+ Fabriqué chez Jean, France
We selected a dark category 3 coating to ensure confort in all situations and a light category 4 for all terrain. Both categories 3 and 4 fit perfectly for mountains activities. For people who are mainly using our sunglasses in high mountains we recommend category 4 lenses.
Category 3
Alps Mirror: 10% visual light transmittance (VLT)
Category 4
(not suitable for driving)
Flash Electric: 5.24 % visual light transmittance (VLT)
UV protection
Our lenses are blocking 100% UV radiation.
VLT-visual light transmittance
Visual light transmittance is the amount of light in the visible portion of the spectrum that passes through a glazing material. All our lenses are under 15% VLT which assure a highly reflecting coating
Polarized
Polarized lenses eliminate glare from reflective surface. On snow the reflection can indicate ice or crevasses area. This is the reason why we do not use polarized lenses.
We are upcycling strings from old paragliders to use them as sunglasses cords. The strings are made out of Dynema®. They are delivered in aleatory colors depending on arrival. Take a minute to choose and tie your favorite knot!
We use rubber nose pads and temple tips to ensure a great grip. Using a combination of metal and rubber allow you to bench and adjust them to your face.
We work closely with Jean, a 3rd generation eyewear craftsman and owner of the Lucal family business, which has extensive expertise in the treatment of metal surfaces. Offering a metal frame means greater durability in the life cycle. We opted for recycled stainless steel because it's strong, durable and lightweight.
