing them honestly never felt better.

I had used some blue-light-blocking glasses I had gotten on the cheap from Amazon and had used them for a while. But these blew those out of the water in how comfortable they are and how much they block those harmful lights. If you’re a gamer who needs not just something to keep those blue and UV lights away, but an enhanced look whilst using them, you can also input your prescription into your GUNNAR glasses on the site when you purchase them!

This is the perfect gift for your favorite tech enthusiast this holiday season. Not only will you save their fashion life, you’ll save their eyes. And with the new Spider-Man game releasing, as well as Loki Season 2, you know that Marvel is on that nerdy mind of theirs.
