From the Dugout to the Big Leagues: Why I Built the Ultimate Baseball Sunglasses

My name is Peter Maris. For years, I played baseball professionally. I lived and breathed the game. But every time I stepped on the field, I had a problem. The sun. It was either blinding me or a distraction. I tried a bunch of different sunglasses, but nothing worked. They were either too heavy, they fogged up, or they were just a pain to deal with in the middle of an inning.

The biggest pain point? The sun would dip behind a cloud right when a fly ball was coming my way, and I'd have to rip my sunglasses off. Sometimes I'd lose the ball for a split second, and that's all it takes to make a mistake.

I needed a solution that was fast, easy, and reliable. That's why I created Maris Optics and our signature flip up sunglasses.

The Secret Weapon: Flip Up Sunglasses for Baseball

The moment I first used my flip up baseball sunglasses, I knew I'd found the answer. Whether I was playing in the sun or under the stadium lights, I could just flip them up when I needed to, and back down when the glare was an issue. No fumbling. No distractions. Just pure focus on the game.

And the best part? They're tough. As an athlete, you need gear that can take a beating. Our Maris sunglasses are built with a durable, lightweight lens that can handle whatever you throw at them. Drops, bumps, and even a rogue fly ball won't slow you down.

More Than Just a Gimmick

I designed these for baseball players because I was one. But the truth is, the same problems exist for athletes in every sport. The sun doesn't just bother baseball players. It's a problem for cyclists, runners, and anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors.

That's why our Maris flip up sunglasses are for more than just the diamond. They’re for anyone who wants a solution that’s as quick as they are. Whether you're a player, a coach, or a parent cheering from the stands, these are the sunglasses you've been waiting for.

So, if you're tired of dealing with the sun getting in the way of the game you love, give us a shot. See what a difference a pair of flip up sunglasses can make.
