Grey polarized lenses

• A dark tint ideal for bright, sunny conditions
• Filter category 3 polarized lenses significantly reduce direct and reflected glare
• Neutral effect on color perception
• Good choice for leisure use, driving in bright sunshine, Alpine walking, sea fishing, sailing, photography, reading a book outdoors in bright sunlight

Brown polarized lenses

• Suitable for bright and overcast conditions
• Filter category 3 polarized lenses significantly reduce direct and reflected glare
• Brown tint filters out blue light, sharpening visual acuity and enhancing depth perception
• Best choice for shallows fishing in bright conditions
• Looks good over brown or tortoiseshell spectacle frames

Copper polarized lenses

• A lighter tint, ideal for hazy sunshine and variable light conditions
• Filter category 2 copper tint filters out blue and green wavelengths in sunlight that are the chief components of glare and haze
• Enhance contrast on hazy and overcast days, reducing squinting and resulting strain.
• The lenses make everything appear sharper, brighter and more vivid, without distorting colors
• Best choice for all year round daytime driving and for golf

Yellow polarized lenses

• The lightest tint, ideal for enhancing light in poor visibility on misty, rainy, or dull days
• Filter category 1 yellow tint filters out blue light, reducing headlight glare and enhancing contrast
• The lenses make everything appear sharper, brighter and more vivid, without distorting colors
• Best choice for winter daytime driving and for golf and fishing in lower light conditions

Our polarized clip on sunglasses have been tested and approved for driving, and meet standards recognition of traffic signal lights and colors.

Our polarized lens colors are optimized for use in different light conditions.

The polarizing lenses act like a microscopic venetian blind to reduce the sun's glare by up to 99.97%. This is particularly important when driving where reflected glare from road surfaces and car bonnets can be a severe hazard and cause eye fatigue.

It is important to observe our safety guidelines when using clip on sunglasses for driving and never use them for driving at night.

Driving in very bright conditions

For driving in bright, sunny conditions where intense reflected sunlight is a problem, use the polarized smoke grey lenses. They are designed for intensive sunlight conditions. Their low visible transmittance, combined with 99% polarize efficiency, provide maximum protection against the sun.

The grey lenses reduce light intensity, while maintaining original color, with no distortion. They relieve glare and increase contrast.

Driving in moderate to bright sun

Brown is good for driving in moderate to bright light conditions.

This lens tint combines 99% polarize efficiency with high blue light absorption and therefore provides high contrast and enhanced depth perception.

All year round driving in variable conditions

Copper is good for driving in variable light conditions because the lenses offer the best compromise between visible light transmittance, blue light absorption and a high red factor.

This results in enhanced reds such as traffic lights and car brake lights. The lenses enhance color contrast sensitivity and give you a sharper image under hazy weather conditions. Because our lenses our polarized, they significantly reduce the sun's glare.

Winter driving in hazy and misty conditions

Yellow polarized clip on lenses are an excellent choice for winter driving. The yellow filter gives you sharper vision in misty, rainy or dull conditions, while the polarization virtually eliminates the glare from low angle sun or car headlights.

Additionally, the lenses benefit from a flash-mirrored front surface, and an anti-reflective back surface that makes them more comfortable to wear, by reducing reflections of light from behind you that bounce off the surface into your eyes.

Note: these lenses are not recommended for night driving.

Fishing in bright sunshine

For lake or river fishing in bright sunshine, use the polarized brown category 3 filter lenses.

They combine 99% polarize efficiency with high blue light absorption and therefore provide high contrast and enhanced depth perception.

Fishing in moderate sunshine and variable conditions

For shallows fishing in moderately bright conditions, cloudy and variable weather, use the polarized copper category 2 lenses.

Copper lenses have been developed to enhance color contrast, depth perception and detail recognition, reducing squinting and resulting eye strain. They are particularly effective for seeing under the surface of shallow lakes, as the photographs above illustrate.

The polarization of the copper lenses will still help to reduce the sun's glare even though the tint is lighter.

Fishing in hazy and misty conditions

Yellow polarized clip on lenses are an excellent choice for those early morning starts and in the autumn when it can be hazy or misty.

The yellow filter gives you sharper vision in poor light conditions, while the polarization virtually eliminates the glare from low angle sun when it comes out.

Additionally, the lenses benefit from a flash-mirrored front surface, and an anti-reflective back surface that makes them more comfortable to wear, by reducing reflections of light from behind you that bounce off the surface into your eyes.

Which lenses are best for sea fishing?

Sea fishing enthusiasts generally recommend grey tinted lenses for maximum protection when fishing in the open sea in bright, sunny, conditions. However, the grey lens color will not enhance contrast and so is not optimum for river and lake fishing in relatively shallow water.
