Quay Sunglasses Named Top Pick for UV Protection Without Sacrificing Style

New York – September 21, 2026 -- Expert Consumers has named Quay a top pick for UV protection sunglasses in 2026, citing the brand's combination of 100% UVA and UVB protection with fashion-forward frame designs across multiple price points.

All Quay lenses claim 100% UVA/UVB protection regardless of tint

Quay states that its full eyewear lineup, including optical and blue-light frames, carries 100% UV protection. The brand's styles span aviators, cat-eye frames, square, round, oversized, and shield silhouettes. Darker lenses do not automatically mean stronger UV protection, since lens color affects visible light while UV blocking depends on the lens material or coating.

Quay Sunglasses Named Top Pick for Everyday Durability in 2026

New York – September 20, 2026 -- Consumer365 has named Quay a standout in its 2026 roundup of durable sunglasses, spotlighting three styles priced between $80 and $115 for everyday wear.

Three styles anchor the review

The feature examines Anyways ($95), Bad Habit ($80), and Backstage Pass ($95 for standard lenses, $115 for polarized). Anyways uses sturdy metal construction with adjustable nose pads. Bad Habit is a lightweight cat-eye design with a flush lens and built-in universal nose pads. Backstage Pass is a square aviator frame made entirely from sheet metal, paired with adjustable silicone nose pads.

Quay Named Top Sunglasses Pick for Wide Faces and Low Nose Bridges

New York – September 20, 2026 -- Expert Consumers has named Quay the top pick for wide faces, low nose bridges, and larger heads in a new 2026 guide to sunglasses fit by face shape. The review highlights three Quay styles -- Nightfall Extra Large, Say Less, and Good Time -- as examples of how frame width, bridge construction, and silhouette address different fit concerns.

Fit and face shape require separate checks, the guide says

Expert Consumers recommends starting with face shape to narrow silhouette options, then checking frame width, bridge design, arm length, and lens coverage. Round faces often suit square, rectangular, or cat-eye frames; square faces can benefit from rounded lenses; oval faces accommodate most silhouettes including aviators; heart-shaped faces often pair well with cat-eye styles. A properly fitted frame should sit level across the brow, meet the temples comfortably, and avoid sliding down the nose.
