Which Sports Glasses Should You Choose for Tallinn Marathon 2026? Our KIIRUS Running Glasses Review
Every small detail matters in a marathon
When preparing for a marathon, most runners think about shoes, nutrition, clothing and training. Sports glasses often stay somewhere at the bottom of the list.
In reality, good sports glasses become increasingly important over long distances – especially when the sun is strong, the pace is high and you simply want your equipment to stay out of your way.
So which KIIRUS sports glasses should you choose for race day?
We took a closer look at three models: VITO, AURA and SIGMA.
KIIRUS VITO
22 gIf your main goal is simply to run, VITO is the model that stands out first.
VITO weighs just 22 grams, making it the lightest of the three models. Over a marathon, that matters more than you might initially think. You don't want to spend the entire race adjusting your glasses, thinking about how they sit or feeling unnecessary weight on your face.
VITO features a lightweight TR90 frame, an adjustable nose pad and a secure fit designed specifically for running and active sports.
- 22 g – exceptionally lightweight
- TR90 frame
- Adjustable nose pad
- Category 3 Revo Silver mirror lens
- Polycarbonate lens
- Designed for running and high-intensity sports
KIIRUS AURA
35 gAURA takes a slightly more versatile approach. Weighing 35 grams, it is still light enough for long-distance running, but its main strength is flexibility.
Adjustable nose pads and temples allow you to fine-tune the fit. The interchangeable lens system gives you more options for different weather and light conditions.
The set includes a Category 3 grey lens and a clear Category 0 lens for lower-light conditions. Photochromic and R/S lenses are also available.
For runners who train throughout the year and in changing conditions, this flexibility may be more valuable than saving a few grams.
- 35 g
- TR90 frame
- Adjustable nose pads and temples
- Interchangeable lenses
- Category 3 grey lens
- Clear Category 0 spare lens
- Photochromic and R/S lens options available
KIIRUS SIGMA
36 gSIGMA weighs 36 grams and has a slightly more classic sports-glasses design. It is a versatile model suitable for running, cycling, skiing, tennis and other outdoor activities.
Adjustable nose pads and temples allow you to fine-tune the fit. Interchangeable lenses make it possible to adapt the glasses to different conditions.
SIGMA comes with a Category 3 grey REVO lens and a clear Category 0 spare lens.
One particularly interesting detail for race day is the additional soft competition nose pad. The silicone nose pad is designed to provide extra comfort and grip during intensive use.

If we had to choose one model specifically for a 42 km marathon, our choice would be VITO.
The reason is simple: for a marathon, we value comfort and low weight above all. At just 22 grams, VITO is clearly the lightest option, while its running-focused design makes it a natural choice for race day.
Whichever model you choose, don't let race day be the first time you wear them.
Try your glasses during a few longer training runs before the marathon. See how they feel after one, two and three hours. Make sure they stay securely in place, don't create pressure points and work well with your running position.
On marathon day, the best sports glasses are the ones you don't have to think about.
See you on the streets of Tallinn – and happy running! 🏃
