Sunglasses for active people



Very high range sunglass with unique technical features. Almost no other sunglasses on the cycling market have the same type of lenses. The frame is made of Grilamid TR90 material: very light, shock resistant, safe and elastic (virtually unbreakable). Three sets of lenses packed in a very nice shock-resistant case: pink mirrored, red revo and orange hydrophobic and oilphobic. These last lenses in particular, manufactured in FRANCE, are made of MAKROLON® from BAYER SWISS MATERIAL SCIENCE. MAKROLON® is one of the best molding compound available nowadays on the market and is known for its high light transmission (totally clear and transparent like glass), high heating resistance, great toughness, and very good dimensional stability. The benefits of the ORION superficial treatment technology (O.S.T.) allow these very special lenses to be totally hydrophobic and oilphobic. Therefore rain, mud, fat, sweat, and various types of oils do not stick at all on these very special lenses but go away very easily. This leads the cyclist to have a sharp, clear and unobstructed vision with some important advantages such as the low maintenance of the lenses: smudges and smears wipe off easily, no smearing nor streaking, no oil nor water/sweat smears, no blurred vision because the vision stays instead sharp and crystal clear at all times. GIRL is also available, upon request, with photochromic lenses 100% anti-fog (they don't get fogged not even if put them on water boiling at 100°). For all those girls who take this sport seriously but want to bring it a feminine touch.


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.

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.
