Questions and answers

Which is better for running and active use?
The Huron Matte Black. Its rubber nose pads and rubber temple tips are built to hold a no-slip fit, and the rimless TR-90 frame is lighter. The Classic Timber has no rubber grip points listed.
Is the Huron worth $20 more?
Only if fit matters. Both use polarized polycarbonate lenses with 100% UV protection and similar VLT (12% vs 13%). The extra $20 buys the rimless frame and rubber grip, not better optics.
Which fits a larger face?
The Huron Matte Black, listed as average to large. The Classic Timber is small to medium, so it will likely pinch on wide heads.
Do both block the same amount of UV?
Yes. Both list 100% UV protection and polarized polycarbonate lenses.
Which has the darker lens?
Nearly the same. The Huron is 12% VLT and the Classic Timber is 13% VLT, so the Huron is marginally darker.
Which has more buyer feedback?
The Classic Timber, with 632,008 ratings at 4.8 out of 5. The Huron has 9,614 ratings at 4.9 out of 5.
