Most frames of sports sunglasses and goggles are constructed of polycarbonate because of its interesting features. It is extremely hard, thermoplastic, lightweight and highly impact-resistant material.
A high quality type of nylon characterized by an extremely high bending strength. Lightweight, tough and shape-retaining material that is also exceptionally impact-resistant. It is used in sports glasses because of its shock resistance, flexibility, durability and non-allergenic properties.
Silicone offers stability over a wide temperature range and is a perfect material to be used in adverse weather conditions. Soft, non-allergenic nose pads and temple ends made of silicone guarantee a pressure-free, non-slip fit and reliable eye protection and significantly improve wearing comfort.
An exceptionally soft, gentle and pleasant to the touch coating which is applied to the frames of glasses in order to maximize the wearing comfort. Soft touch technology guarantees a pressure-free, temperature-resistant protection and helps to keep the glasses securely in place.
Polycarbonate lenses are lightweight, thin, durable and impact-resistant. Sports eyewear lenses are usually made of polycarbonate because it is naturally UV absorbing and scratch-resistant material enhancing the vision in any lighting conditions.
Polarized lenses are designed to reduce irritating reflections and glare caused by light reflected from surfaces such as water, road, sand or snow. All polarized lenses absorb 100% of UV light and eliminate 99% glare light. Polarized sunglasses are particularly popular with fishermen, boaters, skiers, snowboarders, bikers and other outdoor sports enthusiasts. In fact, all wearers who work or rest in the sunshine will enjoy a clearer view and elimination of glare. Polarized sunglasses are the perfect driving glasses due to the glare reduction. They can also be used by people who suffer from oversensitivity to sun rays.
Photochromic lenses darken when exposed to UV light and gradually return to the original state once the light is reduced. They protect the eyes in a wide variety of lighting conditions. In addition, photochromic lenses provide 100% protection from harmful solar radiation.
(YELLOW, AMBER, ORANGE) Yellow, amber or orange tints improve contrast in poor visibility, heighten visual acuity, filter out blue light and enhance the perception of depth. Brightening lenses increase safety in adverse weather conditions; ideal for drivers, bikers and winter sport enthusiasts.
The anti-fog coating prevents the fogging of the lens in low temperatures to insure a clearer vision. When cleaning a single lens with the anti-fog treatment gently pat a lens, avoid any rubbing of the inside surface so as not to damage the anti-fog layer. The lenses generally do not retain their anti-fog properties indefinitely. The anti-fog coating may wear out or become scratched over time.

The anti-reflective coating is applied to the lens in order to improve the visibility through the lenses and reduce annoying reflections and UV radiation.
Permanent coating applied to the lenses helps to prevent scratches. Anti-scratch layer makes lenses more durable.
Double lens system is used in ski goggles in order to support the proper system of ventilation. The system is constructed of an exterior polycarbonate lens and an interior acetate lens. The thermal barrier created between the lenses successfully prevents fogging and provides additional protection.
The lens ventilation system is used in protective eyewear (e.g. sunglasses for cyclists) to maximize airflow which eliminates fogging of the lens to give a clear vision and keep eyes dry.
TPU (THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE)
Exceptionally durable material retaining its elasticity in a wide temperature range. Goggle frames made of TPU are soft, comfortable, scratch and impact-resistant.
TAC polarized filter is laminated with triacetate cellulose and additionally protected by extremelly impact-and scratch-resistant hard coating on the outer layer. The lenses block 100% of all UV and eliminate 99% glare light. They enhance visibility by improving color contrast. The durable protective films prevent the TAC lenses from delamination or shrinking.
The toughest lens with the highest optical quality. The perfect combination of the polarized and polycarbonate lens: tough, lightweight, durable, impact and scratch resistant; it absorbs 100% of UV radiation and eliminates 99% glare light. Polycarbonate polarized lenses are particularly recommended for extreme sports enthusiasts as well as athletes, boaters, skiers, snowboarders, bikers and all wearers who work or rest in the glaring sun and need protection from strong sunlight.
High quality material traditionally used for producing optical frames and frames of classically designed sunglasses. Typical properties of cellulose acetate include: toughness, deep gloss, high transparency. Moreover, it is hypoallergenic and pleasant to the touch. Production technique allows the frames to be cut from sheets of cellulose acetate and bent in high temperature achieving spectacular colour effects.
