Baseball and softball players spend hours in direct sun, and the Easton 419 Sport Shield Sunglasses are built to handle all of it - from the first pitch of a Saturday doubleheader to the last out of a Sunday tournament, and every moment in the stands in between. The sport shield design wraps around the face in a full-rim construction that blocks light from the sides and overhead while keeping the full field of view open for tracking fly balls, reading the pitcher's release point, and following the play without any restriction at the edges of the frame.
Impact-resistant lenses with a hydrophobic coating handle the practical side of an active day at the ballpark. The hydrophobic treatment causes dirt, water, and oil to bead up and roll off the lens surface rather than smearing across it, which keeps the view clear through sweaty innings and changing weather without requiring the player to stop and clean the lenses between every half-inning. 100% UVA and UVB protection blocks the full spectrum of harmful solar radiation for complete eye safety across long outdoor game days, and the distortion-free optics ensure the protective lens treatments do not compromise the visual accuracy that players need to make plays at full speed.
The lightweight frames use durable materials to deliver a comfortable, secure fit that stays in place through dynamic athletic movement without sliding down the nose or shifting during a full-extension dive in the outfield. Available in both Adult and Youth sizing to fit the full range of players from youth travel ball through adult recreational and competitive leagues, and offered in seven colorways from Black to Scarlet to Tan, the Easton 419 Sport Shield covers the full spectrum of what diamond athletes actually need from a sport sunglass.

Q&A
Q: What is the difference between the Adult and Youth sizes?
Adult sizing is proportioned for full-grown players at the high school, college, and adult recreational level with a larger frame profile. Youth sizing is designed for younger players with smaller face profiles, providing the same sport shield coverage and performance features in a frame scaled for children and pre-teens. Both share the same lens technologies: 100% UVA/UVB protection, distortion-free optics, impact resistance, and hydrophobic coating.
Q: What does the hydrophobic coating do during an outdoor game?
The hydrophobic coating repels water, dirt, and oil from the lens surface. Rather than spreading and smearing when the lens gets wet from sweat, rain, or the elements, liquids bead up and roll off the treated surface. For players who are active on the field through long games without stopping to wipe lenses, the coating helps maintain clear vision throughout play without requiring frequent lens cleaning.
Q: Are these appropriate for wearing in the outfield while tracking fly balls?
Yes. The 419 Sport Shield is specifically designed for baseball and softball use, and the full-rim shield frame is well suited for outfielders who need to track balls against bright sky backgrounds. The wrap-around coverage eliminates the peripheral light gaps that standard frame sunglasses leave open, and the 100% UVA/UVB protection and distortion-free optics ensure full sun protection without compromising the visual accuracy needed to judge balls in flight.
Q: Can these be worn in the stands as well as on the field?
Yes. Easton's own product description specifically positions the 419 Sport Shield for both players on the field and fans watching from the stands. The sport shield design, full UV protection, and comfortable secure fit make them practical for any extended outdoor time at the ballpark regardless of whether you are on the diamond or in the bleachers.
