When polarized is wrong.

Lens technology
Three lenses, three problems solved.
Glare off water, light that shifts faster than you can swap a lens, distance you need to read on dirt. Every lens we sell does one job particularly well — match the lens to the day.
Polarized
A film inside the lens kills horizontal glare — the flat reflections off water, asphalt and snow. The contrast you get back is the difference between guessing the shape on the trail and seeing it.
- Cuts glare 99.9%
- Water, road, snow
- Cat. 3 default
Photochromic
A reactive coating that shifts from clear to dark in roughly twenty seconds. Useful when the long run takes you from forest to peak sun in the same hour — and back again at the col.
- Cat. 1 to 4 in ~20 s
- Trail, road, alpine
- One lens, all light
Mirrored
A vapor-deposited mirror coating on the outer face bounces back another 10% of visible light. Cooler temples, less squint at altitude, eight colours to choose from.
- +10% reflectance
- High altitude, cycling
- Eight finishes

Every frame in our catalogue goes through six months of field rotation before it leaves the workshop — trail runners in the Cévennes, cyclists on the Col du Galibier, sailors in the Med. If the temple slips, the lens fogs or the rubber gives up, we redraw the part.

Workshop
How we strip three grams off a 21-gram frame.
Half-rim construction, a thinner bridge, a hinge milled from a single block. Three grams is roughly the weight of a paper clip. On a six-hour ride, it's the difference between forgetting your frame and feeling it.

Field test
UV at altitude, explained.
UV intensity climbs roughly 10% per 1,000 m. At 3,500 m on snow, you're seeing four times the dose you'd see at sea level. Cat. 4 isn't a fashion choice — it's the price of admission.
