Sport is REKS's medium-wrap, general-activity frame -- not a single-sport specialist shape like a golf-only or pickleball-only design, but a frame REKS sells lens options for across several activities on one build. This review looks at what the Sport shape actually fits (and doesn't), how it stacks up against REKS's other shapes for coverage, and which of its seven lens options have real review history behind them.

Quick Verdict
The Sport shape earns its place with two genuinely well-reviewed lens options -- the $29 base Polycarbonate lens (68 reviews, 4.93/5) and the $50 Polarized upgrade (71 reviews, 4.79/5) -- making it a solid everyday/general-activity pick. Its sport-specific lens finishes are a mixed picture: Golf Color-Boosting has real review data from our golf-specific research, but Kontrast has no independently checkable review count on this shape, and the entire Pickleball line (every REKS shape, not just Sport) is brand new with 0 reviews so far.

Medium wrap, lightweight build -- what that actually means for fit.
Unlike REKS's dedicated golf lineup or its newer pickleball-specific lenses, the Sport shape itself isn't marketed around one activity -- it's a medium-wrap frame that REKS then sells multiple lens finishes on top of, letting one frame cover several use cases. REKS's own product copy for the base lens describes it for "everyday use and outdoor activities" broadly, while the Polarized version is called out specifically for driving, water, and other glare-heavy conditions. That framing matches what the shape actually is: a versatile daily frame rather than a single-purpose sport design, with the option to add a sport-specific lens (golf, pickleball) if you need one.
If Sport isn't the right fit, here's where REKS's other shapes are actually covered.
Coverage and wrap angle are the main things that differentiate REKS's shapes from each other, more than the lens technology (which is mostly shared across shapes). Sport's medium wrap sits between a flatter everyday frame and REKS's full-wrap options. The table below is a quick map of which REKS shape to look at for a given priority -- each links to our dedicated review of that shape rather than repeating its content here.
| Shape | Best For | Coverage | Where To Read More |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sport (this review) | General activity -- running, gym, cycling, driving | Medium wrap | See our other REKS shape reviews below for the alternatives. |
| Sling Blade | Golf and everyday, most review history overall | Medium wrap | REKS's single most-reviewed shape (250 reviews) -- read our full Sling Blade review. |
| Wrap Around | Maximum peripheral coverage, bright/side glare | Full wrap | Featured alongside Sport in our Unbreakable frame material review. |
| Golf-specific shapes | Dedicated Color-Boosting lens, 3 shapes offered | Varies by shape | Covered in full in our dedicated REKS golf sunglasses review. |
All 7 lens finishes REKS currently offers on this shape, with an honest note on review data for each.
| Lens Option | Best For | Price | Review Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polycarbonate (non-polarized) | Gym, everyday errands, mixed light | $29.00 $35.00 | 68 reviews, 4.93/5 -- highest-rated Sport configuration. |
| Polarized | Running, cycling, driving, water | $50.00 $60.00 | 71 reviews, 4.79/5. |
| Golf Performance | On-course color/contrast | $60.00 $75.00 | Shared Color-Boosting line covered in our dedicated golf review -- 36 reviews, 4.75/5 for this shape. |
| Kontrast (High Contrast Rose) | Everyday contrast boosting, overcast days | $60.00 $75.00 | Not shown on the collection grids we checked -- no separate review count found. |
| Kontrast Photochromic | Changing light, indoor-to-outdoor transitions | $60.00 $75.00 | Same disclosure as above -- no separate review count found. |
| Pickleball Performance | Racquet-sport specific tuning | $60.00 $75.00 | 0 reviews as of Sept 2026 -- REKS's entire pickleball line, every shape, is brand new. |
| Pickleball Photochromic | Indoor/outdoor pickleball, clear-to-tint | $60.00 $75.00 | Same 0-review disclosure -- too new for any shape to have review history yet. |
Every tier above also supports an "Add Rx Lenses" prescription option at checkout, priced live based on your prescription strength and chosen lens finish.

Tap a question to expand the answer.
Per REKS's own product description, the Polycarbonate lens is positioned for "everyday use and outdoor activities" generally rather than one specific sport -- and the Polarized version is described for driving, water, and other glare-heavy conditions. In practice, its medium-wrap build makes it a reasonable everyday/gym/running frame rather than a specialized single-sport design; if you specifically need golf or pickleball tuning, REKS sells dedicated lens finishes on this same Sport frame for those (see the lens table above).
Sport uses a medium wrap, less coverage than REKS's full-wrap Wrap Around shape but more than a flat, non-wrapped frame. If side glare or maximum peripheral coverage matters more to you than a lighter everyday build, Wrap Around (featured alongside Sport in our REKS Unbreakable Sunglasses review) is worth comparing before you decide.
Yes -- REKS sells a Golf Color-Boosting lens on the Sport frame at $60 (from $75), one of three shapes in REKS's dedicated golf lineup. Our full REKS golf sunglasses review covers that Color-Boosting line across all three shapes REKS offers it on, with real review data for each.
The Kontrast and Kontrast Photochromic lenses use REKS's rose-tinted contrast-boosting technology, the same lens family as the Golf Color-Boosting option, but we could not find a separate, independently checkable review count for either one on this shape specifically -- they don't appear on the collection pages that show live Judge.me badges. If review history matters to your decision, the base Polycarbonate or Polarized lens has a real, verifiable track record; the Kontrast finishes currently don't.
It's too new to say from review data -- REKS's entire pickleball line, across every frame shape including Sport, shows 0 reviews as of this writing. The lens and frame are the same construction as REKS's other reviewed products, so the underlying build quality likely carries over, but there's no independent pickleball-specific track record yet. Our best pickleball sunglasses guide looks at pickleball eyewear more broadly, REKS included, if you want more than one brand's pickleball line to compare.
The Sport shape's case rests on real numbers for its two core lens options -- 68 and 71 reviews respectively, both above 4.75/5 -- which makes it a legitimate everyday/general-activity pick, not just a marketing claim. Where it gets weaker is the specialty lenses: Kontrast has no independently checkable review count on this shape, and Pickleball is too new brand-wide to judge yet. If you're comparing REKS against other brands for a specific activity, our best sports sunglasses, best tennis sunglasses, and best pickleball sunglasses guides each look wider than REKS alone. For REKS as a brand overall, start with our REKS review.

Bottom Line
A Genuinely Reviewed Everyday Frame
68-71 real reviews on its core lenses, from $29 -- skip the Pickleball lens for now if independent review history matters to you.
