Running in Singapore means full sun, high humidity, and glasses that fog up or slip off the moment your heart rate climbs. Good eyewear isn't optional. It's part of the kit.
That's why we're excited to introduce Tifosi Optics to the Running Lab Singapore lineup.
Who is Tifosi Optics?
Tifosi is a US-based eyewear brand that's been building sport-specific sunglasses for over 20 years.
The brand was founded on a straightforward premise: performance eyewear shouldn't cost a fortune. Most sport sunglasses at the premium end of the market charge heavily for the brand name. Tifosi focuses on engineering instead, using the same high-quality materials you'd find at twice the price and making them accessible to everyday athletes.
Every pair is built with shatterproof polycarbonate lenses, Grilamid TR-90 frames that are lightweight, flexible, and chemical-resistant, and hydrophilic rubber nose and temple grips that get tackier as you sweat. That last detail matters more than most people expect on a long run or ride.
Tifosi is particularly well established in the cycling community, but their performance range translates directly to running, triathlon, trail, and outdoor training.
We're launching with four styles, each built for high-output sport use.
Moab Lite A half-rim shield trimmed down from the original Moab design. Oversized lens coverage, built-in vents to prevent fogging, and three interchangeable lenses included in the box. Available in Fototec photochromic or Interchange options. Strong choice for cyclists and runners who want maximum coverage and lens flexibility.
Navar A half-frame style with a cleaner, more refined look than a full shield. Vented lenses, 100% UVA/UVB protection, and a secure no-slip fit that holds through tempo efforts and longer runs alike. Versatile enough to go from training to everyday wear without looking out of place.
Vogel XC Built for smaller face profiles. At 24g, it's one of the lightest options in the performance range. Bottom lens vents improve airflow and keep fogging in check, and the rimless build keeps the profile clean and streamlined. Comes with two interchangeable lenses.
Vogel SL The full-coverage version of the Vogel. A large wraparound shield lens blocks wind, debris, and UV from every angle. Hydrophilic grips and a low-weight build make it a reliable choice for race days and long training runs where conditions can change.
What about the Lifestyle Range?
Alongside the performance styles, we're also carrying the Tifosi Lifestyle collection: the Sanctum, Swank, Swick, and Shumo. These are built for the off-run crowd, cleaner silhouettes with the same quality construction underneath. Worth a look if you want eyewear that works both on and off the trail.
Why Tifosi at Running Lab?
We stock what we'd actually run in ourselves. Tifosi fills a gap in the eyewear category that we've been aware of for a while: genuinely performance-ready sunglasses at a price point that makes sense for regular training use. You shouldn't have to think twice about wearing your good sunglasses on a sweaty long run.
