The crew from PlanetSolar, the world’s largest solar powered boat, stopped off in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour as part of their 18 month journey around the world on their mission to promote renewable energy. Polaroid Eyewear is PlanetSolar’s exclusive sunglasses supplier, giving the crew glare-free vision as they sail.
The catamaran set sail from Monaco in September 2010, and has so far travelled more than 35,000 kilometres across Atlantic and the Panama Canal, and is currently sailing the Pacific heading for Singapore. It’s due to complete its mission and dock in Monaco in May.
The great thing about Polaroid sunglasses is there’s a pair to suit the whole family. Mum, Dad, the kids – they can all benefit from the stylish designs, full UV protection and hard-wearing materials on offer.
If you start your kids wearing sunglasses early, you stand them in good stead for the future. Children’s eyes are more vulnerable to light, so UV damages their eyes to a greater extent than adults.
But we understand that children are more up to date with the latest fashions than we ever were! So Polaroid’s kid’s sunglasses come in a wide range of styles, colours and materials to suit even the most fashion-conscious youngster. Read more…
I’m Monique Lagnerius and I’m a professional Hair and Make Up artist. My clients take me all over the world to many exotic places, it’s a hard life! But as I’m often outside preparing my models for the high fashion photo shoots, I’m conscious that I need to protect my skin and my eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. I’m often asked to try out and review different products, so this year I’m taking a few pairs of Polaroid sunglasses on my travels with me.
This month, I’ve enjoyed being on location at the luxurious Côte d’Azur, on the French Riviera. We’ve been shooting images for a fashion book with a group of male models. You can see me in this photograph on location wearing my Polaroid Soul F8105B fashion sunglasses. I just love the oversized frames and they almost hide my blushes!
Having good vision means that your eyes are healthy, right? Wrong. But that’s what four in ten people around the world believe.
Today is World Sight Day. To mark the occasion, Johnson & Johnson commissioned a survey to understand how different countries across the world perceive eye health. UV rays are a major problem when it comes to keeping your eyes healthy. That’s why Polaroid sunglasses block out all types of UV rays up to 400nm.
Results from this study show that globally, 87% of adults are aware that UV rays damage their eyes, but surprisingly only 57% protect themselves by wearing sunglasses. More worryingly, just 38% protect their youngster’s sensitive eyes by making them wear children’s sunglasses.
The press and PlanetSolar partners watched the launch.
The largest solar-powered catamaran in the world, PlanetSolar, was launched today. The team behind this remarkable project were thrilled to see this futuristic craft winched from dry docks onto the water.
At 15:30 on the dot, the boat was gently lowered onto the Baltic Sea where she will remain until she begins her maiden voyage. ProjectSolar is a ground-breaking project with one crusade in mind. To sail around the world using only solar energy for power. Polaroid Eyewear is an official sponsor and supports PlanetSolar’s educational crusade to promote renewable energy sources.
