The 2009 Sports Sunglass Collection is the most comprehensive, high technology range yet developed by Polaroid. The Collection takes the best in materials, such as the latest lightweight composites combined with cutting edge frame designs ideally suited to the demands of the cycling track, road races and mountain bike terrain. All styles feature genuine Polaroid polarized lenses which deliver 100% UV protection, block glare and are shatter-resistant.
Endurance is everything
Stamina and endurance are key issues for every sports cyclist and your kit should perform to the same tough levels. With Polaroid’s Sport Sunglasses, the ergonomic frame designs ensure a comfortable, secure long term fit during even the most rigorous event – they even stay in place when you begin to sweat. Many styles feature ventilated nose grips made of soft durable rubber, so no more fogging lenses. The curved lenses and face hugging designs protect your eyes from dust and grit, no matter what wind direction and whether you are leading the field or keeping pace with the pack.
Perfect vision for a perfect finish
All Polaroid’s Sports Sunglasses offer the perfect vision afforded by Polaroid’s unique PTX4000 polarized lenses. For our typically mixed weather conditions, these optically corrected grey lenses enable you to see true colours, alerting you to changing terrains whether it’s cloudy or bright. The range also features interchangeable grey and clear lenses for perfect vision from dawn till dusk. Clear lenses maximize the available light and protect your eyes from flying debris in low light. With superior hydrophobic coatings to prevent fogging these interchangeable lenses give you the edge. There are sports sunglasses with brown lenses too, that sharpen your view of road and track surfaces so you can cycle more safely in strong sunlight.
While conventional sunglasses just make the view darker, Polaroid PTX4000 polarized lenses, also block out harmful glare and provide 100% UV protection. They offer the highest level of protection for your eyes and clarity of vision. Every pair of Polaroid Sports Sunglasses in the 2009 range gives 100% protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays – up to 400 nanometers. Polaroid’s lenses exceed international standards for polarizing efficiency and visual acuity too. So not only are Polaroid Sports Sunglasses engineered to deliver perfect performance, they can help you beat your personal best and the competition!
