Bestia Drive Glasses

Drive Pickleball Safety Glasses

Meet Drive: the most customizable safety glasses for pickleball (and padel)!

They shield your eyes, stay fog-free, and never slip, no matter how sweaty you get! 

You can swap the lenses for indoor and outdoor play, and adjust the temple tips for the best fit.

Plus, we offer this frame in both Standard Fit and Asian Fit frame options to suit your face shape, whether you have a higher or lower nose bridge.

The Drive 'only' took us two years to create, so please enjoy it!

8 reasons you'll love Drive

1. Bestia M1™ High-Contrast UV lenses enhance vision — making the ball pop — cut glare, and block 100% of UV rays.
2. Lens vents in the upper corners allow hot air to escape and keep your lenses fog-free.
3. Interchangeable lenses let you customize your glasses for both indoor and outdoor play.
4. Prescription-ready frames means you can add prescription lenses to all our frames.
5. Adjustable temple tips flex inward and outward for the perfect fit around your ears.
6. Grippy temple tips keep frames from slipping, even when you’re dripping.
7. Standard Fit and Asian Fit frame options — ensure your frames rest on your nose, not your cheeks.
8. Shatterproof ANSI Z87.1-certified lenses protect your eyes from fast balls.

Standard Fit v. Asian Fit

​

If you’re White or of any ethnicity other than Asian, you most likely have a higher nose bridge relative to your cheekbones, and will love Standard Fit.

It features a rounded 8-base front curve that hugs your face for a snug, no-slip fit.

If you’re Asian (especially East Asian) and most glasses dig into your cheeks or slide down your nose, choose Asian Fit.

We designed it specifically for faces with higher cheekbones and a lower nose bridge.

Asian Fit features:

• Narrower 16-mm nose bridge for extra support.
• Larger 11.5-mm nose pads.
• Reduced 4°pantoscopic frame tilt to clear the cheeks.
• Flatter 6-base front curvature.

Lens Type: Non-polarized

Non-polarized lenses preserve natural contrast, depth perception, and true visual feedback, which help you track fast-moving objects, like pickleballs!

In comparison, polarized lenses filter horizontal light waves, which can alter depth perception and court reflections, making these types of lenses unsuitable for high-speed ball sports.

How to adjust your frame

​

With the Drive, we wanted to create a pair of glasses that would never slip, whether you’re dinking around the kitchen or scrambling to hit an ATP (around the post)!  

That’s why we designed Drive with adjustable temple tips.

Too loose? Bend the legs inward for a closer fit around the back of your ears.

Too tight? Bend the legs outward to reduce pressure.

Our temple tips can bend up to 90° inward and outward, so don’t worry about breaking them!

How to change your lenses

​

1. Press the inner button to release the lens catch.
2. While holding the button, grip the outer edge of the lens and pull downward to remove it.
3. To insert a new lens, press the button again and slide the inner edge in first.
4. Push the outer edge into place, then release the button.
5. Give the lens a gentle tug to make sure it’s locked, and you’re ready to play!

How to change your nose pads

​

1. Remove your lenses first (it's easier because they can get in the way)
2. To remove: pinch the bottom tip of your nose pad and pull it away
3. To add: hook the top part of the nose pad over the top nose pad prong, pull downwards and tuck the bottom of the nose pad over the bottom nose pad prong
