Times Roam Sunglasses Review - ''Thanks to the clever folding strap that stays securely in place when worn, you can also fold them flat when not in use.''
Posted by Bex Whelan on Jun 26, 2025
The Times Roam Sunglasses were put to the test on a very sunny holiday. I was immediately impressed with how lightweight and packable they are. Thanks to the clever folding strap that stays securely in place when worn, you can also fold them flat when not in use. They’re ideal for wearing loosely around your neck or for storing in your pack or pocket.
The adjustable, flexible strap allows for a one-size-fits-all design, making them suitable for anyone. I found I had to adjust the strap with both hands—it was a bit fiddly at times—but once adjusted correctly, they fit snugly and comfortably in place. With the risk of them falling off eliminated.
The lenses offer full UV protection, and the polarisation performed very well in the bright, sunny conditions—perfect for soaking up the vistas.
Although I had another pair of sunglasses with me on holiday, by the end of it, I found myself reaching for the Times Roam Sunglasses because of how well they performed and how comfortable they were to wear.
