Lens information: Our standard tinted lenses are for those want a high quality lens without all the bells & whistles. These lenses don’t offer any polarisation but they will increase contrast by the very nature of the coloured tint

Tints: Brown lenses offer the best vision over a wide range of lighting conditions and increase contrast especially in shades of green (i.e. trees, bushes, and grass). They also contain a yellow element which helps to improve depth perception. Grey lenses are better for high levels of light as they are the darkest tint with highest light reduction. They reduce glare and maintain a true colour perception. Yellow, Orange & Vermillion/Rose increase contrast and brighten vision in low light and overcast conditions. Yellow lenses work superbly at dusk or early dawn. Orange & Vermillion are perfect overcast/mid light. Green is a general purpose tint and is good at preserving colour balance. Green lenses increase contrast whilst dimming bright light and brightening shadows. Purple lenses are often know as background neutralisers as they dull greens and blues to help define contours and increase contrast. They are best suited to sports where identifying a target within a landscape is crucial, however, purple lenses also work well on cloudy or snowy days.

Lens information: Polarised lenses increase contrast and remove virtually all horizontal glare from reflective surfaces. They are the lens of choice for many sports due to their high definition qualities but they are particularly important for activities involving water. They offer excellent penetration when looking into water and protect the eyes from the glare produced by sun reflecting off the water’s surface.

Tints: Brown & Grey are the most popular tints for most sports glasses and blend well with virtually all frame colours. Brown lenses offer the best vision over a wide range of lighting conditions and really enhance shades of green (i.e. trees, bushes, and grass). Grey lenses are better for high levels of light whilst maintaining true colour perception. Green is a general purpose tint and is good at preserving colour balance. Green lenses increase contrast whilst dimming bright light and brightening shadows.

Lens information: Our mirror finish not only look good but they are polarised which means they have superb contrast and definition, whilst removing virtually all horizontal glare from reflective surfaces. This makes them the lens of choice for many sports and particularly for activities involving water and snow. They offer excellent penetration when looking into water or snow and protect the eyes from the glare produced by sun reflecting off these surfaces.

Tints: Whichever colour you choose to match your frames, all our mirror finish lenses use a grey polarised lens as their base. This offers great contrast and definition whilst maintaining true colour perception. Due to the mirror coating that is applied on top of the lens base, the mirror lenses are darker than a standard grey polarised lenses. This makes them great for mid-high levels of light but not suitable for low levels of light.
