Sunglasses for active people

A lovely Italian designed and styled frame in Grilamid TR90 material; safe, foldable, elastic & unbreakable. You can actually fold the frame without breaking it. TPR Hypoallergenic material with holes to let out sweat. 3 sets of lenses: Photochromatic clear/grey, blue revo, smoke polarized (foldable/elastic/unbreakable). Weighs a super-light 16 grams!

I had my Bolle, Smith and Oakley-wearing friends try them all on and give me their comparison opinions.  The "clarity" of the lens is very comparable.  The fit of the glasses is also similarly comfortable.  If one of our models doesn't fit, we can exchange it for another, with 100% product credit.  Except for the nose piece of the Top Gun model, none of the nose or ear pieces are 'user-adjustable'. An optometrist has special equipment for heating the plastic and making bends to fit a person's head, but this should not be attempted yourself. Choose from one of many items we have in stock; Air Force One, F104, Hercules, Mig Prescription, Mirage, Phantom, Tomcat, Topgun, Hercules, or Starfighter

World's Lightest Sunglass at only 16 grams!

For all of the Dolce Vita branded sunglasses, you can find the darkness of the different lenses in the table below.  100% transmission would be a perfectly clear glass, but even glass absorbs some rays of light.  Not all glasses come with interchangeable lenses, some only come with one fixed lens, so read the description carefully.  No, we don't sell the lenses separately and we don't have replacement lenses if they get scratched. But think of it this way, if you do scratch the lens, you still have extras and don't need to throw out the glasses.
Lens Tints
Light Transmission Weather Conditions and use
Smoke 11% Summer - Very sunny days with direct sunlight
Dark Orange 47% Summer/Spring - Sunny days with haze
Light Blue 75% Spring/Autumn - minimal shading
Yellow 83% Spring/Autumn - dusk or hazey conditions
Transparent 92% Winter - Days with little light

All of our sunglasses offer 100% UVA and UVB protection. Glasses with interchangeable lenses have been tested by accredited agencies and meet the ANSI Z80.3 standard for UV safety and quality. They also comply with the European quality standards (EEC Law 86/686) and meet European Norm 1836/1997. The Z80.3 standard tests for UV absorption at different frequencies of light.  UVA is from 315-380nm and UVB from 290-315nm, which is why you often see the UV400 symbol now, meaning that the lens absorbs UV light under 400 nano meters.  The Z80.3 standard also tests for color blockage of traffic signals: we passed.  These glasses also passed the test for extended exposure to UV, meaning they provide the same UV protection under prolonged (all-day) use in intense sun.

All of the interchangeable lenses are made of polycarbonate shatterproof plastic and meet the ANSI Z87.1 standard for eye protection from flying objects.  Which means you can wear these when shooting, using power tools, on job sites or gardening. These glasses are especially well suited to cycling, motorcycle riding, golf, tennis and triathlon. Paintball shooters should always wear eye protection with ANSI ratings.  Goggles are best for this, but a wrap around sunglass would also give some protection.
