Sensible Pricing
In today’s overpriced performance eyewear and sunglass market, We take pride in our sensible pricing policy. Performance sunglass prices are rising so quickly that retailers are experiencing profit margin losses and slower product sell-through. Our philosophy is to provide affordable pricing, value, product quality, and performance. We back-up our philosophy with excellent service and product support.

Composite Shock Frames
Our Composite Shock Frames are used to create a low mass / low inertia frame which will not bounce or shift during athletic activity. Our Eyewear is built to meet the toughest challenges of competition and active life-styles. Composite Shock Frames are extremely durable to withstand the rugged demands of active sports. Lightweight frames are designed for long wearing comfort and to absorb punishment.

Xtreme Lens Technology
Blocks glare without changing color perception. Multi-Color flash mirror coatings reflect light creating anti-glare viewing.  Xtreme Lens Technology creates smoke grey viewing on the inside and Xtreme Lens Technology Multi-Color flash on the outside.

Polarized - Multi-Layer Filtration
Our high definition polarized Multi-Layer Filtration lenses are one piece, distortion free, ophthalmic quality, and high tech polycarbonate. There are no laminates to separate and nothing to degrade the polarization as with laminated films. Laminated polarized lenses can delaminate due to faulty bonding, aging and exposure to heat. Our Multi-Layer Filtration is distributed evenly throughout the lens and not laminated to the lens as found on inferior polarized lenses. Our Polarized Multi-Layer Filtration lenses block vertically-reflected light by horizontally aligning the crystalline structure of the lens. This makes them ideally suited for use around water, snow, and for driving. Avoid cheap polarized glasses, because hazy lenses may result in eye strain.

99.9% without distortions or irregularities that are common in less quality glass or plastic lenses. Plastic lenses bend when held tightly by frames. This bends the polarized light filter. Variations can be extreme, significantly reducing the effective polarization. This is common with CR-39 plastic lenses.

We use only the clearest, optical quality, polarized light filters. Less quality filters have inherent haziness or impurities that reduce optical clarity as well as adversely affect polarization.

Polycarbonate Lenses
Our shatterproof polycarbonate lenses are optically correct for zero distortion to provide outstanding optical performance and enhanced vision in any lighting condition. Polycarbonate is the newest development in lens materials. It is a type of LEXAN® from G.E., the same material used for bullet resistant glass in autos. It is such hard material that a special diamond grinding wheel must be used to cut the lens. To form the glasses the material is melted and then force injected into a special mold. The polycarbonate material is naturally UV absorbing, so even the clear lenses are 100% Ultraviolet protected. Polycarbonate in certain glasses is actually approved for use as safety glasses. Polycarbonate lenses are lightweight, durable, impact-resistant and the most scratch-resistant of the plastics. They are virtually break proof. Polycarbonate eyewear is the only approved eye protection for most major Police & Fire Departments. Our Sunglasses are warranted by the manufacturer to meet or exceed ANSI Z87.1, ANSI Z87.3 and OSHA Safety Standards. These standards are applicable to U.S. Government standards for ultraviolet protection and impact resistance.

Venting Systems
Our Venting Systems incorporates exhaust vents into some of their lenses and frame designs to enhance air-flow and virtually eliminate fog and condensation. This design feature allows maximum ventilation while blocking extraneous incoming light.

Nose Grips
Our nose grips create a non-slip grip that keeps our sunglasses securely in place during athletic activity. This self-adjusting material ensures a soft feel and custom fit regardless of head shape or size.

Temples / Earstems
The temples on our models are curved to shadow the contours of your head without putting pressure on your temples. Most are then wrapped in a non-slip material to ensure they stay securely and comfortably on your head. This advanced anatomical design ensures a secure fit with exceptional comfort.

Better Durability
Innovative placement of mirrors behind glass SO MIRRORS ARE SCRATCH PROOF. Our glass lenses are specially hardened and treated producing high structural strength and excellent scratch resistance. Less quality glass lenses and plastic lenses will scratch much easier.

Lens Tints and Coatings
Smoke, Gray and Gray-Green tints... The most common type of lens color. They are effective at blocking glare without changing color perception, making them a good choice for all-weather use.

Amber, or Brown lens tints... Especially good at blocking the blue light commonly found in diffused light such as one might experience on a cloudy day. Amber can improve both contrast and depth perception, and is a good all-around choice if you live in an area with changeable weather patterns.

Yellow or Amber tints...Improve contrast and give a sensation of heightened visual acuity. So-called "Driving" lenses are usually amber or yellow-brown.

UV Protection
Our Eyewear provides the industry standard UV 400 eye protection. All of our Eyewear is warranted by the manufacturer to meet or exceed applicable U.S. Government standards for ultraviolet protection and impact resistance.

Total UV Protection... Innovative, High Tech Coatings Provide Better Protection From UV, Infrared, Blue Light, Glare, Back Reflections. Significantly Improves Contrast, Clarity And Comfort!

Best Combination of Features
Our Sunglasses is the first to offer all of the above features in special combinations. Producing a significantly better sunglass. We established new standards for sunglass performance, pricing and remains a technically advanced sunglass.

Storage
It's always best to place your sunglasses in a case when you aren't wearing them. Not only will it help in preventing them from becoming scratched, but it will also protect them from accidentally breaking, like someone sitting on them.

Avoid placing your glasses without a case in your purse or pocket. Keys or combs can easily scratch them.

Cleaning
Clean dust and lint from your lenses with a soft cloth. An excellent suggestion is the Micro Fiber cloth, which we stock in all of our stores. Using a Micro Fiber Cloth will ensure that the lenses do not become scratched
