Grey/Copper

Low light conditions, increased contrast
Light transmittance rate: 15-12%

The copper lens provides a beautiful warm tint and improves visual definition. Great at cutting out haze, improving depth perception, plus enhanced colour contrast of your surroundings.

The grey tint has a neutral effect on colour perception as is slightly darker than the copper.

100% UVA+UVB Protection.

Polarised Grey/Copper

Total glare protection from the sun 
Light transmittance rate: 11-10%

Polarised lenses provide protection against glare-causing reflections of light from roads, water, snow, and other reflective surfaces.

This makes them a popular choice for cycling, sailing, skiing, fishing and golf because they increase contrast and definition while also protecting your eyes from reflected glare.

Polarised lenses offer the richest colours and sharpest contrast and are a good choice for AirShield sunglasses because they conceal the eye cup better.

100% UVA+UVB Protection.

Xtra Dark*

Photochromic** Contrast™

Light reactive, changes from pale yellow to grey 
Light transmittance rate: 80% - 19%

The photochromic Contrast™ lenses help reduce headlight glare while driving at night or dusk. The Contrast™ lenses turn a grey tint during the day and a pale yellow tint at night.

Photochromic** Eclypse™

Light reactive, changes from near clear to grey 
Light transmittance rate: 80% - 18%

Photochromic Eclypse™ lenses are the fastest light adjusting lenses with brilliant optical clarity. The photochromic lenses darken quickly when coming in contact with UV light rays & adjust to clear as light conditions lower. 

This means they are a versatile choice if you need to wear your glasses/sunglasses both indoors and outdoors.

100% UVA+UVB Protection.

Photochromic** DARKshift™

Light reactive, changes from pale grey to dark grey
Light transmittance rate: 78% - 9%
NOT suitable for driving at night

Introducing the darkest light adjusting lenses on the market. This photochromic advancement not only transitions darker but has a higher ABBE value that provides superior optical clarity. (ABBE value is a measure of the degree to which light is dispersed or separated when passing through a lens).

100% UVA+UVB Protection. 

*Due to the level of tint on the XTRA and ULTRA dark lenses, when you place an order for glasses with one of these tints, we will require a written confirmation from you. This is just to say that you understand they are not to be used for driving and due to the level of tint, care should be taken whenever they are worn to avoid unintentional injury to yourself or others.

** Photochromic, or light-reactive lenses, are activated by UV light. This means the lenses do not darken as much behind a windscreen or motorcycle helmet visor. Also, they will darken more when used in cold climates than in very warm ones.
