Built for the Grind. Proven in the Heat.
The Phoenix was the first performance frame developed during the early days. It was created with a simple goal: build sunglasses that could survive real training environments.
Not beach days.
Not casual wear.
Actual work. Actual training.
The Phoenix has been worn through:
• CrossFit workouts
• Spartan races
• Desert trail runs
• Long training sessions under brutal Arizona sun
Athletes needed a frame that would stay secure, reduce glare, and protect their eyes without distraction when fatigue sets in.
That’s exactly what the Phoenix delivers.
The lightweight Eco-Flex frame provides durability without pressure, while the nylon performance lenses maintain clarity when conditions get harsh.
No gimmicks.
No unnecessary features.
Just performance eyewear built for people who keep moving when others quit.

Well, I found my new favorite sunglasses! Love the look and fit of the Valley Rays Phoenix! I’m a pilot by trade (airlines) and can’t have polarized glasses on the flight deck as it makes viewing some of the displays difficult. The Valley Ray lens are great not only because they’re not polarized, but they also provide higher contrast than my other brand name sunglasses which gives me better field of depth when flying. Bottom line: I LOVE THESE BABIES! Work or leisure, these are now my go-tos!
Best pair of shades in the game! As a competitive CrossFit athlete, I am often searching for a pair of sunglasses that can survive a big set of burpees or muscle ups without falling off of my face and these sunglasses check all the boxes. Durable, effective and stylish!
Huggeeee fan of these sunglasses. I can’t even lie. I’m a person with a bigger head so every pair of sunglasses, I’ve had the past I’ve struggled with mainly because they don’t fit my head. The Phoenix do exactly that. They are a comfortable fit with great lenses. Walks, CrossFit comps, running, biking anything you could do in the outdoors these are a solid choice to go with.
The Phoenix are amazing! Sturdy, comfortable, and they stay in place. The lenses are crystal clear and cover all angles from sun. Going to buy the black pair soon. Way better quality than my Ray Bans and more cost effective. Keep 'em coming!
I love my Valley Rays sunglasses! I'm a native of Phoenix and really dig that the companies roots are here in AZ! It's nice to have a pair of durable sunglasses that can handle some wear and tear. I get compliments when out and about and always recommend them to others. Keep up the great work, looking forward to fresh eyewear in the future! 😎✌️
Crystal clear and made in USA what’s not to like
These are a great pair of shades. If I were to compare them, they’re very similar to what you’d expect from Ray-Ban or Spy sunglasses. Honestly, the weight and quality actually feel more like Oakley. One thing I really appreciate is how comfortably they rest on my nose and over my ears—there’s no pinching or cutting into the skin. Plus, the weight on the bridge of my nose is just right, making them easy to wear for long periods. Overall, I’m really happy with these sunglasses.
The Phoenix is awesome and super comfortable. They fit great with great clarity. They are built great and springs are super strong.
These shades are fantastic! I have a pretty big head so these are the first pair of this style that has fit. The polarized lens are amazing and the matte black frame looks really good with the blue lens. The customer service is top notch, within 1 day I was emailed back about my hinge braking on my first pair. They let me know when the pair I wanted was back in stock and I received my new pair within 2 days in Chandler. Not only are you paying for high class shades at a more than reasonable price with a warranty, but a growing business who cares about their consumers. I highly recommend to all.
Extremely comfy and more importantly they don’t fall off. I use these while working as a landscaper and I absolutely love the way they fit and the way they look. I’ve been consistently choosing to where these over my oakley Holbrooks since I got them. GREAT PAIR OF SUNGLASSES.
Love wearing these and they stay on your face even when it’s humid out!
Love these sunglasses! The frames are very sturdy and provide a comfortable fit. These mirrored polarized lenses are better than the lenses I am used to from their overpriced competitors. As they say, “Pimpin ain’t easy,” but these glasses make it that much easier.
These Sunglasses stay nice and tight on my mullet while chasing lightning storms across the lake!
The comfort, style and the affordability of the Phoenix is awesome! I will only buy Valley Rays now!!
Love the glasses got them at a taco festival and they have lasted me so long no breaks or anything
These shades are legit! If you are up on the fence about getting a pair this is a message letting you know to get them, you won’t be disappointed.
The best fitting sunglasses! The Phoenix are super lightweight, clear, great quality. Should be a Groundskeeper choice!
After first trying these on I fell in love with these sunglasses immediately! I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for amazing quality sunglasses!
Love the weight, feel and eye protection the Valley Rays Phoenix provides. Had a few players ask about the shades !! Valley Rays for any and all occasions!!
These sunglasses are absolutely amazing! By far my favorites I've ever had. Super durable and worth all the money! Customer for life for sure!
These sunglasses are QUALITY. I bought my myself a pair a few months ago, and I decided my boyfriend needed a pair as well today. They are flexible, and do not slide off your nose. Absolutely no complaints!
Everywhere I go, these glasses come with me. Light, durable. Total package.
Clean, stylish, local, couldn't ask for anything more in my shades. Premium glasses at budget prices, if you're hesitant, don't be!
I love these sunglasses! Comfortable, fashionable, durable, and the lenses are super clear. Also, the packaging and branding is awesome too, a bonus I wasn’t expecting!
These sunglasses are my new favorites. I bought them to ware at work specifically so they won’t slide off nose when I get sweaty. I was tired of my old sunglasses falling down every 2 seconds, these fixed that problem and man is it a game changer! They feel great, and look amazing. They feel like they should cost double the price, super solid frame and the lenses are high quality! Im super impressed with the quality but it’s not just about the sunglasses. The people that make the sunglasses great have made me a life long customer. Customer service is best in class! Don’t sleep on these, go get you a couple pairs!
These are the best sunglasses I have ever owned, they last longer than those other expensive brands and are 10x more comfortable. Don’t waste your money, get these!
Having used these for a few weeks now I can say they are great! The coloring in the interior text is smearing and wearing off, but that’s due to the AZ heat and wearing these all the time. I love the polarization on the lenses and the finish is really good. Just wish the interior writing was done differently, this the 1 star reduction. Overall, definite recommend for anyone looking for a great pair of good looking sunnies especially for those bright sunny SW places!
Great glasses and super fast shipping. Valley Rays are the best!!
Perfect fit
Absolutely love these glasses! Super comfortable and clear. Great job guys! And glad to support an Arizona company
I've got a head the size of the moon. These shades fit me perfectly, and the frames hug the side of my head. I've looked far and wide for these shades, and I hit the mother lode with Valley Rays!
The Phoenix Model Fits Nice and Comfortably. The lenses are Super Clear. I really like the carrier tube that came with them for keeping the glasses clean and safe when not being worn. Customer Service was great too!
Very comfortable I forgot I’m even wearing them sometimes.
These sun glasses are awesome The look of them And the way they fit Keep up the great job And I can’t wait to get to Sedona’s for my wife
Great and easy to work with. Love the glasses
Absolutely love these sunglasses! Super nice quality, love the look, they feel great on, and did I mention the quality is very impressive! I used to wear brand name O and will never go back. These are my go-to everyday sunglasses. Will definitely be getting more colors and styles.
I put these bad boys to the test on a five-hour road trip heading from cloudy Michigan down to the sunny south. I have to say, I feel as though I've never seen everything so clearly. It was like I was suddenly seeing the world in high definition. The tint on these sunglasses is perfect; not too dark so I could keep them on when a cloud blocked the sun, but not so light that I still had to squint in full sun. And they're comfortable too. I almost forgot to take them off when I finally walked inside. Overall, these are the best sunglasses I've ever owned!
These glasses are amazing! The materials and build of the frames are and I can tell they will hold up to heavy use. Lenses have held up to multiple drops so far without any scratches. Love the logo too. My new go to shades!
These fit so well, snug but not tight. light weight you don't fell them on your face, the construction is awesome and the lens are great. Stylin' with my Valley Rays.
I’m really impressed with these sunglasses. Style, fit and quality wise, these are easily better than my Oakley’s and on par or better than expensive designer glasses. Then the packaging and attention to detail puts them over the top. Excellent product!
