Detour vs Goodr: How We Stack Up

Goodr was one of the first brands to make running-specific sunglasses mainstream—but over time, they've shifted focus. Their recent branding pivot from “Running” to broader "Sports" shows they're moving away from the serious running community.

Detour, on the other hand, is doubling down on running.

Our customers consistently tell us they notice the difference—clearer lenses, more comfortable fit, and sunglasses that actually stay in place no matter how fast you're moving.

The Detour Warranty: Confidence That Lasts

At Detour Sunglasses, we stand firmly behind the durability and quality of our products. Our warranty policies are crafted to offer you peace of mind and ensure that your investment is protected.

6-Month "Break a Pair" Guarantee

Accidents happen, and we understand that. That's why we offer a 6-month warranty on all our sunglasses. If your lenses or frames are damaged within the first six months of purchase, we'll replace them free of charge. This commitment underscores our confidence in the craftsmanship of our products and our dedication to customer satisfaction.

Lifetime Replacement Program

For long-term assurance, we provide a Lifetime Replacement Program. If your sunglasses are lost or broken after the initial six-month period, you can receive a replacement pair for just $25. This program ensures that you can continue to enjoy our high-quality sunglasses without the worry of full replacement costs.
