Sunglass Frame Material
Polycarbonate (PC) frame: 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.
TR90 frame: 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.
TPEE frame: A thermoplastic elastomer used for frames of sports and kids eyewear.Exceptionally soft and flexible rubber material.
Frames made of TPEE retain their shape after bending,are pleasant to the touch and comfortable to wear.
TPX Floating Frame: A floatable type of plastic material used for the frames of floating sunglasses designed for sailors,surfers,fishermen and all fans of water sports. Flexible, durable and ultra-light.
Sunglass Lens Features
Polarized lenses:
Heavy Duty,Wear Resistant,Lightweight
Lenses filter 100% UVA and UVB.
Polarizing filter absorbs 99% reflected glare.
Polarizing provides better contrast and accurate colour definition.
Hard surface coated for excellent scratch resistance.
Glare control polarized layer.
it increases visual acuity and enhance visual performance,which improves contrast and sharpness in your vision.
Photochromic lenses:
Photochromic lenses automatically adjust to changing light intensities and conditions.
These lenses actually get darker on bright days,and lighter when conditions get darker.it is also polarized.
Sunglass Lens Basic Colors (Tints)
Lens colors affect how much visible light reaches your eyes,how well you see other colors and how well you see contrasts.
Dark colors (brown/gray/green) are ideal for everyday use and most outdoor activities.Darker shades are intended primarily to cut through the glare and reduce eyestrain in moderate-to-bright conditions.Gray and green lenses won’t distort colors,while brown lenses may cause minor distortion.
Light colors(yellow/gold/amber/rose/vermillion): These colors excel in moderate- to low-level light conditions.They are often great for skiing, snowboarding and other snow sports.They provide excellent depth perception,enhance contrast sin tricky,flat-light conditions,improve the visibility of objects and make your surroundings appear brighter.
Sunglass Lens Coatings
The more expensive the sunglasses,the more likely they are to have several layers of coatings.
These can include hydrophobic coating to repel water,an anti-scratch coating to improve durability and an anti-fog coating for humid conditions or high-energy activities.
Mirrored or flash coating refers to a reflective film applied to the outside surfaces of some sunglass lenses.They reduce glare by reflecting much of the light that hits the lens surface.Mirrored coatings make objects appear darker than they are, so lighter tints are often used to compensate for this.
