Vector - with interchangeable lenses

Polaroid has put a lot of thought into the 2010 range of sports sunglasses. We wanted to give our customers lightweight styles that were ultra durable. And, of course every pair comes with polarized lenses to protect against glare. UV protection and distinctive good looks complete the package.

But you don’t just have to take our word for it, John at London Cycle Sport has taken Vector our for a test run.  Have a look at what he has to say.

Technix VII give you clear contrasts on bright days.

The thing about being married to someone who works with Polaroid sunglasses is that they are constantly asking you to try new sunglasses. Me, I’m content with my pair from last year. The lenses have a scratch- resistant coating and they’re still in great condition. So what does my wife do? She gives my perfectly good sunglasses to the neighbour’s boy. Suddenly, he’s zipping past our house in my  sunglasses while my wife rattles on about how the latest golf sunglasses could improve my game and will, in any case, be much better than no sunglasses at all. My wife wins again. So, I reluctantly agreed to try some new sunglasses…

In our corner of England, Saturday morning was raw and bright. I put on my new sunglasses with the lavender lens while I hit a few balls on the driving range. So far so good. Technix VII golfing sunglasses are lightweight, and have a slightly larger curved lens that protects the entire eye from wind. I don’t welcome change, but these sunglasses were definitely as comfortable as my last pair.

The Rosaline silk print dress is stunning - wear it now with a cardi and later with strappy heels.

There’s nothing wrong with an inexpensive piece of kit that cheers you up and adds some much-needed pleasure to an otherwise grey day in March. But a steady diet of throw-away fashion may leave you with a wardrobe that’s frustratingly limited and doesn’t really make you happy.  An injection of quality may be exactly what you need. And, the good news is that you don’t have to sacrifice your personal style and sense of fun. Quality doesn’t have to mean boring – or a price tag you simply can’t live with. Even better, Polaroid sunglasses have done a bit of leg work for you. Here we’ve put together some of the best and possibly most lasting looks for spring and summer.

Damsel in a Dress doesn’t do ordinary. Everything they do is hand made, and cut to flatter. Even better, the range gives combines great quality with an individual sense of charm. There’s even a hint of glamour from the forties and fifties. And you can find some of the best pieces from the range at John Lewis.

Goodone takes on upcycling – and wins. Upcycling is the perfect solution to fashion’s tendency to waste material. The clothing in their ranges is made from end-of-roll fabrics and used garments from textile recycling plants. But the result is anything but out-of-date. The Slouch Diamond Dress is definitely a winner.

The right eye protection makes all the difference.

Packing for a ski break? Getting ready for some spring mountain biking? Don’t forget to bring your goggles or a pair of sunglasses.  When you’re at high altitudes, UV protection may be more important than you think.

Blocking glare and more.

Polaroid sunglasses have a polarizing filter that blocks glare – reflected sunlight travelling in the horizontal plane. And that makes it easier and more comfortable to see. But it doesn’t end there. Our sunglasses and goggles also come with UV filters that block 100% of dangerous ultra violet light. Like all light, UV light travels in waves, but the human eye can’t see UV rays.

Not only will they protect your eyes from dangerous ultraviolet rays, they’ll give you the style and comfort you need whether you’re sitting on a beach, driving or just getting out and about.
